Magdalene Buchanan At It Again
by Suzanna Lovell, financial editor
Eccentric millionnaire Magdalene Buchanan has reportedly purchased a second sports club. This time, it is located in faraway Ouna, in the little-known Ounaian National League (ONL). The Trawadea Knights are involved in the deal, a club that is open to start collaborating with Maynard AFC, the Ko-orenite Top League club already owned by Buchanan. The ONL's season has gotten underway just days after the takeover, and the Knights have started off well with a 2-0 win, at home, in front of a little over 1500.
Maynard AFC general manager Daniel Salford has welcomed the deal, saying that the Knights are a great addition, one of the better run teams in the ONL, and that both teams are in for a mutually beneficial relationship. Salford could not confirm whether Maynard players are already on their way to Trawadea in order to bolster the club's domestic performances. Buchanan herself commented on the transaction that "Trawadea are a great addition to the Maynard family" and that "immediate upgrades for both teams are on the way", but did not go into the money involved in the deal. Buchanan confirmed that no players would be moved from Ko-oren to Ouna or vice versa until staff have gotten a better look at both teams.
Whatever the outcome of the relationship, it cannot hurt Maynard AFC. The club finished in 12th in both of the last two seasons of the KTL, is in no financial problems but is struggling athletically.
Trawadea Knights: an Overview
by Emma Cheberell, sports editor
First of all, let me open by saying that it is hard to find much data on the fledgling Ounaian National League. There are only six teams in the league, and of those, the Knights seem to be middle of the road. They are, however, one of the larger crowd attractors in the ONL, and can attract talent based on that. Currently, there is some talent on the team that might be interesting to Maynard AFC in the future. Of the current starters, defenders Chipo and Goduka would be most likely to come to Ko-oren in the future. On the bench, there are numerous youngsters that could head this way in the future. Ouna is sitting on a few unpolished gems, among which are Lindas, Hungard, and Simba, on the Knights only.
It is hard to decide what Maynard's best course of action is, going forward: is Buchanan there to help the Knights more than Maynard, will she consider the teams separately from one another, or will she actively push both clubs closer together in sharing players?
So far, Buchanan has left the current power structure intact. Head coach Jan Elbers is given some time to showcase his current team, before any hypothetical changes are made all the way from Atlantian Oceania.

Ouna update: Knights lose
The Trawadea Knights have now tasted defeat as well as victory. It is not a sweet taste, though Buchanan will surely see a silver lining to the dark grey rain cloud, in that the attendance numbers are still going up. Buchanan's choice to not interfere with the team starting day one has increased local trust in the new ownership and they flock to their local stadium in droves. That means that the big reward, playing in the national team's stadium for nearly all home matches, is still on the table. In fact, it is only getting more likely.
While the Maynard AFC owner is taking a hands-off approach for now, and will introduce trades between Maynard and Trawadea later, some news from the Ounaian National League shows that things can go differently as well. Investors from Qusmo are looking to cash in on short term gains brought in by these club takeovers. In fact, they are so sure that the league will be worth more that they are only looking for a one-year deal to sponsor the league.
Even then, the results were not as hoped: after a 2-0 win, things regressed back to the mean with a 2-1 loss, at home, versus Muhanmaga Magic. Coach Jan Elbers was not happy with the display, and replaced some of the higher paid, yet underperforming players - but that looks to be a decision for this week only. At the half, 0-2 down, Lungelo Zamani was taken off for Rudo, and the brotherly duo in midfield was broken up for the first time this season. If the energy put in by Lungelo stays this way, it is not unthinkable that the brothers will not see the field together for the rest of the year, though. Fokazi was replaced by Hungard in the first look at the latter's tall ceiling. Hungard made no mistake and scored the Knights' single goal of the day, from a Susi corner kick.

Trawadea Knights stronger than ever
We have a new summer fad in Maynard, and the trend has been spotted in other cities as well. With Maynard AFC's colours on a decline because of poor results, the Trawadea Knights' traditional Red and Green are starting to become more visible. While Buchanan is mocked in local media for her poor handling of Maynard AFC, her other team is enjoying record popularity - and it looks like most people don't know both teams are owned by the same person. For the record: we're loving the red-green combo, and we love seeing it around town.
The official fanclub of Maynard AFC has said that they are not against people wearing the colours, but they do ask fans to wear the team's normal green and more green to training sessions and matches - even in protest against Buchanan.
On the other side of the globe, the Trawadea Knights are in for an amazing season: with a 3-0 victory (the second straight 3-0 win), they are in first place with the Dynamos and Lions two points behind them. Nothing is decided yet, the season will last for 16 more rounds, but it's a beautiful sight this early in the season. For those illegally streaming Knights games for now (read the below note as well!), prepare yourselves for a new 'home' experience, as the Knights might play some games in the far larger national stadium of Ouna.
Selfie contest: the most creative selfie with you in Knights colours will be awarded full-access Maynard training camp tickets + tickets to three Maynard home games!
Buchanan explores free Knights streaming
Her primary team isn't doing so hot, but Magdalene Buchanan has found a new way to make the news in a positive way - and that's in the nick of time. She is reportedly in talks with the Ounaian league's management to offer free streams of Knights games within Ko-oren. She is not considering the same for Maynard AFC, however.
