This
may be my last ever Open Goal diary entry.
Sometimes other things land on one's lap
in life, and as I was scanning through
the papers this morning, it dawned on
me that my talents could be better utilised
elsewhere, with potentially millions of
pounds to be pocketed too.
In short, I am considering becoming an
FTC, that's a 'Football Transfer Consultant'.
For just a miniscule percentage of a proposed
transfer fee, I'll offer bespoke, cutting
edge advice to clubs on whether transfers
are worthwhile. I will draw upon my reserves
of hundreds of hours sat watching sub-standard
footy on the BBC, Sky .. damn it, even
EuroSport, and will respond across the
club's requested medium (telephone, email,
text message) giving the appropriate,
"Yes, go for it, it's the next Wayne
Rooney," or "No, steer clear,
it's the next Wayne Routledge". A
potential goldmine awaits. |
