In NUTMEG!, merchandise remains an integral part of maintaining a healthy cash flow and building a strong football club.

Don’t be a mug: purchase scarves, shirts, coasters, pennants, and more and let the money roll in… hopefully. 🤞

Money, money, money...

In NUTMEG!, you'll need to carefully manage your team's bank balance.

Sell merch to fill the coffers, then sign new players, bolster your backroom staff, or sign off on a new stadium development!

Bigger stands = bigger income, but do you have the fans to make it worthwhile?
