I’m now convinced the whole Fake Mac thing was a publicity stunt.
What better way to get the band much needed attention than their manager putting a fake band together? Cliff had other business interests, so maybe he wanted to unload Fleetwood Mac because it took up too much time while the band knew being based in the United States was key to their long term viability.

This thread has some more takes on the supposedly "fake" Mac including interviews with Elmer Gantry and Kirby. http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/ledge/sh...ad.php?t=59881 This article quotes Elmer Gantry's recollections of the set-up of the supposedly "fake" Mac https://pleasekillme.com/fakewood-mac/ In a 2017 BBC Radio interview, Gantry and Gregory confirmed that they were indeed told by Davis that they were forming the new Fleetwood Mac. But they alleged that Fleetwood’s involvement in the project went much further than what Fleetwood described in his autobiography. Gantry said, “Mick Fleetwood came to our house and we talked through the new band, and it all seemed fine. Mick said, well, I can’t actually come and rehearse with you, it was fairly imminent going to America to tour, but if you get [a temporary] drummer, I’ll join you for the tour.” He added that he had recently seen “court papers from the 1970s” in which Fleetwood testified that this meeting had taken place. Gregory said that he and Gantry had played Little Feat’s ‘Dixie Chicken’ to Fleetwood as an example of the type of music they liked, and that Fleetwood gave his approval to the set list of Fleetwood Mac numbers they had chosen. [That interview can be acccessed here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p04z7cg6} If Elmer Gantry had indeed seen “court papers from the 1970s” in which Mick, presumably under oath, had confirmed this, this would presumably give him licence to talk about the whole shenanigans openly.
