Could try and get a big team as a parent club and get loads of their players on loan. Probably wouldn't have to pay wages and the players would be quite good and help you up the league.
 
Not sure at all. :(

So you are asking at what point in what league or what reputation a club has to have in order for the board to increase the number of coaches you can employ?

Quite a good question and one I've never encountered before. Playing as Man Utd will be like that. Perhaps those who've taken small clubs to the giddy heights of the Premiership and Champions League will know.
 
That's exactly it yes.

I can't say I ever really noticed it with Swansea before, but it's quite ridiculous playing now with Newport and I've made it all the way to pushing for promotion/playoffs in League 2 and still being told I can only have 1 coach.

Whether this is to do with the reputation of the club, or finances I do not know.... but it can't be doing the squad any good in terms of training.

As I said, I do have 4 coaches simply because Newport start with two youth coaches and a goal keeping coach (that is also a player) and one regular coach.

The problem is, if I sack any one of those I can't higher a replacement because I'm too far over the limit. The ones I've got are awful compared to the coaches and staff that are available to me :(

Normally if it says you can have 2 coaches, you can have 4. Or if your Utd and it says no more than 8 coaches you can normally get away with say 14 or so.
Hi mate. Sorry I didn't see this reply. Flipping Thunderbird! Might install Outlook 2007 tomorrow and see what that is like. :)

Anyway that sounds mighty weird. As I've said I've never taken a lower league team up so I couldn't vouch for the expansion of the club in terms of stadium/training ground/staff numbers but that sounds dodgy. Could check over on SI Games in the bug forum?

You could download FM Modifier and change the reputation of the club to the maximum value and see if that changes anything. Keep a copy of the save game if you want to carry on as before. :)
