for all who wants help us with update

It's a nice idea, even if there were: Czechoslovakia, USSR, Yugoslavia, West and East Germany, not: Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia & Czech Rep., Germany, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, and somewhere I "forgot". Far Oer Islands too wasn't UEFA member before EQ 1991, and something about Israel.

Hi Vardamir, a "fix" to the issue with not-existing leagues is clarified at the beginning of the thread.
I copy-paste it here below again:

Since back to 1984 some Swos leagues did not exist (Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Ukraine, etc.), the following "changes" could be done (the exact meaning of #EMPTY is provided below):

- Belarus 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Croatia 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Latvia 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Lituania 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Slovenia 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Slovakia 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Ukraine 96/97 --> #EMPTY
- Russia 96/97 --> USSR 83/84
- Czech 96/97 --> Czechoslovakia 83/84
- Estonia 96/97 --> East Germany 83/84

Since it is not possible to remove slots allocated to leagues, #EMPTY league means the following:
- The name of the league is replaced with something like "######"; so in Career is easy to see that the league actually "does not exist"
- All the teams are replaced with a team named "X" with home/away kits all grey
- All the players are replaced with a player named "X" with all skils equal to 0
- All the coaches are replaced with a coach named "X"
- The league must not be considered for qualifications to the three european cups, the first year ( www.swoes.info/champions_league_info/ ) as well as all the following years in a Career (how it works: www.swoes.info/teams_qualifies/ )

So, basically "EMPTY" leagues will be played by anonymous "X" teams with awful anonymous "X" players without affecting any european cups. Everything would still work fine since the total number of "real" european leagues would be 43 - 7 = 36, more than enough to get the 32 teams needed for the Cup-Winners Cup

I try concretely this approach and the game runs without any crash through many career seasons.

Good work.
