The fact that she was being perfectly serious as far as he could tell worried him. If his sarcasm was now the best idea they had, he was glad he never talked to the PR department. Or more correctly, they were glad they never talked to him. The comment that the team needed to "show a little leg" go the same reaction. He was of the opinion that the league had leg showing down pat, and it was his job to provide some actual, decent football. But he should have known that this crap would land on his plate when he signed on the dotted line, so now he could only try and turn it into something.<br/><br/>He grabbed his discarded notes, pulling a roster of rookies from the back to look over for names that might jump out at him. He had hardly any notes on them, He was counting on the first weeks of training to show him who the real talent was.<strong>"I will consult with my staff and get you your girls.I we have a quite a few trainees with sports backgrounds so they will be on the short list."</strong>he said. Then a thought occurred to him,<strong>"There is also one girl that has some kind of internet following. I'll make sure she's there, and that she's ready."</strong>He found Kumiko Sakamoto on the roster list and put a star next to her name.  She was going to get some extra attention for good or Ill.<br/><br/><strong>"I want to make it clear here that I have no intention of letting this team become a side show."</strong>he continued,<strong>"You hired me to build a franchise and that's what I intend to do. Skin might get sponsors, or asses in seats, or whatever, but winning gets more. I'm not expecting to live out an 80's sports movie out there, but I am going to do my best to make the strongest team I can."</strong>Arthur looked at Stacey when he said it, but he wasn't sure if she needed to hear it or if he just needed to say it, but it was done. He had a feeling he'd be repeating that speech a lot in the coming weeks.<br/><br/><br/>
