I was mistaken on what i said about English football. As Perpete mentioned, they are fully professional and simply supplement their staff with interns. I talked with some of my English co workers and their Football system has a lot more levels to it then i realized and its more so their level 6 league thats like that but thats a can of worms im not even opening.
So yes disregard my previous comments on Leagues 1 and 2
The title of intern may be to specific. Unpaid interns in relatively high positions is a thing in many American organizations, that i know first hand. But often times even the Professionals above them are working in a voluntary capacity because newly founded pro leagues or struggling leagues have many teams involved cant that afford an entire staff yet. Those volunteers and interns boost there resumes with those positions for a season or two and then sometimes get hired by organizations that can pay them decent to good money for what they do.
The point of this Suggestion is just as you pointed out, to spare a few thousand per week. The minimal staff you are required to have have no skills. I don't think anyone is talking about the Basic level staff, just the minimal staff. Whether anything changes is another case, but the Basic level staff or level 1 with a skill is probably worth it. With there being a limited number of them on the market at any given point, players like those in this thread simply don't want to pay for a minimal or have the slight annoyance of remembering to fire one once their pay has risen so much when they aren't even as useful as the level 1 staff. I might be confused as to them being level 1 or the Basic truly being the level 1.
"A Doctor with minimal skill might tell your player with a broken leg to take two aspirin" straight from the game manual. That's what people waste 2 grand and rising on until they can hire one of the sparse staff members with a skill? Even Voluntary professionals and Unpaid Interns bring more value to an organization than that and thats facts even if everything else iv said is somehow dead wrong.
