Chapter 5: Buying the club
"Hello Mr. Terry, I'm Jacob Johnson Jr., a friend of a partner of yours, maybe you know him, his name is George Wilson." Jacob said, trying to explain why he called, doing it as quickly as possible so that he wouldn't think it was an unknown number. or something similar.
"Ooh, interesting, a friend of George, what do I owe your call to?" the man responded in a calm but at the same time curious tone.
"I am interested in buying Doncaster Rovers." Jacob said at once, clarifying his intentions, he did not think that Terry would be surprised because the club is just one of the businesses he has, he is probably interested in selling it since he is not interested in the club very much, he just want to focus on other businesses.
"Ok, so that's it, come to the club headquarters next Sunday at 2:00 pm, the headquarters are near the stadium." right after saying that he gave Jacob the exact addresses of the club facilities.
The days passed and without him realizing it, it was Sunday and he was on his way to the clubhouse in his car. It didn't take him long to arrive and he spoke to the club secretary, saying that he had a work appointment with Terry Barrel at 2:00 pm, she verified it by calling the Barrel and she nodded, letting Jacob go to Barrel's office. As he approached the office he could see that the place really needed a remodel. He couldn't help but think about what he would turn this club into in some years.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jacob." he said without hesitation shortly after entering the office.
"Nice to meet you, please sit down." Barrel responded politely.
"The truth is that I want to get straight to the point, how much do you and the directors want for 100% of the ownership of the club, I can make the payment with you and all of you just have to distribute it between ou an your people depending of how much they posses of the club" Jacob proposed since he wanted to finish the negotiations quickly.
"I can't speak for all the owners but I can certainly convince them to sell them, I don't think anyone will oppose to sell it, alking about the price... it would be a total of approximately 1.5 million pounds sterling" At Barrell's response, Jacob could do nothing but smile, that is, it was only 1/ 100 of his total money, it didn't mean he was going to waste it but it was definitely not necessary to haggle over the price.
"It's a deal" with a few simple words the agreement to buy the club was sealed. The announcement of the purchase would be made at the beginning of July, which is when the season begins, although Jacob began managing the club a little before the official announcement.
The days and weeks passed, it was already the month of June and Jacob decided that he had to sign some players for his club, the team was weak in all facets so a complete reconstruction is completely inevitable if they aspire to great things and the first thing he wanted was to find a good manager and had several candidates...
One was Guardiola but he was still an elite player in Barcelona, Cholo Simeone is still a player, Rafa Benitez was already renowned and would never accept an offer from a fourth division club, Benitez was fired due to poor results at Osasuna but he surely had interest from strong second division clubs.
Jacob was already getting stressed out finding a candidate but a name came to mind...
To be continue…
