I sent my scouts out technically all over the world to search for young and talented players. The system told me where to search, it wanted to tell me who are those talents, but I told it 'Don't do it! It would be no fun!'.
Though I said to the system don't help me too much, I still asked it to give me money to add it to the club's budget, since it's too little to replace the players it already has.
Yes, you heard it right, I want to replace the whole squad.
My plan is to sell all the original players, and replace all of them with young and promising palyers. Those who won't get much play time will be sent out on loan to get play time at another club and get experience as well.
Anyways, for this season I also plan to design a new jersey. It won't be anything crazy, it will have 3 horizontal lines in it, it's primary color is a classic blue and it's secondary color is white.

A few weeks later my scouts have came back and all of them stood in my office.
"Okay. Let's start with...you! Jake! Who did you found? I told you to find a goalkeeper, right?"
"Yes, sir. From the contacts I have, I got information about a Hungarian goalkeeper who played 10 games in total for Makó FC and in those 10 games he managed to get 10 clean sheets. I believe he has good potential."
"I see, I'll look into him more as well, good job," I said as browsed through the information about Lajos Budai, then continued, "Next up...Jurrijn! I also asked you to find a goalkeeper as well, right?"
"Yeah, I stayed here in the UK and used my connections to, eh...whatever, I did the same thing as Jake. I found these two youngsters," he said as he gave me two piece of papers.

I went through all the players' information, this time more thoroughly, since I have more time now that no one's in my office.

-------------------
After reading through all of them, I finally went home, hit the bed and slept nice and deep.
After this the summer transfer window opened and, I personally, went to Maidstone United FC's manager to negotiate about me wanting to buy Cockfoster.
After half an hour of going back and forth we came to an agreement of €2.2M, which is a fucking steel, but of course, this isn't the hard part, but coming to an agreement with Cockfoster is.
A few hours later, the same day, I met up with Cockfoster and his agent at my office.
Cockfoster has black hair and black eyes and heart-shaped face, not going to lie, he looks quite handsome, he could easily make a man jealous with his appearance.
We only negotiated for a few minutes after coming to the agreement of €5.1K a week, which is a lot more than what he is earning at Maidstone and he agreed to that I will loan him out as soon as he transfers.
Why will I loan him out? Because after seeing the statics of the three goalkeepers, he had less clean sheets compered to the other two.
The next day we made the transfer offical, and we had a conference, where me and Cockfoster answered the questions of the reporters. Towards the end I handed him the club's new jersey with 'Cockfoster' on it and under it the number '60'.

A/N: As you can see, this novel is really, really, really fast-paced and it will be like this to the end(probably).
