Dethroning Ajax- A Vitesse Story

Jim White- "We can today reveal that dutch side Vitesse's manager Fred Rutten has stepped down from his post. Bookmakers have placed Pescara manager Cristiano Bergodi as the favourite at 6/1, with Stale Solbakken placed at 10/1, NAC Breda manager Nebojsa Gudelj at 15/1. Unknown rookie James Heyhoe is a surprise inclusion on the list at 33/1 but Vitesse owner Merabj Jordania says he may be hired if they cannot hire any of their three favourites".

Good to see a Vitesse story! Will be following

J- "What about player and staff arrivals?"
H- "I will be looking into a few signings and will revamp the backroom staff setup."

Intresting start mate, I am liking the Sky Sports side to the story

Planning for the future!

I want Vitesse to be a team where i can attract big name stars and also develop some good young prospects, so do to this, I've managed to persuade the board to do some improvements for me at the club. Firstly, i got them to upgrade the training facilities for a cost of £1.8m, secondly they will upgrade the youth facilities £4m where they will both begin at the end of the season and be completed on the 3rd of October 2013. Finally, they agreed to increase the junior coaching budget to an excellent level in hope my youth prospects will turn out to be big stars.

Great idea mate. Good ork on the board.

My free transfer has 2 caps for Croatia, and is worth £1.8m, so if he doesn't get many games i can just profit from him.
