Max hasn’t invested very much in Secret Sandra training boosts so far this season.

Players out on loan or free agent scams: Sunday Sowunmi (DC); Alfie Clitheroe (MC); Magnus Evergreen (D,DM,M etc); Sticky (GK); Banksy (GK).

Colin (2K) and Peter (1K) are paid separately for their coaching work. Cheb is paid much more than what’s listed here, but by Bayern Munich.

Miscellaneous:

The attendance bonus (for winning at least one trophy every year) is now 8%.

Max owes £0 to Mateo for the West Didsbury loan. Max owns one measly share in West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC. It’s just ceremonial. Nothing to see here. West has funding for a cool new 5,000-seater EFL-compliant stadium.

Max does not own Saltney Town FC. That is owned by Two Taps Limited, a company based in South Manchester. Ditto West. Ditto Tempsford FC.

Saltney owes Henri’s syndicate 125k for loans used to sign players.

Max owns four Savile Row suits, a Bayern Munich scarf, a laptop that’s showing its age, and two framed photos featuring members of the Yalley family.
