Commercial links

[angs123]

Would it be better if the club you are linking with has a high reputation or a low one?
What should i look for when deciding a commercial link club?

Commercial link as in?
I had a link with a Japanese club before which increased my merchandise sales and I payed them 2million per year,it does not matter as its just to purely make money

I am not saying this is exactly how it works, but club reputation should have something to do with the potential financial benefits. A club with higher reputation normally has more followers and therefore brings in more money. Also making a connection to a club in a big country (bigger market) should bring in more money. USA vs Norway for example.

Right now i asked my board to establish a commercial link, and all the teams they recommended me is from the US. So should i choose the one with the highest reputation since it has "more followers"?

 

[Alcaraz]

In that case,Yes you should or you balance this with the amount of money you have the team every year

I usually chose the team with the highest reputation or the club in the highest league out of the options available when choosing any feeder club. I would imagine that the club with the highest reputation does offer the most money, like you said they will have more supporters.

you can't have a commercial link with a norwigian club. only a U.S. team and Japanese or Chinese club.

with regard to selecting a club often the clubs all have the same reputation or a number of them do.

Often the only differances is how much each club asks for, could this be a factor in how much money you make.

Also i have a look at there facilities as you can first option on any of there players when an offer is accepted by the feeder (normally they have no decent players though).
