My club is close to breaking European FFP rules and I was planning to sell in the january window to ensure that I comply with the rules. As I am in Europe I my board can only invest 21.55 million over a 3 year period and as such I am suprised to see my board inject 33.5 million into the club. Surely that means my club should be banned from Europe next year regardless of what sales I make?

This has to be a bug surely??? My Chairman has just announced that the club has agreed a new sponsorship with a local company. The deal is for £0 over 3 years. Unless my Chairman has some terrible hidden stats. Not quite the help to my FFP restrainststhat I thought was coming as I first saw the message lol.

In my save which I have transferred from FM23 I have noticed that whenever a player gets signed on loan wit a future fee mentioned in the news report it is c0ompletely different to what appears in their contract info. It seems to happen on every player.

In my save I have used my 6 U21 signings for the year and as such had a look at free players I could sign in January on a free that would be 21 or over. I such player I found was Jorge Aponte who contract runs out on 01/01/34. Jorge is currently 20 years old but his birthday is on 01/10 so will be 21 before he signs. Unfortunately after obtaining a Work Permit the game told me that the deal had been cancelled as I had already hit my limit of U21s. What this indicates is that the game is implementing this rule on the day that the contract is signed instead of appling the rule to the date they will join. In my opinion the joining date should be checked on the signing day and cancelled if you are not within the limite but it should not be using one of your spaces or cancelling the deal if they will be 21 when they join. I do not have a save prior to this event but to recreate you can enter straight back into negotiations and repeat the process.

When one of my Scouts had completed their Intensive Language Course I click on him to see how his knowledge was developing as he is scouting North America (Central) I was suprised to see that he has built absolutely no lnowledge although every other scout covering alternative regions is. Even if there have not found any targets. When I checked the Scouting Clverage page I noticed that this region does not zoom in like every other region does. This indicates that there are no countries in this region unless I am missing something.

I am unsure if this is a bug but I have just had the Premier League Profit and Loss come through and it states that I have made a loss of £65.85million This did not ring true to me as I have made a loss of £10.5 mil this season and £17.1 mil last year so even if you added both together it wouldn't add up. I have payments to make on transfers as well as other lub debt and I have future transfers incoming but I do not think they should be included into the calculation. This game is transferred from FM23 btw. As I said I do not know if this is a bug or a fundamental misunderstanding of how this number is being calculated.

My club has a stadium capacity of 5,890 (5880 seated) but as I have started a new season I get a news report telling me we have sold 6,109 season tickets so far. This save game was transferred from fm23.
