I woke up and immediately turned Sky Sports News and my laptop on. I decided to ask one of my scouts, Chris Kinnear, to compile me a report on Frank Simek of Sheffield Wednesday. He replied saying that he would have it to me by the end of the day. I didn
’t have time to do any scouting of my own because Steve Morgan, the club's chairman, called me up and told me to get down to Molineux now because there was a press conference.
I got dressed and made my way to Molineux. I arrived at the ground, to be greeted by Steve and I was took into a room packed full of reporters. I sat down and took a sip of the glass of water sat in front of me. The questions began to fly in.
"Hello, this is Steve Hart from The Sun. Daniel, can you reveal to us how much you have to spend on new talents and what players you have in mind?"
"I have a decent amount which I believe is enough to take us into the Premiership. I’m looking at 1 or 2 players but I’m not going to be making to many signings this season, I believe are side is at it’s strongest and we only need a few players to backup the other positions."
“Do you have any staff you want to bring in?
“Well I feel that 2 scouts isn’t enough for an inexperienced manager like myself so I’ve brought a German scout, Michael Klinkert in to help me out. I may be bringing some more to the club in the future.”
“John Mulholland, Daily Mail. Are you going to be getting rid of any players?”
“There are 1 or 2 players I don’t want at the club and I will be having a word with them, you will find out who they are in due course.”
“Are you doing this to get more money?”
“Well obviously more money would be nice but that isn’t the real focus. The smaller the squad the easier to train them and there’s more of a family feeling at the club.”
I exited the press conference feeling that I
’d done ok. When I got home I decided to do some scouting and bidding. I found a little gem called Phillip Langen and made a bid of 600k for him, which was somewhat of a risk as it’s the majority of my small budget I have. I had an e-mail from Chris Kinnear regarding the scout report of Frank Simek. He reckons that I am the best right-back in the squad and Frank isn’t anywhere near my standard but would still be a good signing. I decided to keep my money in my pocket regarding this player.
