Nomadic FC- The Early Times

Written 16 September 2010, 02:04

Late May of 2010, fresh and flush from the success of their startup - sold to Google for the contents of several large cloth bags with dollar-signs on the side - an international partnership by the name of Nomadic entered the world of VM.

Nomadic soon saw that VM was dominated by a veritable Danish empire, and quickly came to understand that if they were to have any success at all they would have to be non-traditional. With this in mind they established a facility and team in Spain and stretched their eyes across European football in search of under-appreciated players and managers.

After a season of mediocrity under their first -and it must be said- rather unremarkable manager, the Nomads hired Torrenti, an affable and wise old Italian.

Under Torrenti, Nomadic enjoyed the most successful period of their entire tenure, as the wily managers head for a good bargain brought adept players in from all over the world, and his 4-3-3 brought entertaining football and two promotions in three seasons.

Nevertheless, Nomadic never forgot their most early impression, and were constantly on the lootkout for strategies that might challenge the Danes. As they languished on in 5th division football, the partnership decided that since it would require extraordinary means to challenge the ancient Danes they would just have to earn these means. With that in mind, Nomadic FC changed from being a more traditional Football Club and become more of a player-ownership consortium.

Torrenti refused to be part of such a venture and quit, soon to be replaced by the untested but brilliant Dutch-Jamaican coach Ruud Boy. Ruud suffered a relegation, but with the new tactics of Nomadic, who bought and sold players so quickly that Ruud never knew who hed have around come game day, it was no surprise.

What was a surprise, in its own way, was how successful the consortium was at turning a profit... every week was showing a profit of several million.

Nomadic felt they were onto a good thing, and they werent the only ones....
