Feeder Clubs?

Does anyone know if this is looking to be sorted out or revamped this time round?

I'm hoping to see a feature that will allow you to view a team page, for example Q.P.R - and click an option saying 'Recommend as Feeder Club' which then gets sent for review to your board and they attempt to sort something out, or reject completely.

I was sick and tired of getting non league clubs and low division Irish / Belgian clubs who non of my players would go to when playing as Villa.

they did not say anything on the video but i think this is a important feature that needs revamping

Is there any way at all that you can manipulate the board to suggest certain clubs? Such as playing a couple of friendlies against the one club?

In Serie A I'm getting offered clubs of an acceptable level (Bordeaux, Maritimo, E. Frankfurt, etc.) but I'd really like a certain type of club in Italy - such as Genoa, Bologna, Brescia, etc.

Thanks, G.

The option to recommend a feeder club would be a great addition to the game.

I'm getting frustrated with not being offered any decent feeder clubs, and requesting a specific one would be great. That way you'd be able to go after the biggest clubs for merchandising and some of the bigger clubs in countries that are used for work permits.

I got offered Man Utd when I was in charge at Bradford so I'm not complaining!

Was that as a Parent Club though?

Hardly going to be a feeder club, was it?! LOL

Heh, you might have just got REALLY lucky

After a while you get offered the option of what kind of feeder you would like to have. Remember though that if a feeder club and parent end up in the same division the agreement gets cancelled.

Aye, happened to me once. It was a sad day

Yeah lol sorry, it was a parent club but thought it would work both ways really?

It just threw me off a little, is all!

Ah, I see. What are the options based on - reputation; country......?

you've probably guessed I'm new to FM. After nearly 20 years of CM I've made the switch - and it's like night and day! It's fantastic.

Yeah I had Chelsea as a parent club for my League Two Luton side.

Most of your years of CM are the same developers as FM mate. SI created old CM (up to 03/04) and FM2005-2009.

Initially you'll only be offered local ones. In time you'll get one's from further away. Eventually your board will ask you what type of feeder they should look for.
