i struggle to figure out which one has the brain :S
Wednesday, 22ND Of July.
Well, 2 days later and who would've thought it. I'm trying to get a job. Went to the job centre this morning. Nothing available. Spent all Tuesday going around shops asking for a Job, Nothing Available once again. Even my own dad won't give me a job due to i should be 'taking responsibility' of my own life. I mean, It seems that no one wants me. I like to manage things, so maybe if i get a job in McDonalds again, Within time, they'd make me manager. But that's only a thought. I was walking around yesterday, and someone Stopped me and for my opinion for Sky Sports news about the latest manager appointment, Roy Hodgson to Liverpool from Fulham. I gave about a 10 minute speech to them, and carried on job hunting. When i got back, i was on the TV. It was about my speech on Sky Sports, i couldn't believe they were Playing it. And as a tab at the bottom it said 'Daniel Jones, Former Footballer'. I was so excited. The next day, I was also in the newspaper. It said 'Fulham Want Jones'. I brought it and had a read. Fulham Chairman was caught saying that he watched Jones when he was younger, and thought i'd make a great Manager. I couldn't believe my luck. A couple of days ago, my own dad wouldn't give me a job, but now A premiership club wants me to manage them! Later that day i got crowded by Paparazzi. They asked me if i would be interested in the Fulham Job. Obviously i said i would be. I managed to get through them and was saved by a man in his restaurant. Soon as they gave up, and said my thank you's to the man, and got on my way.
When i got home, The kids were all talking about the Newspapers. They were so excited, One of them said "maybe we can see Wayne Rooney when he plays Fulham!". But the wife wasn't so excited about it. She gave me a 10 minute speech about how i shouldn't take the job. The main reason was that My wife owned her own Beauty salon, And that the kids where just about to start school. That made me think alot about the Job. In all honestly, i still haven't decided. But who's to say that they're gonna offer me the job. It's just speculation. It's hardly ever right.

15th July 2010.
I'd been practicing what i would say in my head for hours. I kept thinking off what type off manager i would be if i were to take any of the jobs. I always seen myself as a Jose. I didn't really care if the press didn't like me. I loved being in the lime-light.
I did my research on each team, i already knew about the obvious suspects like Portsmouth and Fulham. But what about Bradford and Vallodolid? I'd heard off Valadolid a few times.
I did sit down with Sarah and ask her what she thought. She just wanted me to get a job, no matter where it was. She did say that Spain would be a nice move for us both, getting away from this country and all it's bad habbits. So i decided that i had my eyes set firmly on Valladolid. I'd never spoken Spanish in my life. Apart from the odd line, which i learnt from when i went to Spain a few years back with Sarah and a couple off the lads. I thought well Fabio Capello didn't speak English, and he learnt? I wasn't kidding myself though. I knew the players wouldn't like my English way of managing.
The Phone Call
I'd had this planned in my head, i thought to myself. I wont be speaking directly to the Chairman, thats obvious but at least i was getting somewhere. I rang the number which there website had kindly gave to me.
"Hello, I'm Luke Bodell. I'm calling to ask about the vacant managerial job at your club"
A very deep voiced man was speaking. He said that if this was a serious application i should write down my job history and a football style CV and send it to him.
Waiting for a reply
So a couple off days had passed. Everytime the phone rang, me and Sarah would crowd round the phone wondering if this was the one! The first 2 calls were from your usuall company trying to sell you some bogus window frames etc. But the call did come eventually.
"Hello"
"Hello, is that Mr Bodell?"
"Yes, yes it is, how can i help you"
"I'm the Chairman of Vallodolid FC"
"Oh, Hello there Sir, It's a pleasure to speak to you"
His name was Carlos Suarez. He was a very rich Bussinessman. From Spain of course. At this point the conversation was still making my heart pound. But as it grew older and he put me on hold to view my CV i had a glance at him on Google.
Well he certianly looked like a nice chap. I quickly typed in Valladolid on Wikipedia to have a look at what the town looked like.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valladolid
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Valladolid
It seemed a pretty nice place. Let's just hope everythings goes to plan.
"Hi, Sorry about your wait Mr Bodell, me and my managering director have looked closely at your CV, it seems you have never had any managerial experience except for youth teams"
"Thats right yes, I'd been reccomended by me friend to come and manage the local u18's youth team called Ardle FC, It wasn't a big job, but i learnt some key things there"
"Well sir, would it be possible you could fly out to Spain tomorow and we'll have further discussions, I'll E-Mail you the details and directions"
"That would be a pleasure Carlos, thankyou"
"Ok Luke, I look foward to meeting you"
I put the phone down. I turned towards Sarah, and gave her the biggest hug. I knew that phone call had gone to plan and she'd heard it all through the loud speaker.
We were going to Spain. And i could be the next boss of Valladolid!

That was my next update guys, hope you enjoyed it. I'll be doing one maybe later, or tomorow on my journey down into Spain and my interview with Carlos (K)
