Playing FM24 I'm trying to run a tight ship in Dutch 2nd division, but my scouts keep spending 30-40k per month on scouting while my yearly budget is 36k.
I keep seeing these scouting reports that say "this assignment was instigated by the backroom staff during a recent scouting meeting." However I feel I've already set everything so that this shouldn't happen:
Scouting budget to 36k
No scouting
Set every scout to an individual assignment
Took control of assigning scouts
Took control of handling scouting meetings
Switched off the 'keep scout reports up to date' in the shortlists
Yet they still keep scouting random players and wasting my yearly scouting budget each month.
What am I missing? My budgets are too small to not care.
