With all the suggestions for improvements flying around I've spent my evening trying to collate everything into a single thread. If your suggested hasn't been noted, please post it in the thread and I will add it to this list.
NB: I will be using the responses here to update a corresponding thread in the MOD forum that Ron has said he will keep tabs on.

From
RonManager's blog:
1) Tidy up the issues that have arisen from the reload. e.g. Scouts and update timing.
2) To complete some tasks outstanding relating to the IAG cup and the live feed.
3) To develop the new Inter cup competition which will commence at the start of next season. This will be our version of the Champions league and Johnson's paint trophy all rolled into one!
4) To develop a system where in the closed season, clubs can be moved to other leagues. This is important to IAG. Not only does it allow managers to move their club to a different league, it allows us to manage the leagues and maintain leagues that are more populated with real managers. One of the big problems we faced in the last version of IAG was too many leagues with too few real managers. This will allow the number of leagues to ebb and flow as demand changes. The finer details will become clearer later, but feature is necessary to maintain a vibrant game, and be assured that if used to reduce the number of leagues, that will be done with consideration for those effected.
