So it is the 2014-15 season.

We are in charge of the Legion United Phoenix Club in the sixth tier of the English game, all because David Hagen and his chums sold the old club to Red Bull. So we are now the mission. Well, it's to close down and overtake Red Bull Leeds who have Jesse Marsh as the manager, but I gather he's struggling a little bit. Our new home stadium, we've had to move away from Ellen Road, is Headingley in North Leeds, playing under a dome, Michael? Not on purpose, but we're there. Just a little game tweak that forgot to happen, but I think I like the idea of the Headingley Superdome. Don't know about you. So yeah, Indoor Stadium in the dome. Eddie Gray is our boss. He's the chairman of the club.

We are going under the collective umbrella of Arcadia Brendan Chisholm. That's our manager name, which is an anagram of all five of our names who are on the pod. Chris Dan, Dean, Michael and Rob. Not a penny spent in the transfer market. No need. Right? No need. Is that down to your expertise, Michael? We had Eddie in the other day, didn't we?

How would you think he'd have reacted?

I'd have explained this to him.

I think it's best he doesn't know. Yeah. But, it's a 10-year-old computer game we're playing. We've put you in as fictional chairman. You boys have fun, I think he's what he just said.

Yeah, very confusing.

It will be pleased because, yeah, we haven't spent a penny, but we've been hoovering up a lot of young Italian talent that's been on the freebie market. A few League United related stalwart's in there as well, some sentimental favorites. We are partnered up with a platinum partner, as I said a couple of episodes ago, is Levi's listers who will offer you a 10% discount on your legal fees and their full range of services from 2014-15.
