I'M RICH I'M RICH SUCK MY loving DICK HATERS I'M GONNA EMBEZZLE MYSELF A loving GOLDEN BOAT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH Ahem. The votes. 1: A. We've had a simply sensational rise, but the smart money is on the Premier League hitting us like a pissed off Hulk. While you've earned our utmost faith in you coach, the top level is an entirely different beast and I don't think this current club is capable of hanging around, but the one that we can build with a healthy injection of TV money 2: B. The idea of importing in this so-called "slave labor" intrigues me... 3: B. If we're going to be spending significant amounts of money on this wunderkins, it only behooves us to give them every opportunity to bring us to glory. 4: B. There are certain tropical climates that I humbly volunteer my services to scout. I have this new golden boat I need to test out...

Can we propose a two stage budget? Like, go up to B until towards the end of the transfer window. If we look like we have a good shot to avoid relegation, authorise C at that point. In absence of that measure BBBB

( ly) Hah, these chumps, my real name actually is Sky Shadowing.You also joke, but honestly from everything I've read in SAS that's pretty much exactly the opinion the British government has about sports. VVV Maybe not draw in the Messis or Ronaldos of the world, but being able to scout globally would increase the odds of us finding those 'hidden gem' type players like Meteor or our new French lad.

I'm assuming by the way that even if we could scout globally our rep wouldn't be high enough at this point to actually draw players in yet. Also assuming that if we get a foreign feeder club we'll still be sending the kind of players we would've sent to a championship team.

Those teams are Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and probably one or two others that were sugar daddied and taken over by oil barons. On the bright side, the Premiership only has 20 teams rather than 24, so there are only 38 league games in a year, with the added bonus of scheduled international breaks.

Sky Shadowing posted:The short answer is 'Brazilian Wonderkid Regens.' The slightly longer answer is that while we won't be able to get the creme de la creme of those players, we'll be able to sign ones who aren't currently great but have the potential to be. Much like we have with players in the UK and Ireland and now in the rest of Europe. JT Jag posted:I don't think our scouting knowledge is 100% in just the areas that we are currently covering. And expanding our scouting range is going to cause our scouting knowledge to take a hit. I just think we should focus on our current range until our scouting knowledge hits 100% again. Also, we can't scout ANYONE outside of Europe right now. So even if I did find a player who seemed intriguing, I couldn't get a scout to compile a simple scouting report on him. So, for example, i've mentioned Rocky Bastable a couple times. I have no clue what his upside is, just his basic stats, because I can't order a scout to make up a report on a player in the Qatari league since it's outside of Europe. I don't plan on reducing the number of scouts we have in the EU by much, they're still going to be where we're searching for players. But with expanded scouting range I could at least get an informed opinion on how good a player might be (especially for those players who I don't know all the attributes of, since unscouted, non-famous players don't have all their stats listed until you get a scouting report).

What are the residency issues that we would need to overcome if we found a South American or Caribbean wonder-kid that we would need to know about so we can decide if it is worth it at this stage to invest in more scouting powers?

I hope that our best young player that we find while scouting the world is French. The idea of BPL being forced to eat poo poo from an American coach with a Welsh team and a French superstar is just amazing.

KKKLIP ART posted:What are the residency issues that we would need to overcome if we found a South American or Caribbean wonder-kid that we would need to know about so we can decide if it is worth it at this stage to invest in more scouting powers? The simple answer is to use a player who doesn't have a European passport, you need to get him a work permit. To get a work permit, the player either has to be absurdly good, or have played in 75% of his nations international appearances in the last 2 years, for a nation ranked in the top 70, and I think they also have to be a starter for the club team you're purchasing them from. So it isn't all that easy, especially when you're trying to get players from Argentina or Brazil, where some really good players can get totally shut out of the national team. However, if you have a work permit feeder club, you can sign a player who won't get a work permit, and then loan them to a club, usually either in Croatia or Belgium, for a couple years so they can gain European citizenship.
