Fourteenth day - I am who I am

The transfer window closes at the end of August, and a normal deal takes around a week to negotiate. I am running out of time if I want to try to hire anyone else, it's now the 20th of August...

So it's with great interest that I finally get results from my scout, he's found two very promising 18 year old players and one specially is seriously good and not expensive at all.

I dive in, make my offer and happily fantasize about this guy. I could do with an AMC that can come out of the bench and gets balls from Tiernan. Plus, he's got potential to improve. He's good looking too, and I would like to have more females in the public, they are great for business as they attract even more boys. I want this guy a lot.

But when his answer comes, I am confronted with a dilemma.

He likes my conditions, my team and the salary. He will sign with Queen's Park and make true my wet dream of kicking East Stirlingshire into 5th division, but there is a small problem in the contract offer, easily corrected...

He wants a full time contract or nothing.

Shit.

Queen's Park does not hire full timers, I said it before, it's against our team's history.

So what to do? This guy would be great for my team and a game is a game, after all. It's meant to be played, not taken seriously like real life. Anyway, I already have 3 full timers on loan from bigger teams. At the end of the day, who would mind?

...

I would.

I cancel the contract negotiations and send the guy home.

My team will take all the glory or nothing at all.

Even if the game does not model it, I will not break more than a hundred years of history if I can prevent it,

I am who I am...

As the time passes with all this things, Albion Rovers pays me a visit to try and steal three points from Hampden Park. 

Great, fresh meat. 

And tender, very tender meat this is.

They will be first victims of my huge pitch combiend with my wing heavy tactic. My wingers are actually quite hungry for action, in the last matches away most of the action has gone through the center. And Albion Rovers is not a good team, so I think we are going to have a fun time at Hampden.

I choose the attack through the wings variant of my balanced tactic and encourage my boys.

I win 2-0 with 70% of posession.

I also stand proud in the first position in the league, tied with other 4 teams.

6 points and 5 goals scored and 2 against in 3 matches.

Not bad for a team of part timers, methinks.
