For save games to be transferable from one version to another we will need to be able to add/remove leagues and their players from within a save. What I mean is I play with all leagues and players loaded as it helps to make transfer prices etc more realistic imo. But if I transfer to a new fm and they have lost the license foe 5 leagues and replaced with another 5 then I would habe a smaller database of teams/players and it would lose some of the realism.

I have worked the issue out. So when my scouting department is running out of scouting budget they are continuing to scout causing a negative balance on scouting budget. Then on new budget day that negative scouting budget is being taken away from my transfer budget. At the same time I am being awared my new scouting budget so it looks like I have randomly got a negative transfer budget. @Kyle Brown@Zachary Whyte why do my scouts keep scouting when they have run out of budget?

Started a new save and it has happened at the end of the first season again. I had just over £2k transfer budget and used to my wage budget to buy a player so it went up to £5.72k. New scouting budget day and I have -£49.9k @Kyle Brown@Zachary Whyte what is causing this? There is no point playing the game as it stands as I am constantly set back for no reason.

I have uploaded 2 new files which should help your analysis. @Kyle Brown @Zachary Whyte ''Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget - v2' - This file shows on 19th May I have £764 in my transfer budget. ''Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget - v3' - This file shows that on 20th May 2029 the date I get my new scouting budget I have - £584,035 in my transfer budget. I have not selected a scouting package either so this is not a factor. Is there any updates on what could be causing this? I like a challenge but I am having to sell a star player before I can sign anybody each year and I also miss out on all the good free transfer opportunities.

@Kyle Brown it has happened again a season later anyway so I have uploaded the file. It is called 'Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget

Is it possible it could be loyalty bonuses and agent fees for renewing player contracts after the budget came out?

@bebgiungi no i did not. They dont always report outcomes though as they may be waiting for similar cases so they can identify the cause.

@Kyle BrownThanks for the clarification.

@MaviarabMy board have no strong opinions on anything tbh just want me to grow reputation and stay within the wage budget.

As the title says I am trying to get an ui23 for my Kings Lynn side who I have got into div2 so far. All my board ever say is ' We don't believe that the creation of an u23 squad is a good idea at this time' No option to discuss further and no idea what they require before they think it is a good idea.

@Michael Sant He is on a part time contract. He is also 20 what you are seeing is that he has been made available to play for the U18's. File uploaded called "Gary James - Offer Issue"

@Kyle BrownI don't have a new save as the off season saved over all of my backups. I did post another issue early on 12th September with the save file 'Gary James - Home Grown Issue' The save file is in October in Game and the punishment occurs at the end of the season when FFP is calculated.

@Kyle Brown We now have the oppossite issue as well a player in my club who has earned a Work permit after arriving but is not earning Home Grown status Eligibility days even though he is only 18. I only noticed as i was checking whether to loan him out on deadline day or to keep him to become Home Grown. Is there a logical reason for him not earning it as it seems like a bug to me.

I would like to debunk some of the myths around Commercial links. Is there any difference on income dependant on country / reputation of the feeder club? Does your club reputation affect this? Do you only earn extra if you sign a player from their country or is that an extra boost? I normally like to pick a feeder club dependant on their youth recruitment and facilities also considering if I have knowledge of that country. I am under the impression that the merchandising tag is not related to reputation but more of a risk box that says yes they earn more money from signings and an extra boost if they are from their country / region. Thoughts guys.

@Kyle Brownits ok no stress. My club is too poor for me to spend enough to break any FFP anyway. My board would just block it lol
