Forget history. Forget legacy. Forget passion. The future of football is a formula, and eighteen-year-old Michael Sterling is about to prove it. While his father, Richard, clings to the romantic, decaying dream of their beloved Northwood FC, Michael sees only one thing: failure. The club is a joke, staring down the barrel of relegation with a wage bill that could bankrupt a small nation. His solution? Sell. His father's? A lecture about the club's "soul." Mocked by his friends and infuriated by his father's refusal to face reality, Michael snaps. He’s done trying to fix the past; he's going to build the future. Liquidating his lavish lifestyle, he gambles everything he has on a radical experiment: to create a football club run purely by logic. He'll scout with algorithms, sign players based on statistical value, and manage with cold, calculated strategy. He’s building a machine designed for one purpose: to dominate. This is the story of a young genius who declares war on the old ways, determined to build an empire so successful it will force his father, and the entire football world, to admit he was right. Can a club without a soul conquer the beautiful game?
