Update v0.5.2 - Transfer System Improvements
Transfer System Changes:
Significant improved logic engine that determines the Value and Wage Demand of players.
Initial value of players purchased by users is now always equal to exactly 75% of the amount paid for the player
35 year old players who will retire at the end of the season, will not have any wages projected to be paid to them beyond the end of the current season
Until end of the current season, any players who are now worth less as a result of the changes made can be sold for their previous value
Academy player purchase prices now start from £250M rather than £100M
Other Changes and Bug Fixes:
Base TV Rights are now included as being part of projected finances (note: if they are not earned then they are still not paid)
The Silver Legends Cup competition qualification club reputation range was changed from 40 to 50 to intead be from 35 to 50 (in turn this means that the Bronze Legends Cup changed from 0 to 40 to instead be from 0 to 35)
New 'Ping Speed' widget on the Settings layout (will assist a lot with identifying whether users technical issues are related temporary issues with their internet connection). Note: currently not included as part of the default layout
Various macOS mojave fixes

Many updates to the library of pre-match tips
15 year old Youth Players are now known throughout the client as being Academy Players (to avoid potential confusion between 15 year old Youth Players who cannot play in Youth competitions that are for players aged between 16 and 21 years old)

All saved layouts removed due to compatibility issues surrounding the many changed/removed/added widgets/layouts/tabs/etc throughout the game client
Update v0.5.0a [2018-08-07]
Transfer Budget Removed from the game as a concept
To buy a player you must have enough current bank balance to afford the buy price & signing fee, and your projected bank balance must also be able to cover the incoming players wages

Fixed Days Available on Shortlisted Available Players widget on home layout not working correctly for some players
Update v0.5.0b [2018-08-08]
Fixed a bug that some players wages or values could be calculated incorrectly (too high). Particularly impacted many Free Agent players. Any users who were impacted by this (primarily via signing Free Agent players whose value subsequently decreased after they purchased them) have been reimbursed an amount equal to the loss in negative value difference plus the difference in wages that are also too high for the current season due to the values being too high at the time these players were purchased. Any impacted users will be able to see the amount they have been credited back in their Finances > Transaction tab with the record listed as being of type ADJUSTMENT. The players you own that have been significantly impacted by this can relatively easily spotted out as being the players who you've purchased during this month and whose wage demand for next season is significantly higher than their wage demand for the current season. The few Academy that have been purchased were also significantly impacted by this same issue and those users have also been reimbursed the value differences.
Fixed a bug that could result in some player names having the ? character appear in them in place of another character
Renamed any players already in the game that contained a ? character in their name, to have a new name of the same nationality
Fixed a bug that made it possible for some players monthly renewal wages to be slightly below the minimum monthly wages of £30k
