Resources
I still feel like some attention is needed to help have some sort of reasoning behind resources. As it would appear some researchers are going off total wealth available and others are going from how much of that wealth a person would actually use towards the club. From what I remember, depending on the mixture of Ambition and Business would help determine just how much an owner would invest into a club, unsure if that's changed.
A good example of this is Stan Kroenke, while he's a multi-billionare he doesn't invest heavily into Arsenal, so the data on this looks right. His investments are split between different projects, which I feel like is represented well within the data as much as it can be. So, while Shahid Khan is super wealthy, similar to Kroenke his wealth is split between Fulham, an NFL franchise and a wrestling promotion.
While Man U's Glazers data doesn't look correct and should probably be similar to Kroenke. Todd Boehly at Chelsea could be a similar case, he's already looking for extra investment for future transfer budgets, or perhaps the other members of the consortium should have resource information added?
Further on the Glazers, every member of the family has a similar resource rating even though it is a shared wealth. This could lead to issues in longterm games where the Glazers have left Man U and individually takeover different clubs. The game will think they have an individual wealth pool, when in truth they don't. Do they all have equal access to this money or is one member of the famiy the key stakeholder? Or perhaps they all have a different percent of the pot?
Ambition
Wolves' owner should probably have a value added for patience and interference, given the last few years high turnover of managers. Is the Wolves owner also the most ambitious owner in the Premier League?
Based on my understanding that ambition has a deciding factor in how Owners operate in-game, it's a little disappointing to see random seed entries. It's also strange that there's only 1 owner in the entire league that has an ambition less than 10. Are the Glazers ambitious, do they really want to push Man U to the next level towards being the greatest football club? Or are they happy for things to tickalong and treat the club as a business?
I appreciate that successful people are often ambitious and determined, yet I feel these values are perhaps slightly too top heavy? Is John Henry the most ambitous (19) and determined (19) owner in the Premier League?
I've included Mike Ashley for my own comparison, but it might help others understand where I'm coming from too, as that was Mike Ashley's motive.
Does the game use the Judging Staff Ability when Owners hire a manager? If so, there's a lot of '0' random seeds for this.
There's also some strangely high working with youngsters rating dotted amongst owners. Is this a hangover from how the game used to determine if an owner had a philosphy towards producing young players?
The Forest ownership is a bit of a complex issue, and something which I'm looking at over the next research period.
The game has Socrates Kominakis as Owner, even though he is the minority owner, as the majority owner, Evangelos Marinakis, owns Olympiacos in Greece. We don't have the same board or ownership structure (so to speak), however, Marinakis and his son are the visible owners of Forest, with Kominakis being in Greece a fair amount.
Its difficult, as Marinakis is ambitious and has said that he wants to bring Forest back to being a very competitive team in the PL (something which has been reflected by our spending), but, I can't use him as the benchmark, despite everything being that way.

Thanks @hasanrocksworld and @robterrace - I will attend to that duplicate of Theo Avery - apologies for that; it will be fixed for a future update.
Thanks Pete.
It will be the one without the second nationality.

Duplicate entries for Theo Avery in Forest U18s and Lewis Barker is missing from the U23s as well as George Hemmings and Evan Boulter from the U18s
Last information I had was that Lewis Barker left and went to Grantham Town on a free in 2022. I'll double check that.
George Hemmings is on my list of players to sort out, and, as far as I'm aware, Evan Boulter is 15, so won't be added into the game this time round.
The Theo Avery one is strange, he appears twice in the DB, and, as one has a random DOB, it hasn't been picked up as a duplicate. I'll arrange to get that one sorted. @Pete Sottrel

Still none the wiser as to whether Odegaard's transfer instalments is a graphical glitch or if it has a real financial impact.
You were told that its something that is under investigation by the coding team, and that a solution will be given. At this point in time, it is a glitch, and, whilst it may have an impact on things in the immediate future, it will also be sorted ASAP.

Jacob Murphy is transferlisted at the start of the game, but he gets a fair playingtime irl. And the boardexpectation is to high. And Gordon should have higher workrate. And many players in Liverpool and Manure overrated as always🤦♂️
1 hour ago, craiigman said:John McGinn transfer listed at the start of the game as club do not have a role for him. He's the club captain and very important player for Emery/Villa
The transfer listing of players isn't controlled by the game really, its more a reputation type thing. Tweaks will be made by the relevant members of the research team.
As for the last part of your comment @MasterFolke, give examples. Just throwing a generic 'they're overrated as always', doesn't give the research team any sort of clue what you're on about. There may be one researcher for each club, but, this season especially, its been a bit of a team effort from us all to get things sorted.

Thanks @Lord Smart - it should be part of the board vision, yes.
I'll use the answer I posted elsewhere to shell this out a bit Pete.
I agree on the board vision, however, a timescale, as such, hasn't been completely set yet.
Its a difficult one. Whilst the redevelopment has been approved, I know that normal fashion for FM is for it not to be entered until theres specific dates or full plans put forward.
At this point in time, I know the intention of the club is for them to start ASAP, looking at the end of the current season, however, that hinges on a replacement for the Boat Clubs on Trentside being completed.
As far as I'm aware (and I'm checking planning stuff as well as other things pretty much on a daily basis), nothing has been agreed on a timescale for the Boat House development. As soon as I see something on that, then I'll be able to get the redevelopment put in, even if its just with a tentative outline of things.

Simon Murphy u-turned on his decision to move to Forest, and has instead been appointed Lead Performance Physio at Arsenal.

Thats already been picked up, and should be sorted from what I've seen from the Wolves researcher.

Not touched his height since he came across (Been watching other things with him), I've got him at 185cm, so 184 seems about right.
