The Chelsea manager flew in on one of Abramovich’s private jets back from a tactics seminar in Milan. He looked pleased that during his time he had finally settled on a formation and knew just what he wanted his superstars to individually do. Steve Clarke had been sent away to look over what was rumored to be a Valencia midfielder and was picking his Manager up from the Airport.
Manager Robertson put is bags in the boot and turned.
“Well am I making a phone call to Valencia to get our boy Pablo or not”
Steve looked across
“If your not I know a Russian that can”
They both smiled as the car drove off.
Back at his desk he was pleased at the way Marc Van Bommel a Bosman had settled in during pre-season and although league games were upon him he was certainly not finished in the market. He was happy that his 33 Million acquisition from Valencia was on a plane over to London after a quick call to an eager Valencia boss who was telling him about some Man-U player he would buy with the cash.
The door opened and Mr Abramovich walked in.
“So we happy at our signings, I’ve got two lads in mind leave it with me I’ve got your short list”
Before Robertson could say anything he had turned and said a load of Russian to his assistant that sounded like
“могу я иметь номер Aresnals и milans также, я получаю деньг, котор нужно потратить..” and walked out
Before he knew it 85 million had been spent and Patrick Vieira and Pirlo Andrea were out on the training pitch.
Manager Robertson stood there with this seasons new signings all 120Million of them and scratched his head he had four world class stars and finding were to play them was going to be fun. He did make the one comment.
“last season we came second and that was disappointing for all of us and the lack of depth and class in some areas showed itself, we have firmly corrected that and I now have what I would consider one of the strongest squads in the world all I need is to find the right blend but next up I will be looking at a strong world class Centre Back and Forward”
Shirt sales up, unbeaten in the league after five games and Manager for the month of August and still in his job, its good to be blue.
