Just thought I'd add this post for FM24.
Cannot believe this is still being ignored......
It has frustrated the hell out of me for years....
Plus ça change and all that :/

Of all the bugs encountered in the Football Manager series, this one is by far the most persistent and ridiculous. A game as advanced as this, that gets significant overhauls on an annual basis (and multiple patches in-between), still cannot handle the seemingly simple matter of having resizable columns that actually work. It's just mind-boggling. Yeah, the match engine's great and the database is amazing and so on but can SI please just fix the sodding interface? FM24 was supposed to be "the most complete edition in the series' history", yet still struggles with something this basic.
Honestly, if the entire sales pitch for FM25 was just "WE FIXED THE COLUMN RESIZING PROBLEM!!" I would buy it without a moment's hesitation

Yeah we're aware of this one and have been trying to find a solution but it's proving tricky. We'll do our best to resolve it when we can.
Has there been any joy in fixing this? Been a bug for a few versions now. Similarly the nonsense with "auto-size" thinking the screen is about twice as wide as it actually is and shoving half your columns out of view.

Fingers crossed this is fixed for the next patch!

@Zachary Whyte A little extra info that may or may not be helpful with this bug - it seems the column only vanishes the next time you start the game after loading a custom skin. I removed the customs skins I had while the game wasn't running, deleted my cache as per the guide, started the game and loaded a save and saw that the Rec column was back, put a custom skin back into the skins folder and loaded it, and the column was still there. The next time I booted FM up it had gone. Obviously the solution here is never close FM

I'm noticing messed up player ratings, too. For me, only two of my defensive players (i.e. full backs, centre backs, defensive mids) averaged over 7.0 for the season, despite us winning the league and finishing with the second lowest GA, just 8 behind City. I remember inaccurate DM ratings being an issue in FM23 but I thought it was patched out eventually.
Defensive players highlighted below, and the distribution is clear.

Hi @Sandy Tait
Can you please upload a save file showing this, as we are unable to reproduce this internally, thank you.
Hi Zach. I've uploaded the save "Sandy Tait - Tottenham.fm" but as I say it's happening in every career so I don't think it's anything to do with the saves.

For those who are seeing this can we please ask if you are using any custom files/skin?
Also, can you please upload your save file, you can see how in the link below.
I am using a custom skin but it's also happening with the default skin. I've tried deleting my cache per the guide but the issue persists. Happens across all my save files, both new ones and ones imported from FM23, and across all skins.

Vanished from mine, too! Thought maybe it was my custom views, or the skin I'm using, but switched to the default skin and checked the default views and it's gone from all of them.

Update: I now have the rest of the team complaining that I didn't let Frendrup leave, when he's gone out on loan with a mandatory future purchase!

We believe we've fixed this in one of our past updates now, but do let us know if you spot any further instances.
Looks to still be there.

Got this under review now, thank you.
Looks like this problem is still there, though the wording is slightly different.

I'm going to guess someone missed a zero when putting Lo Celso's salary in?

In relation to Jermain Defoe and Yaya Touré, there's also this...

Going to be a tough one to replicate as we need a wider range of saves, but we've taken a note and if we spot it during internal testing we'll be sure to get to the bottom of it - thank you for flagging it.
Further info: I've gone back to autosave from 12th June 2025, which is before I spotted the player, and he doesn't appear in the database at all! Wondered if it might be something to do with leagues being added/removed, or the season refresh date, so holidayed until 30th June and lo and behold he's there, as a free agent who's at the club but not appearing the team list - search for him and you'll find him though.
Also, "a wider range of saves" uploaded:
"Journeyman - Dinamo (v03)" - Player not at club and does not appear to be in database
"Journeyman - Dinamo (v02)" - Player at club but has no contract and is not showing in the team list; can be searched for
"Journeyman - Dinamo" - Player is at club, still has no contract (two offered), and appears in team list twice
Hope these are of use!

Update: using the in-game editor to move him to my club, then dropping him to the reserves and promoting him straight back to the first team seems to fix both the contract issue and the multiple listings on the team list, though it does make his career history look a bit screwy (three entries for the same club during the same season) but assuming this doesn't cause any further issues it's a workable fix.

Removing Cache and preferences does not solve this issue. A fix should be published.
We had this issue on FM21. And now happening again! Really dissappointing to see SI can not fix this issue.
Frustrating to see the same old bug still there.

Just to add that this issue is still present in the release version.
My Ajax side - zero visible partnerships.
The AI's PSV side - ALL the partnerships! o.o

I'm having the same problem, as well as not getting any emails about the U18 training and their individual training defaulting to being controlled by the U18 manager, even though both responsibilities are ticked for me. It's happened in the beta and the full release, both times with Tottenham. My two Ajax games (beta and full) worked fine.

Hey there @Sandy Tait
Do you have a save game we can take a look at, please?
Details here:
Cheers,

Hi Luke. Yes mate, uploaded as "Sandy Tait - Tottenham (Beta)". Cheers

I am now seeing partnerships develop after a full season so it seems they're just much slower than in FM21. Though that doesn't explain why PEH-Ndombele were the only pair to start the game with a partnership, or why Reguilón-Thuram developed in just a dozen matches when everyone else took 40+ matches.
0 -
Oh ok, that makes sense then. Cheers for the response

Small update on this issue - I signed Marcus Thuram in January, we're now in mid April, and after a mere dozen games playing ahead of Sergi Reguilón on the left flank they have a strong partnership. Dele and Kane, meanwhile, still don't have any visible partnership link after playing all of this season (30+ games) in adjacent positions together (and 200+ games before that in real life xD).
Thuram-Reguilón is the only partnership that's developed so far this season.

Tell us something we don't know?
Not wanting to be unkind or rude, but this is just more stating the obvious. Obviously previous fixes haven't worked, and obviously something more substantial is needed. This has been an issue for a decade or, to put it another, half the existence of the Football Manager franchise (not including the CM days here, clearly). If a bug is present for that long without being fixed, I can't help but seriously question the actual interest the team has in fixing it. Not expecting you to come back with an exact timeframe, I'm just hoping you can convince us that progress is being made and that maybe when FM25 comes out we won't be talking about this yet again.
