Rasnell,
The issue regarding the managers is TT 2027, and is covered over here:

The issue with the scouting drop-down appears to be resolved in my version of the game, so I'm going to mark this "claimed fixed" for now. If you still see this behavior after the upcoming patch, please let us know!
Thanks,
Steve
