It was my first time in professional football management. Heck, it was the first time I'd even had my own secretary. This was going to take some getting used to.
"Yes please Sonia," I said after an awkwardly-long pause. "I need to get in touch with the FA to finalise all of our league paperwork. Can you put me through to their registrations department?"
It turned out that technology was moving faster than I could keep up with. League registrations were now online-only, through the FA's special managers-only website. It'll be a doddle, I thought. I'd ensured that the Lakeside Stadium was kitted out with all of the IT infrastructure it could ever need; high-speed internet connections and top-spec PCs meant that I had the footballing world at my fingertips.
With anticipation oozing through me, ready to set the Hampton Harriers wheels in motion, I fired up my computer and logged in to the FA website.
There was a stunning anti-climax.
I tried again and again, only to receive the same message. How was I supposed to launch Hampton onto the world scene if I couldn't even register the team?
After several frustrated hours of trying, including , I gave up for the night and resolved to begin our quest for world domination tomorrow.
