Hi everyone,
I like the idea of affiliate clubs, but as a senior affiliate of 6 smaller clubs, the the whole affiliate thing feels pretty worthless as it stands, because
I can send players on loan, but the affiliate club has no obligation to play the player, so a loan to another club always looks like a better option, taking playing time, training facilities, payment and other factors into consideration.
I have the first option to buy players, but none of them are of any interest at all, and
The annual fee for multiple affiliate clubs are significant.
I don't know, having useless affiliate clubs might be realistic, but in any case, it isn't any fun.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how it could be made more interesting or useful.
