Default Good Ol' Yeovil



Day 1-9:54am
Well isn't this exciting for you Chris? Yes, Especially to manage my first Competitive Team.
Yeovil are a Good Side, Do you reckon you could get them Promoted just like Gary Johnson did? I Think i am full of Quality, But the Pressure will be at me.
There's been a fair few Rumour's about you trying to bring in Johhny Leoni to the Squad?
Leoni is one of the player's i am looking at.
Could you tell me if there has been any Enquiries or Offer for Leoni? I don't want to talk about that.
Ok, Will you loan some player's from club's up the top of the Premiership? I will answer this one, Yes!
What is you're target for this Season? To get in the Top Half of the league, Or maybe for Play-Off's.
Well you're first Friendly is in 7 Days will there be any new addition's before than? Well i will certainly bring a few faces in, but i can't bet on it!
Thank's for you're time chris, Good Luck with Yeovil and will speak to you soon? You to Mike!

As i turn off the T.V i hear this slam of the Post coming through the Letter-Box, I quickly Skip through the Post until I see One from my Mum & Dad, It was a Congratulation's Card, It said as Follows:

Dear Son Chris,
We are both Happy to hear about you're new job, And we hope that it brings Great Success with it, Good luck with Yeovil son!
Love Mum & Dad xx

As i finish reading it, I notice a tear drop falling onto it.

Day 1-10:21am

I pick the phone up and type the number in...

"Bonjour" As He Answer's
"English?" I Reply
"Yes" as he replies in a deep French voice
"Is this Alexandre Marie?" I ask
"Yes it is, Why?" Alexandre Replies
"It's the Yeovil Town boss here, and i am interested in you're ability, since you are a free transfer"
"Carry on.." He Answer's
"Well after Auxerre Released you i have been interested, But now that i am the Yeovil manager i will finally get to be in touch, Yeovil are offering £210 Per week On a 2 Year Contract, With a bonus fee of £210 Per Appearance, £20 Per Goal and a 10% Yearly Wage Rise?"
"This is interesting I will have a word with my Agent and will sort something out with you, I will be back in touch, Bye" He Responds
"Thanks Bye"

I put down the phone, As a grin comes to my face.

Day 1-12:30am

I walk in the cafe as my hand's shake

I ask the waiter...
"Have you seen John Fry?"
"Yes, he's sitting over there with those paper's" He replies
"Thanks"

I walk over to John the Chairman's table..
"Hi John" As he changes conversation
"Chris you finally arrive" As he put's down the paper's
"Now, I'm interested in bringing a few young Player's from the big gun's" I ask
"Well it depends who from, if it's from Liverpool i will let you, because we are in good touch with them after the signing of Lee Peltier" John Replies
"Well here's the reserve list" As i hand over the list
"Hmmm.. Why not try Nemeth And Aridane!" He ask's
"Sure Boss, will talk to Rafael as soon as possible" I reply
"Well remember to not go over our wage budget" He Say's
"I wont"

As john pick's the paper's up he ask's
"Now maybe you could get some player's to sign some new contract's"
"I was thinking about this the other day, and i thought that maybe renewing them may make them more hyped for the new season" I reply
"Sure do what you like!" John reply's
"Thanks"

As i leave the cáfe, The Hype rushes into me.

Day 1-10:04pm

"Guatelli nice to be speaking to you" I say
"You to Chris" Andrea Replies
"Well FC Zurich did accept you're offer, So im hear to talk about a contract, Now i know you wont be interested but English football is a great step in you're career, and could make you turn into a great goalie in the top division's of the english league"
"Let's hear what you're offering than" He replies
"You will be a key player with £2,900 per week, on a 4 year contract with a 10k signing on fee, a appearance fee £575, a clean sheet bonus £220 and a yearly wage rise of 10%"
"Thanks for the offer, will get back to you as soon as possible" he replies
"Bye Andrea"

The unhappy look shines off my face.

This is really good. I like the story so far, and yes I was interested in the tear and then the grin, then The Hype. The Hype was U2's name initially, sorry unless you're a fan, but it amused me when you said The Hype rushes into me.

A couple of gripes, and I'm really sorry to add this and please don't think I'm trying to sound clever cos there are plenty of chaps cleverer than me on here, but....I find conversation easier to read if you use different colours for the text or maybe italics. Another minor point, perhaps you need to look at your use of '. There are 's all in places they don't need to be, but these really are minor gripes, and I can't wait for the continuation....

Day 2-9:28am

The dog's bark and that give's me the clue, The flap open's and closes...

As i pick up the mail i hope that Liverpool have responded, I flick through the post as i see post from Liverpool, Auxerre and a free agent, I look at the Liverpool one first and it say's as follows


Dear Mr Ashmore,

Liverpool have accepted the loan offer Aridane, and will get back to you shortly to confirm this deal.

Liverpool have rejected the loan offer for Nemeth, Liverpool feel the wage contribution offered was below an acceptable ammount.

Thanks,
Liverpool Football Club


After that message i start to feel mixed feeling's as i realise that i still need a striker that would bag goal's for me, so i take a look at the message from Auxerre


Dear Chris,

I have accepted a new contract offer from Auxerre, I just feel at home here, but maybe one time Chris, i have signed a 2 Year Contract, so maybe in 2 year's you can approach me.

From Alexandre Marie


As the disappointment gets worst i read the last one to maybe make me happy


To Chris

Humberto has rejected the offer from Yeovil, He feels the basic wage offered is unacceptable, He feels that an Argument is probable, And would like to proceed with further negotiation's.

Humberto's Agent


I reach out for a piece of paper, And start a new message...


Dear Humberto's Agent,

Here is my new contract offer, You will be a key player, £2,000 per week, A 2 year contract, Appearance fee of £200, Goal bonus of £50, 25% promotion wage rise and 25% relegation wage drop.

I hope i will be seeing you in Training next week.

From Chris


The pressure rises as i know i need to sign to win.

This is great, I particularly liked the bit about Humberto who thought that an argument was probable and wanted to carry on with negotitations. Do you need to go 'tooled-up'? lol

Unlucky on not getting Nemeth on loan mate - would have been a good move - David Amoo in the youth side is worth trying to get (though you probably know that already).

Good stuff - looking forward to more
