I am using many firefox extensions, but downloads also aren't working in chrome where I am using none. In both browsers, the downloads start, run for a few seconds, and then cancel. Chrome says there was a network error.

#51004 How to change a club's manager in the editor?
zulu9812
Moved them into the Scottish Third Division (moved Annan out)
Given them league history in the East Scotland Premier
Given them a GK coach, a Head Physio and an Assistant Manager
Given them a Managing Director.
One thing I can't seem to do is give them an actual manager. At first I removed the existing manager from the club in the editor and created a brand new person (Dougie Samuel) - but when I went to look at Spartans in-game it shows them as having no manager. So I went back to the drawing board, created a new data file that kept the original manager in, but changed his name. In-game, the club still showed as having no manager. Finally, I tried a game where I didn't load any custom data (i.e. vanilla FM) and Spartans still show as having no manager - even though in the editor, in the original data base, he is there. Does anyone know what's going on?
#44923 How to arrange a training camp?
zulu9812
That's interesting. At first I thought it might be hard-coded in the game - i.e. if the club starts the game doing training camps, then they'll keep opn doing it and that's the only way of getting them. But this casts new light on the situation.

Is there a trick to get them to do that? There doesn't seem to be the option to ask for it in a board meeting during pre-season.

#43888 Rangers FC Not A New Club
zulu9812
Are Rangers a new club because the business was liquidated and assets transferred into a new business entity? Perhaps. But then again, there's a strong argument that a football club is more than it's business registration with Company House.
Are Rangers a new club because the SFA gave them a brand new league registration in the Third Division, irrespective of the status of the business side of things? Again, perhaps. But think what would happen if a Scottish team (Rangers or Celtic) were to be offered a place in the English 4th tier. This would also involve a brand new league registration, but would that team then be a brand new club? I think probably not.
As far as the club name goes: the SFA would only issue a registration to The Rangers, not Rangers. I'm not sure why this was. Ostensibly it's because SFL didn't want to two teams with so similar names (Rangers and The Rangers) but the business had already been liquidated by this point. It's probably some obscure legal point but it's not like, say, Newton Heath becoming Manchester United (by the way, Man U still trace their history back to 1878, as Newton Heath).
I think a good comparison is Ferranti Thistle. Ferranti Thistle were a junior side who played in Edinburgh. When a spot opened in the Scottish Football League, Ferranti Thistle pursued that option. Ferranti were a works team, and there were strict SFL rules prohibiting corporate sponsorship through the team name. Additionally, the club's ground was not up to league specification. So a new name and a new stadium were required. Ferranti Thistle were re-formed as Meadowbank Thistle and moved to Meadowbank Stadium. Later still, that club were bought by new owners who changed the team name and moved them out to West Lothian, becoming Livingston FC. In both instances, you can argue that new clubs were created - different stadiums, different names, different fans, etc. I'm not sure you could say the same thing about Rangers, who have maintained everything within their power.
