The Press Conference From Hell
So today is the day I get introduced to the BFC community. I am both excited and nervous. My first management job is with one of the most controversial clubs in Europe. Before things get kicked off my press officer meets with me and we go over a few things.
"Hello Mike, are you ready for this?" "Yes I am but I have a bad feeling." "What do you mean?" "I don't know something just does not feel right, its not the team but I fear something bad will happen." "Oh, don't worry, we will have only one member of the press here." "Really? Why one??" "It is our small stature." "Oh ok."
So now the press conference is more of an informal interview, this makes me feel better but still!! I am praying things go smoothly.
20 MINUTES LATER
"Hello Mike my name is Teemu Kloop and I will be interviewing you today. I am from the Berlin Free Press."
"Nice to meet you Teemu, lets get started!"
"So what do you think about this club?"
"I have high hopes for this club and I feel we can become a powerhouse in the future, the only thing is we need to forget about the past and focus on the future."
"Ah I see, so with that what are your thoughts on the issue that just happened?"
"It was so sad, I never followed BFC much other than old research work for school and I shead a tear that this was going on."
"Can you tell me about your possible way of playing?"
"Sure, I love a 4-2-3-1 formation that is all about attacking and a strong defense."
All of a sudden people are heard chanting "DEATH TO KORRIGAN"
BOOM the door is kicked in and a bunch of Ultras come running in.
"Hey idiot get the fuck out of here we do not need people like you on our team!!!"
I stupidly say
"uhhh who are you and why are you here?"
"We are the true leaders and we run this club."
"SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Look we don't want any trouble please leave us now and you won't get hurt."
"Are you serious, I am the new manager here and I want this club to succeed, please understand."
"Well you come from the west we hate you pretty boys."
"Are you serious the Cold War has been over since the 90s, stop the hate and give me a chance."
"Like we said GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!"
5 minutes later security arrives and they are removed
"Sorry about that Mike, the fans are idiots."
"Agreed."
"Do you feel safe with BFC still?"
"Hmm I do not know, getting death threats is totally not cool and I am now having second thoughts."
"I don't blame you get out while you still can."
The press conference is now over and I was right something bad happened. Those damn "Ultras" are nothing but scum who have mommy issues. Now I need to decide if I want to stay or not. If I do stay I can defy their childish acts and maybe win them over, at a risk of being killed. Or I can just leave and find a better place to coach."
