Copy the game onto another disk. Files are going to be changed, so don't use the original. Boot up the copied disk normally, clicking on the 'FD II' and 'BOOT.BAS' icons as they appear.
Enter the game normally. When it's up and running, select the "QUIT" option from the Main selection of the pull down menu. When the CLI window has appeared and is ready for input, type "list" to list the 'FOOT.BAS' part of the game.

In line 1514 making AI equal 5,000,000 provides $5M starting budget; this can be changed to suit, however Line 2547 making RA=INT(AI/5000) stops the directors from withdrawing too much cash every week.
Click on the "close window" icon for the window containing the program text, and save the amended program file by typing: save "FOOT.BAS".
To run the amended disk, boot up the disk normally, by clicking on the "FD II" icon. When the "BOOT.BAS" icon is clicked, the message "BAD FILE MODE" will appear. Accept this by clicking on the OK box. Close the CLI window containing the few lines of text, by clicking on the close window icon.
Type "load". A message box appears prompting for the name of the program to load. Using the 'Left' mouse, click on the text bar and type: FOOT.BAS
When the OK message appears, type "RUN". The program should now start as it normally would but with plenty of money to spend.
On the menu selection, hold down 'Ctrl' and 'C' to interrupt the program. Now enter "AI=AI+500000" and press 'Return'. Now type "CONT" and press 'Return'. This adds 500,000 credits to your current amount.
