Further complicating matters apparently the signatory to the contract on McGlinchey's side was "Michael McGlinchey Football Enterprises (2011) Ltd" a shell company set up in the Bahamas for tax reasons. Shareholders in the company are "Michael McGlinchey Holdings (1999) Ltd", "McGlinchey Media Properties Pty", "WeeMac Corporation (in liquidation)", "McGlinchinberger GmbH" and Sony Records.
The person Michael McGlinchey does not actually exist. The man you see playing football as "Michael McGlinchey" is actually the well known performance capture actor Andy Serkis wearing prosthetic make-up, who is an independent contractor to Michael McGlinchey Football Enterprises (2011) Ltd.
