PeeDub Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I joined an Israeli team that has no scouts, and no scouting positions, and no ability to ask the board for more scouts. Is there a mechanism to adding scouts that I don't know about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 What level of team are you managing? Ar there any scouts on the staff allowance page? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Second division Israeli league. No there are no allowances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Looks like you will have to wait till the finances improve and you can then approach the board for more wages for staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) But I can ask for more money for coaches, for physios, etc. I don't seem to be able to ask for more scouts. Any scouts. Edited January 21, 2020 by PeeDub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 What happens if you offer a contract to an unemployed scout? Does the board block it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) yes edit - actually, not sure I tried that. I'll try and get back to you. edit2 - yes, they block it. not sure how to do any recruitment (especially when one of my charges is to sign players I can sell for a profit) without a scout.

PeeDub Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Added a screen shot to show what is available from my staff page re: recruitment team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorks Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You might be able to get around it by hiring a Coach/Physio/DoF or other staff member with good scouting attributes - then sending them to look at players. It appears that your board think you don;t need a cscout, won;t pay for a scout and are unlikely to agree to hiring one. All you can do is keep trying to ask until they allow it.

PeeDub Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Keep trying what? There's actually nothing to try. Something seems wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Do you really need a Director of Football? Maybe you should fire him and look for a scout and data analist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etebaer Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) The Board will not allways give the Option to hire Scouts - that may change over the Season or from one Season to another. As said above - you can circumvent that i.e. by hiring other Stuff and give them Scout as second Job - you only need to find People who agree to that Job offer and many will have quite good Scouting skills.

FrazT Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It doesn't seem at all right that a board can be happy with a DoF and a Data Analyst and not want at least 1 scout- I would report it as a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fire him for sure!! Maybe it helps and you also don't need him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I do like the idea of giving my DOF a secondary job as scout. I am concerned that if I just fire the DOF it will take months if not longer to resolve, and I still have to sign half a roster before then. edit - except that literally no-one will accept such a double role. It's a non-starter for everyone. edit2 - and my board won't let me fire my DOF as it would cost too much. Edited January 23, 2020 by PeeDub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovis Dexter Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A work around may be to select a group of players in the scouting screen, right click on them and go Scouting>>Assign Scout and choose the DoF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
