It says in fmrte that the start date is 01/01/1900 and the end date is 01/01/1900 , the appeal date is the exact same too... when i remove the figures it says the embargo has been lifted in game but when i go to buy a player it says it's still in place and the figures have appeared back in fmrte again... and yes i have pressed the save button numberous times, please can someone help me out here , it takes all the fun out of the game

Did you save then restart the software?

Don't set the year as 1900. It doesn't work in the game. Set it to expire on the current in-game date, save, and then on a new in-game date, it will disappear. Done it successfully many times (most recently Barcelona on FM14 a few months ago). Don't know why FMRTE chooses the year 1900 on embargo, clearing unhappiness, etc. when it doesn't work.
