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

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
Update v0.5.0c [2018-08-13]

Update v0.5.0d [2018-08-15]
