Fort Lauderdale, FL - Soccer fan Philip Russum stated that he was fully and completely #RussumOUT as he began an online campaign to remove himself from managing his own Football Manager save.
“The results have been horrendous,” stated Russum about himself. “And I can no longer stomach the loses and the unending ineptitude. Russum must go and the board must appoint someone new who has the ability to acquire good players and put them in a position to succeed.”
Russum has been the coach and general manager of his Football Manager save for the past 5 weeks as he originally loaded up the sim to pass the time during quarantine. However, the connection between the fans and the management broke down during the 12 game losing streak of week 3.
“The fans must understand that we are building something here.” stated Russum to himself. “And we are not always going to see measured success immediately. This isn’t just something where you can buy the best players, we must be smart and take calculated risks. I accept that I am in a position where I will complain about the tenure of myself. That comes with the job, but the attacks in the stands and online towards my character and myself are too far.”
For his part, Russum stated that this statement was unacceptable and a sign of the lack of ambition that Russum has had since he took over the team five weeks ago.
“We aren’t in week 1 when the team was fresh and the anticipation was palpable,” stated Russum as he protested himself out in front of his computer. “This is week 5 and in week 5 we should see results. It’s not just results though, but as well …. there needs to be some kind of community investment and strengthening of ties between the front office and the fans. These baseless rumors of fans attacking Russum online are pure fabrication. If anything has been said it has been true and as a public figure I should know that I will come into criticism from myself.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Russum takes extreme measures as he confronts himself in front of his home leading to widespread condemnation of himself by himself and a severe crackdown on himself in the stands.
