Hi, I might be alone in this but I find that FM's use of stupidly long team names - CF UD SAD Atletico Industrial Real de Bongo Bongo or whatever - distracting. I also don't really like nicknames, as they show up in the game and half the time you have no idea what team they refer to. I've kind of got a thing against accents, macrons, full stops etc in names as well - I want them gone.

So, aside from going into the Editor app and changing every single instance of my bugbears, which would take years, is there any way to open the database in a spreadsheet or app that would let me replace the terms wholesale, and saving it as an editor file to finish off in the Editor?

Solutions welcome.

You're asking for something which can't reasonably exist, I'm afraid. My suggestion is that you learn to live with them, or get cracking and change everything that you don't like, bit by bit...
