Journal entry 1 "The Right to Dream"
July 12, 2023
Not the way I planned my summer to go. After being an assistant at Tottenham for the last two seasons, I thought I would have a position under the new manager. Instead, I was released with the rest of the staff and am now trying to start over.
My goal is to become a manager myself. This summer has been a challenge, after applying for positions at Barrow, Gillingham, Morecambe, Forest Green and Portsmouth, I have decided to go out of country.
Half of league 2 rejected me in England but I have been told there are a few possibilities in Denmark. I am not familiar with the Danish league but football is football. If I can find a club that will take a chance, I know I will be successful.
But who will it be?
Hints for readers: very young squad, in Denmark, kit color and stadium name in this post above...
Very interesting! Now, I'm not sure if I'm meant to reveal your club, or if it's meant to be a mystery a little longer. But that's a brilliant choice, always an agent for positive attacking football and developing young talents. Both of Danish origin, but also a lot coming from especially African nations.
They've also made a number of great sales, matching FC København and FC Midtjylland in this regard. They don't match their results though, but they also sell every youngster with potential and always seem to find a way to replace him with another bright upcoming star. I'm looking very much forward to see where this is going.

es, please reveal! I want to make sure I have the correct hints lol.. I thought you might get it but I literally know nothing about this league or teams so I might make mistakes.
They are very young, that is one of the reasons I picked them.

Correct hints indeed. The red and yellow colours gave it away, and so did "Right to Dream", with the club's stadium being called Right to Dream Park and their academy in Ghana sharing the same name. You should definitely send a scout there!
The club has been successful with youngsters and have a great history of selling great talents to bigger leagues for good money. Andreas Schjelderup, Mohamed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Andreas Skov Olsen, Mathias Jensen, Simon Adringra, Mikkel Damsgaard, Marcus Ingvartsen, just to name a few. In recent years they've tried to sign a bit of experience too, with Kian Hansen arriving from FC Midtjylland, now being the captain of the club. They also signed Randers captain Erik Marxen to add experience, and bringing home former Superliga top scorer Marcus Ingvartsen was seen as a coup and a sign of intent to also try to challenge the top teams.
It's a relatively new club, merged in 1992 as Farum Boldklub. One of the primary men behind was then mayor of Farum, Peter Brixtofte, who was also chairman of the football club. He was later found guilty of cheating with funds from the city to the benefit of the football club. Despite him being sent to prison, the club joined the top tier in in 2001/02 and changed their name to FC Nordsjælland, trying to represent the whole region and not just the city of Farum.
