Bakary Sako has left Wolves after his contract expired. Various Premier League teams are rumoured to be interested in him but nothing has materialized for the free agent.

The question is, why are people approving rumours instead of official sites, like BBC, Sky Sports, or the team's own OS?
Mistakes will be made but if the submission page is asking for a source, just look at it before accepting the transfer. Something like "Here Is The City" isn't a reliable source, as they publish tons of rumours.

As today is July 1st, when can we expect players out of contract as of today to be free agents in the game?

Well Dom is of Nigerian descent, and his father played for the national team.
Since FM is a simulation game, he might decide to play for Nigeria instead of England, and unless he gets capped by the English national team in real life, I can see him playing for Nigeria in most saves of FM.

Jed Wallace's Match Highest Earner clause has carried over from Portsmouth, and is unrealistic now that he's at Wolves.

You've put Bromley as a conference north side when in fact they are a conference South side


For practical reasons, as only one team has been relegated from the Conference onto the Conference South.
Bromley are now in the Conference Premier so it doesn't matter where they came from anymore.

Not sure if the Conference North/South have been updated but I'm gonna explain them anyway:

Conference Premier -

Relegated to Conference North:
Bromley > Alfreton Town
Barrow > AFC Telford United
Guiseley > Nuneaton Town

Promoted to Conference North:
FC United of Manchester > Colwyn Bay
Curzon Ashton > Leamington
Corby Town > Hyde

Relegated to Conference South:
Boreham Wood > Dartford

Transferred from North to South:
Oxford City > Salisbury City (now dissolved)

Promoted to Conference South:
Maidstone United > Farnborough
Margate > Staines Town
Truro City completes the 22.

I hope this wasn't too complicated. Here's the link to the Conference website for reference.

Hey guys, just wondering if I could have this Wolves kit changed up a bit.

http://i42.tinypic.com/219v0w7.png

Instead of turquoise, I'd like the kit to be white. The three leaping wolves in black, the sponsor in black, and rectangle detail in gold, with the Nike logo in black.
If possible, I'd like a little gold on the end of the sleeve, like a hoop.

Thanks in advance. I hope it's not much trouble.
Cheers.

So I'm back at it, this time with Boston United. I had a save and was in League Two with them but it got corrupted so I started over.

Currently sitting in 7th place, just 1 point off the play-off places, in late January.

Jake Kempton (ST) from Wolves (on loan) has been good, while Mike Norton (ST, also on loan) from FC United has gotten me some valuable points.

James Lawrie (MR) from Altrincham is always a very good player in these low leagues.

I signed French center back Cédric Abraham on a free and he's been very solid at the back, and scored some important goals for us.

I also signed Lee Harper as a goalkeeper and despite his age, 41, he's been reliable between the sticks.

Something similar, with the Kirkstall Brewery logo in the middle, including the decorations.
I'd also like some small white roses of York on the side, but if you think it looks too messy then don't worry.

Cheers.

Hello there everyone.

So I have a request for a fantasy logo.
I have recently started a football team with some mates, called Kirkstall International FC -
I was wondering if I could have something made. Not too sure what it is exactly that I want but here are some details:
  • The colours will be sky blue and black.
  • I'd like the white rose of York on the badge, preferably on both sides of the badge.
  • An old football, such on the red badge a few posts above.
  • The Kirkstall Brewery logo, since that's where I live.
  • I would love to have the three owls on it, such as on the Coat of Arms of Leeds
  • Kirkstall International FC somewhere on the badge, or under it
  • Finally, Est. 2014, somewhere on the badge, or under it.
I understand that this might be difficult, but if someone is willing to give it a go, I would be really grateful.
Cheers.

I didn't use it for much though!
And Bangor's close to Old Colwyn so I figured I'd make them into my feeder club.
Frank Sinclair I have a soft spot for, since he's a good manager (not such a good player anymore)

Here's an update:

Colwyn Bay 0 - 0 Rotherham United

So my second game of pre-season with Colwyn Bay was against Rotherham United.

Before the game, I managed to sell John McKenna to Ashton United, and sent various other players on loan to lower league clubs.

Rotherham United are an okay League One side, but I always back my players to do well.

I started with a simple 4-4-2 with an attacking mentality. The game progressed and both teams seemed keen to keep possession of the ball without threatening much. Rotherham's best chance of the first half was a corner, from which Árnason hit the top of the bar. Matty McNeil seems, as of now, a great signing. He was constantly the last man in defense but his sliding tackles were spot on throughout the first half.

At half time, I told my lads to keep going, and my strikers that I was disappointed with their finishing, which caused the rest of the team to get angry. Not great, but we had to keep going. I made some substitutions to give others a run-out and to try and see what other options I had.

Second half started, and McNeil was substituted after a great first half which tired him out. His replacement, Danny Meadowcroft, did just as well as Rotherham tried to take the lead early on.

The turning point of the game was vice-captain Jeff Whitley's injury, which threw me into turmoil since I had no more midfielders. Frank Sinclair replaced him, and took the armband. He played in front of defense as a halfback, which is a position he's not familiar with.
With ten minutes remaining, my chances of getting a result were made even slimmer when captain Frank Sinclair was sent off after making a horrendous tackle on Rotherham's Robert Milsom.

I switched to a 3-5-1 formation to try and keep possession for the last few minutes, but then target man Jon Macken was forced off by injury in the 85th minute. I switched to a narrow formation and played a couple of players out of position, and thankfully Rotherham's long throws weren't enough to defeat my brave Seagulls!
