• Anka What?! (the club's music venue): Making a slight loss, but is making a name for itself as a place to see up-and-coming acts - and John Liner.
• Seal Studios: Generating 550-600k in revenue, profits go to the women's team.
• Chester Chompers: breaking even.

Coefficient Corner

At the start of 28/29, Saltney Town were ranked 185th in Europe with 9.5 coefficient points. That will rise to at least 24 next season, putting them approx 80th, just below Stuttgart, above Crystal Palace.

If Saltney don't pick up any more draws or wins, Wales will still go from 47th to 41st in the rankings.

Gibraltar is currently on track to stay in 40th place.

Prize Money Potential

Newport County: 1m on promotion from League Two

Saltney Town: Untold riches (Saltney get 2 million per win in the CL league stage. 1 win is in the bag. Max can decide on his share, but will probs go half with MD to repay his loan quicker.)

College 1975: Will earn more Europa League revenue. (Not as lucrative as the Champions League, obvs, but it could turn into a decent chunk. Halved with the Conspiracy.)

Miscellaneous:

• The attendance bonus (for winning at least one trophy every year) is 10%.
• Max owns one measly share in West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC. It's just ceremonial. Nothing to see here. West's cool new 5,000-seater EFL-compliant stadium is built! Plants are exploring their new home, cautiously growing. The bats are unbothered.
• 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. Eventually.
• One? refereeing conspiracy has been discovered. Briggy has hacked into two very boring phones.
• Max owns four Savile Row suits, a Bayern Munich scarf, a fast laptop slash fingerprint magnet, two framed photos featuring members of the Yalley family, a note written in spidery old-woman handwriting, a UEFA Pro Licence, and a wedding ring.
