On a save where I am managing Concord Rangers in the Vanarama South, my entire staff and most of my players retired on the same day.
On in-game day June 25th, 2023, my in-game inbox was flooded with retirement announcement emails. Turns out seventeen of my players (most newly signed, at least one who had been on the team the previous season) decided to end their careers. Most of the players were in their 20s. My entire staff, including U18s and U21s, also retired. And now when I look at the staff screen, it shows 0/0 allowed staff members for each position.
It seems this save is bricked, and I’m a little leery of starting a new one for the anxiety of a similar event happening. I tried loading before the retirements occurred, but I advanced to the 25th and the same thing happened.

I found a thread on the same issue posted in April to the FM 22 bug tracker. It seems this still exists in FM 23. Per the post in the thread from April, is this still tied to adding/removing leagues (I did do this after I started the save). If I start a new save without changing the playable leagues, should I be safe?
Thank you.
