Neal Sociedad: The Real Deal

Excellent Update Nealy, as is the norm! I can sense this story will be as long and successful as the multitude of other stories you've written. How many is it you have going now? I've lost count...

Who in the fuck is Nicole? We all know that picture of yours is a photoshop, and we can't expect YOU, of all people, yes, YOU to even have a girlfriend... Defies the odds. Anyways, I made a bet of $51971076819 in favor of Neal to get Sociedad, and the odds weren't good, so I'm a rich boi

I should ban you just because of this title.

LFC: Shh, I do what I like

Walter: Nah, it's only if the person gets a reply, not necessarily accepted.

Nathaniel: Six or seven I think

Pauker: <3

Arvind: You know you love it

Great updates Neal, but it is the least I expect of you
Hopefully this story will be just as successful as your others!

pompeyblue: Thanks man, I hope you all enjoy it as much as my other two stories as well!

I gazed at the piece of paper before me, absolutely incredulous. There was no way. My CV consisted of three years of managing youth clubs in America as well as a couple of really good seasons with Inter Milan in Football Manager 2013... And a heartfelt plead for the job professing my love for the club, which I didn't think had mattered.

Either way, even if they were to reply, this is not at all what I had expected. Yet here it was, and I was just about in dreamland:

15 June 2014

Mr. Hasan,

We would like to thoroughly thank you for your genuine interest in the currently vacant managerial post at Real Sociedad de Futbol. The club is blessed to have as passionate fans as you.

It must be said, though; a job application from a fan with so little experience (albeit a stellar record in Football Manager) was very unexpected, except as a joke. It became clear to us after reading your application that you were a devoted individual that was ready to take this club forward.

Thus, we would like to cordially ask that you attend a meeting with the board of directors here at Real Sociedad within the coming days to discuss your plans for the club to see if we would be willing to hire you as our new manager.

Please be at the Anoeta at 5:00 pm on the 17th of June for your job interview. Plane tickets are in the envelope, and lodging for you in San Sebastian has already been assured.

Thank you,

Jokin Aperribay
Chairman of Real Sociedad de Futbol

I started laughing maniacally, skipping around the house; I might actually be a real football manager!

I saw my dog sitting quietly in his bed, chewing at a little toy. "It's REAL Max, it's REAL!" I yelled. He probably thought I was insane, and goodness I probably looked rather insane, but that's fine.

I hastily pulled my phone out of my pocket and snapped a quick picture of the letter. I sent the picture to Andy with the caption, "$25, pay up motherf*cker!" Maybe he was right, I do curse too much.

My energy was beginning to seep away again, and I stumbled over to my room and fell into my bed. I gazed over at the bedside table, and I saw the picture of Nicole and I that I'd kept there.

She'd gone back to Springfield to finish her P.h.D. at the University of Illinois; she'd always wanted to finish it up. 28 years old, and still in school. I shuddered. She wanted to be a doctor, though, and I loved that about her; she was always helping people. I couldn't wait to tell her about this.

I rubbed my eyes, and read through the letter again, just to ensure it was real. Me, a football manager. I could already taste it.
