11.09 - my lazy Sunday is ruined. Iโve been on the phone to James Watts mate who set up the fire sticks in the legends lounge, trying to get a refund on our ยฃ50
He has not responded
11:25 - Sueโs son has failed his A-levels. I hear her consoling him on the phone.
โRemember, itโs who you know not what you know that is important. Look at my bossโ
I am proud to inspire the younger generation
18:00 - I think back to yesterday. An absolute bore kept chewing my ear off.
I told him we were signing a striker and a couple of midfielders, to shut him up.
09:59 - finish up a morning meeting on transfer targets with Jamie Russell. Its non stop with this guy. The squad already has at least 20 players, and I believe we can only play 11 at any one time.
I tell him he is being wasteful
20.22 - reflecting on another productive day, and the announcement that we may win best ran club at the Fair Game awards.
Our commercial manager regularly tells me that we are ran better than most non-league sides, so this success doesnโt come as a surprise
16.24 - Iโm aware of a parody song about me being posted last night
The commercial manager has been on the phone all day trying to find the identity of the culprit. I thought to get it removed - he now tells me heโs been trying to book them for next summers concerts
15:39 - an enjoyable afternoon with clem.
Iโm introduced to one woman who turns out to be the disability liaison manager.
She has done some fantastic things, but I worry itโs because sheโs not busy enough in her day job (whatever that is). I vow to give her more to do
09:43 - Iโve been at the Eady for nearly an hour, and havenโt seen anybody yet.
It is Friday, I say to myself, and presume people are working from home
11:37 - weโve been getting a lot of stick for the ambulance thing. I ask Sue to put out a statement saying we are renaming the county ground after Nigel Eady. People lap that up
15:38 - we wrap up our pre match brief ahead of our final home friendly.
I tell the guys to pay close attention to the opposition tomorrow. With hard work and perseverance (and some luck) we might one day be as great as Wycombe Wanderers
16:04 - Clem comes to say goodbye. He doesnโt acknowledge my wet clothes. I have accidentally left my notebook open on the earlier doodles. I hurry to close it. Clem doesnโt say anything, but I know he saw. On his way out I see him and James Watts shoot finger guns at each other
10.27 - I mill around the corridors of the Eady, looking for something to do.
James Watts and Sue are talking by the water cooler. They ask if Iโm having a โBrat Summerโ
Iโm too embarrassed to admit I donโt know what that means. I say yes. They walk off giggling
14:03 - Sue asks me if we have sorted the invoicing yet for the ambulance and Police service. I say no. I ask if we could ask fans who watch casualty to be volunteer first aiders. She says she will see.
14:01 - an angry man from Wiltshire police is on the phone. Heโs saying an invoice is overdue. I tell him we have not received such invoice
After hanging up, I find it buried beneath travel brochures for Karachi and south east Pakistan
I pretend I have not seen it
17:45 - I make it home. A quick shower and dinner (pot noodle on toast) before settling down to my favourite bit of telly - the one show. Jermaine Jenas is a modern polymath
21:19 - I check for any Instagram updates from Sue. nothing. Maybe tomorrow. I see James Watts has posted a selfie pretending a traffic cone is his penis. I close my phone, and head to bed
10.10 - Iโm called into an urgent meeting on the fanzone development, which has been receiving criticism online
Being honest, Iโd thought Iโd been approving ย a community garden (which the โfans ownโ), but hide my confusion well.
11:24 - HEโS HERE!! Clem comes in through the double doors. Heโs so cool and stylish. He high fives James Watts, I feel a pang of anger. He puts his hand on my shoulder and the anger subsides. Everything is going to be ok.
