In Episode 1 we hear about Como’s turbulent recent history.. how the club has been through one bankruptcy after another, how the stadium is falling apart. There’s a mountain of work to do to turn things around – clearing up the dodgy dealings of the past, making a plan to work on the stadium, working with the Director of Football to make sure that enough players are hired in the preseason for the club to have a full squad for when the season starts. In the depths of all this Michael is confronted with an interesting challenge – should he sanction the hiring of a highly talented yet troubled player recently jailed for taking part in a robbery?
