There were a few teething problems particularly with old changes being included in the first pack and FM21 changes being improperly linked to FM20.

It should now be clearer
- The Data Update only contains 43 changes specifically made to the FM21 Update
- Player threads only contain comments and submissions related to FM21

If anything is not clear or appears not to be working please feel free to give any feedback and i'm sure I can improve things.

Well done mate - never an easy task 💪

I’ve placed him as a Director for Morocco - but the update does not show him linked to Morocco?

Can you change Darren Fletcher to a Youth Coach at WBA.

If possible, keep his player profile as well as he says he is open to playing again in the future.

Just looking at what their responsibilities are, Hitchen seems to have been promoted from Chief Scout to Director of Football. He's in charge of recruitment throughout the club.
Birch is more finance focused by the looks of things, but does sit on the transfer board with Levy, Hitchen and Rebecca Capelhorn. It's not an active and recruitable role in FM though. Same as Capelhorn, who runs the governance side of things.

Good thinking, I’ve submitted updated changes.

I think Birch and Hitchen have been allocated the wrong roles by @Mustang13297 in the latest updates.
