son_of_sosidge Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Is this normal? I just had a message about a football partnership "fee", and discovered that my club (Worksop) now has an affiliation with Plymouth Argyle, which was not the case last season. Is it normal for the board to find affiliates anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 i think sometimes they can do it on their own, although it doesnt happen often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smac Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Had Liverpool pick me up as a feeder as a BBVA team (Spanish second division). I'd been praising various prem clubs trying to get my bids accepted for loans and I think this *may* have helped. Or not. But I'm happy as they've already 2 youngsters who went right into my team.

Ryan,,, Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Haha, I can't even get parent clubs when I ask Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proccy Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just imagine you being the parent club and asking for a feeder club. You don't ask the feeder club directly when you get one. Incidentally, this happened to me once. I was Ipswich Town on FM07 and had just got promoted when I got Inter Milan!! They didn't send me many players though.

Swindon69 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I suddenly got Ath. Madrid when I was in charge of Plymouth - I got a few cracking loan players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakhabbit Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've suddenly aquired a parent club with FM07 too, doesnt always happen so i guess its all down to how good a businessman the chairman is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yup, sometimes the board / chairman will do it for you. Quite a nice surprise, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think it's more down to you getting an offer from another club to be affiliated with them, much like when you ask a club to be a feeder or a parent, and in those circumstances you wouldn't get any message from the chairman or anything saying they found a feeder/parent as your club was found by some other club, Hope that makes sense, looks like gibberish to me but I can't do any better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty useless lol i know lol. the only thing they were higher on was reputation! they are continental, i am national. although they do keep winning their league and i can't win mine cos i can't shift PSG from the top. oh and i just beat my own parent club in europe!! and i deliberately kept the three players they sent me on loan until after that game then terminated their loans as i don't need them!!
