I just have a small question before I can continue my game:

I am manager of small-town Haarlem (Dutch 2nd division) & have asked my board for a parent club.
They give me Utrecht & AZ as options, but I want to wait 'til I might get Ajax in the future (as in real life Ajax & Haarlem are parent & feeder clubs to eachother).

If I decline both recommendations from my board (both AZ & Utrecht), I can not immediately ask the board for a parent club again & this sounds more than logical to me.

But my question is: WHEN will my board be able to answer my request for a parent club again & will give me a new list of clubs? Will I have to wait a couple of weeks, a season? Or will I never be able to ask for a parent club again with my board, as I have denied their first options?

I'd really like to know, as I am willing to wait 1 season if that means I could maybe get Ajax as feeders. But if the board will never allow the request for a feeder again, I will choose AZ now, as it would be better than nothing (especially with such a low prestige club like Haarlem).

Thanks a lot for answering, as I'm really waiting for an answer before continueing my game.

As time goes by they will give you the option again, so to answer your question: yes, it's possible. The time it takes differs, I'd say something like 2-3 months

If you get promoted to the Eredivisie though, they (Ajax or any other eredivisie team) will cancel the link as you're in the same division.

Thanks for the answer, I'll continue my game instantly!

Duizendmaal dank!

I do think Utrecht has a better youth system, so go with them instead.
