Cork City FC was sold by its supporters trust to Dermot Usher, a businessman from Dublin, who has promised increased squad investment. The sale took place about a week ago after a vote by the membership of the trust. https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-41021414.html

This should also dissolve the affiliation with Preston North End (which was the game’s best attempt to reflect the Grovemoor situation).

 

Apparently the official sale just went through:

For all of the recent Cork City signings there is no end date listed in the press releases; I would assume these are one year contracts through November 2023 but that's only a guess.

Also Kerry FC is in the Irish First Division for the 2023 season; in the stock database they only have a U19 side. https://www.extratime.com/articles/29614/kerry-fc-to-join-the-first-division/

#687899 Bottom tier validates but is not playable in custom pyramid

I've been working on setting up a unified league pyramid for the UK and Ireland, and while it's still a work in progress it's working well except for one thing: The bottom tier, despite being marked as active and validating successfully, is not playable. The structure of the pyramid is as follows:

 

Premier League of the Isles relegates to Championship of the Isles

Championship of the Isles relegates to League One of the Isles A (England and Wales) and League One of the Isles B (Scotland and Ireland).

League One of the Isles A relegates to League Two of the Isles A (Wales and western local regions of England) and League Two of the Isles B (eastern local regions of England)

League One of the Isles B relegates to League Two of the Isles C (Ireland) and League Two of the Isles D (Scotland).

 

Everything I've listed to this point is working and playable. The tier that does not work is the one below it, which is a grouping named National Leagues of the Isles, each of which corresponds to one of the League Two divisions. They show up as the proper league in game, and the relegation and promotion to these leagues works in the simulation mode, but they're not selectable in the game and when you simulate the pyramid in the editor, there are no games played. I found some forum posts with similar issues, but they generally either did not resolve the problem or they were old enough that the attachments were deleted. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? FMF file is attached below.
