The Parent Club Dilemma

[Mr 10]

Right, I'm Whitehawk FC in the Skrill Premier after being promoted in my first season, the board are looking for parent clubs and they have given me 3 clubs. I cannot separate it from these 2; Leicester City or Derby County.
I need help choosing which will be most beneficial.

I'm playing with the new 2014/15 update, in the 2nd season and both teams are in the championship (after Leicesters relegation from the Premier League) here are there factors

Derby County
Financial Status: Secure
Training Facilities: Excellent training facilities
Youth Facilities: Superb youth facilities
Media Prediction: 16th
Annual Fee: £24,326

Leicester City
Financial Status: Rich
Training Facilities: Excellent training facilities
Youth Facilities: Great youth facilities
Media Prediction: 7th (better chance of promotion to premier league)
Annual Fee: £25,444

Myself, I'd go for Derby. It's a grand less in annual fee, but the soul factor being 'Superb Youth Facilities' rather than 'Great Youth Facilities'

 

[sammyt]

Agreed, Derby's better youth facilities mean they should be producing better regens

 

[FreakDJ]

Derby because they are more likely to loan better players to your team for a grand less. Maybe scout their teams quickly to see who has better youth/loan players currently that will benefit you for a year or two and make a decision based on that.

Id go derby

 

[Death Ball]

Derby: stated reasons their youngsters will be likely better and because their lower expectations may reflect lower reputation and hence more likelihood their youngsters will accept being loaned to you. Though I suspect the difference between leagues may still be too much.

Actually I think both are possibly to high up and may not wnat to loan you players despite being a feeder club. Did you get a league 1 option? Might be better
