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 is building 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 has fully repaid Henri’s syndicate, whose investors more than doubled their money.

Max owns four Savile Row suits, a Bayern Munich scarf, a top-of-the-line new laptop, two framed photos featuring members of the Yalley family, and a note written in spidery old-woman handwriting.
