cerud Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Mainly just a vent posting... Finally got a son in a game, first one since I started playing in 2009. I'm managing Clyde in the Scottish lower divisions and was very surprised to even get one. I'm not a legend, icon, or favoured personnel. I've only been with the club a little over a year, got promoted in the playoffs and am sitting in 2nd in League One. But a son I got and I was happy. Unfortunately, I can't sign him to a youth contract because he doesn't have nationality... He can't get a work permit. First son ever in FM and I can't do anything about it. Arg!!

dafuge Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Does it get any more frustrating than this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerud Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 So frustrating! I didn't even care that he was worthless on two feet! And so my son goes off into the unknown, unsigned by me. Wonder how I got a work permit of this manager's job... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

casdelo Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Add a manager to team of his nationality and sign him that way so he doesn't retire, then subscribe to him and follow his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earnie is God! Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I like that idea, casdelo. Although the OP is a bit unclear as he says he doesn't actually have a nationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerud Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 My nationality is Canadian, so I guess I'd have to add him to a Canadian MLS club. Not really too concerned with it, but it would have been nice to add him to Clyde given that he was with the youth levels and shows 1,195 days already done towards GB nationality. UPDATE: Okay, something I wasn't expecting... He left the club after his youth trial expired. I tried to sign him again to a non-contract. His permit was rejected, but I can still sign him anyways. The transfer won't go through for a year though. He's 17 years old now. Figure I may as well. At least he can train and maybe I can get lucky and loan him to a club in a different country.

KevMS84 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Odd, I thought that usually your son's second nationality would match that of the team your were managing. So in this case he should have had Canadian primary with Scottish secondary nationality. At least that is how my son worked. Then again I'd been managing Newcastle for nearly ten years when mine showed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I'd been managing Newcastle for nearly ten years when mine showed up. Probably due to your length of time with Newcastle. My son has listed his GB nationality as about 2/3 complete. He still needs about 600 days give or take. He'll join my club in a year, which will knock off half of this. For the next year he can train and hopefully be loaned. For myself, I also list American as a 2nd nationality because Canadian and American sports are so intertwined. Having only Canadian nationality in the game comes with zero America scouting knowledge when creating a manager, which is simply unrealistic. It's the only way I can think of to balance this.
