Men's Team Average Attendances
Men's Squad Value over Time (As Estimated by Max)
Chester FC Men's First Team Squad
CA growth is since the first day of pre-season training - after the summer declines - or since the player joined the first team squad (e.g. transfer deadline day).
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.
Selected Young Players, AKA 'The Pipeline'
* Playdar finds with the Feedback Loop token activated. Max will receive future XP boosts if those players meet certain targets.

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.
