13 Presentation

Day of the announcement of the purchase of the club…

NOT POV

You can see a peaceful landscape of people walking in Doncaster, going about their lives, just enjoying the nice cloudy morning weather the city was having at the time, everything seemed normal but in a house someone would find out about a small event, one which at the time no one could have known would be the most important in the history of English football and perhaps, football itself.

We can see that in a house they were having breakfast, more importantly, the father of the family was reading the newspaper. "My God, I can't believe it…" Andrew said with a tone of… excitement!?

"What happened, dad?" a small skinny boy with short blonde hair said with curiosity in his voice.

"They bought Doncaster Rovers, it seems like it was a couple of weeks ago but the announcement was only made today." Andrew said as he put a piece of a fried egg into his mouth.

"Who bought them?" the boy asked, barely able to understand the concept of buying and selling.

"It seems that it was a young millionaire named…" he stopped for a moment to read the name "Jacob Johnson Jr., it seems that tomorrow is the press conference in which they will present some new players. "Andrew said the last thing with a bit of emotion, not in his voice but in his eyes, all while his son stared at him nervously as Andrew stared at him.

"Don't think I've forgotten that you have school today." Andrew said as he ordered him with his eyes to go get his backpack and get into the car.

Similar situations were happening in various houses around Doncaster, that is, Doncaster Rovers are the only professional football team in Doncaster, therefore technically they were the only option locally if they did not decide to support a first division team like Liverpool or Manchester United.

A few hours later that same day a small group of teenagers could be seen heading to the house of one of them.

"Hey, did you see they bought Doncaster Rovers today?" said a short boy with glasses and medium length wavy hair.

"Really?! Well I hope it's a change for the better, wouldn't it be great if our local club became good?" answered a tall black boy with a shaved head, thinking to himself with a bit of melancholy and sadness (shit man, it's a shame they don't have a youth team, I really would have liked to have had a chance at football).

After that little talk, the group of friends simply continued walking towards their destination calmly...

Presentation day of the players and the president.

POV MC

Just yesterday the purchase of Doncaster Rovers was announced and today is the day on which I am going to make myself known to the world, or rather first of all, to England.

There weren't many journalists or anything which was normal due to the fact that we are a small club and obviously we don't attract much attention at the moment.

The press conference will begin in 3…2…1

"The questions can begin." I said with some nervousness but I managed to maintain my composure, I really wasn't used to dealing with a lot of people but it's something I'll have to get used to over time.

Several reporters started raising their hands so I decided to ramdomly pick one among them.

Seeing that he received permission, a somewhat old reporter with his hair combed back asked, "It is true that the acquisition of the club has been sudden to say the least, what objectives do you have in this first season with the club?" the reporter asked in a professional manner.

"Very well, the truth is that this is a very good question to start with, the objective of this season is actually quite simple, it is to win, I mean promotion to the Sky Bet League 1 of course." I said with determination to the reporters who simply stared with slight astonishment mixed with skepticism.

"Are you saying that you are going to achieve promotion this season?" a woman with blonde hair reporter asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Obviously I can't guarantee anything but I can say one thing, with me at the helm this club will reach new heights, it is evident that the plan is not to be in the Nationwide Football league Third Division (Sky Bet League Two in the present) forever, and we will prove it this season." I said with renewed confidence.

"We have heard rumors from reliable sources that you have proposed yourself as the manager of the club, with all the respect in the world I asked you, are you really prepared for the position or have you at least received some type of training?" said a reporter with glasses who was clearly wearing a toupee due to premature baldness.

(It's normal for them to think that about me, maybe they even think I'm one of those eccentric owners who appoint themselves as another player on the team, and the body of this world never received the knowledge to train or formal education to be a manager so I can't answer yes but... ) I was trapped in my thoughts for a moment until I decided to respond "I am prepared for the challenge, I am a person with extensive knowledge of football and what an athlete must do to be successful, I am aware that there will be doubts regarding this, but I'm sure they will be dissolved as soon as they see the games," I said with a respectful tone towards the reporter who only nodded at the response.

The press conference continued for a while longer until it was time to introduce the players, it was a simple presentation, with them posing holding the team shirt that had a white shirt design with red stripes similar to the one of Atlético de Madrid.

Everyone showed up without exception, Puyol, Zlatan and Ashley Cole, the only thing that caught the attention of those present at the press conference was that these 3 players were quite young but apart from that it was nothing exciting because they were no really well known players.

So there were no interviews to them, they simply asked me questions about what I thought of them and what the future plans were with these players.

The first game of the season was on a Saturday, August 23, it will be in the afternoon at 5:30 pm.

A few hours before the start of the game...
