Scenario
Havering Whitecaps
Maddy Wright and Katy Parrish have supported Havering Whitecaps since their boyfriends played for the team. Their boyfriends’ careers and the teenage romances are now very much in the past but their support of the team remains as strong as ever.
Until 15 years ago the Whitecaps were a struggling non-league team with little support.
There were times, on wet and cold November afternoons, when Maddy and Katy were the only supporters.
In 1999 a magical thing happened to the Whitecaps. At that time the team’s position, both in football terms and financially, was perilous to say the least. However, a financial backer appeared in the form of Harold Adenyi.
Harold had studied at the local college and even played a few games for the Whitecaps.
His progress as a footballer was hampered by a lack of ability. He gave up on a career as a footballer to concentrate on what he was good at, which was IT and mathematics. He made a large amount of money by creating an online accountancy website called lesstax.com.

    Some people are born with natural god given skills and ability while others who are not that lucky and have to work twice as hard just to get the same result. And then there are those rare individual who even though they are born with the talent, they still work just as hard and sometimes even harder to keep improving. It is called determination and that is a trait that all the great athletes share and it is what separates the great ones from the just good ones. This is perfect way to describe Peyton Williams Manning, who is considered to be one of the most prolific passers in NFL history.…

    One of the most influential soccer players in the world, Pele, grew up on the streets of South America in Brazil. It’s hard to believe it’s possible for a man who has become so famous in the world of soccer never even owned a pair of shoes until he was seven, but it also shows his fans how someone can succeed with hard work and determination. Pele’s fame spread quickly, and ultimately introduced the United States to the game of soccer when he led his team to win the world cup. I chose Pele, one of the best soccer players in the world, because he is known world-wide for his skills and his generosity. Whether or not Pele had grown up without so much care, I still believe that he would have still grown up…

    The main outcome showed the fact that Andriy who had been the super forward center before the transfer had two seasons in Chelsea but he only got nine goals in forty-seven appearances in Premier League and Chelsea also did not win the Champion of the league in that two seasons.So,it was a failed decision not only for the player but for Chelsea as well.Lack of professional knowledge lead Roman ignore the needs which the team require then he bought the wrong player who did not match the original tactics system.So,although Andriy had been a top football forward,he still could get the great performance in the club. Moreover, because of less communication of coaches and team players, Roman were not aware of the fact whether Andriy could blend in with the club or not.So,it leaded to him to not good enough to cooperate with the team numbers.Finally,for the reason Roman did not make a so completed plan that the company could not sell the player as a high price at the end of his contract for his age which is over the football player’s golden age and eventually,he left the club freely. It meant that the decision made a failed investment,because the company pay a lot of money for the player who did not improve the team very much and also could not get the transfer fee back by selling him.…
