"Calling all passengers of flight number EZY 6589 to Funchal to gate 2."
"Well, guess that this is our flight." I said to my mate.
We boarded the plane and were ready to depart for our summer holidays to Madeira Island. Three hours and a half later, we arrived at Madeira. I could tell that the air was fresh and nearly pollution free. My mate was shocked by the beauty of the island.
"I told you so." Thats all I said on our trip to the hotel.
Two days later I revived a phone call.
"Hello. This is Carlos Pereira, chairman of C.S. Maritimo."
"Oh, how strange for to call me. Well, how can I help you sir?"
"Our manager, Mitchell Van Der Gaag, is no longer our manager due to family reasons and we are wondering if you would like to be our new manager?"
"Sure. When can I start?"
"Today!"
"Oh great. I'll be there soon. Thanks for job."
"OK. Thanks for taking the job"
My mate heard the whole conversation.
"So you come on holidays, only to find out you got a job offer! It must be your best holidays ever?!"

"Welcome Mr. Souness. It's a pleasure to have you here at the club."
"Please call me Graeme."
"OK! So we're here to discuss your contract and other stuff..."
"Five thousand seven hundred and fifty till June 2011"
"That's what I was going to say. Looks like we have an agreement. Our minimum expectation is to achieve a respectable league position."
"I want to qualify the team for Europe."
"OK! Then you will get a transfer budget of five hundred and fifty thousand pounds and a wage budget of one hundred thousand pounds per-week. The club is currently spending £81467 per-week on wages. The club also is low on funds so please don't ask for more transfer or wage budget and improving training and youth facilities or to expand the stadium."
"Sure. No problem. Well, goodbye for now, Mr Pereira."
"Please call me Carlos."
And a new chapter in my career is open.
