Boris Aluminovitch
You met the owner of Calchester Assembled, Boris Aluminovitch. This character is inspired by several picturesque club owners. If you explore the history of modern football you’ll find that the constant need for more money to burn will attract very “flexible” managers to this world... Aluminovitch speaks a language that is inspired by Clockwork Orange - read more below.

Coach Drama: handshakegate
A game called Football Drama must also be about football’s main drama: the managers’ willing / not willing to shake hands at the end of the match!
A book that gave us so much inspiration on such matters:
“A wonderfully insightful analysis of the language of soccer”

Bring Splatter Down
2015 FIFA corruption case
While many large entertainment organizations see their management behave in bizarre ways, FIFA and its management has beaten them all. There is immense literature on the topic, you could start from this:
“Near the end of May 2015, fourteen people were indicted in connection with an investigation by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) into wire fraud, racketeering, and money laundering.”

Won the Championship!
Football Drama has 24 different endings.
It’s a rare case of a football game where winning the championship does not mean reaching the highest goal (no pun…)
Pasolini and football
“Football is the last sacred ritual of our time”.
This Pasolini quote defines perfectly what Football Drama’s tries to depict.
La prima biografia-antologia di un Pasolini pressoché inedito, quello che amava e viveva lo sport con la passione di un ragazzo di borgata e la complessità di un intellettuale raffinato.
Monty Python imagined that, in a football match played by philosophers, the ball would remain at the centre of the field until someone like Socrates had an idea. In such a match, the mind was always above the
physical, like two different entities unable to reconcile.
I-Ching and P.K.Dick
Football Drama homages also P.K.Dick. It shares with the author the belief and usage of the Book Of Changes.
That events can take place outside of time is a discovery that strikes me as dismal.
My first reaction was, "Good God, I was right; when you're at the dentist it does last forever."

Marseille president Bernard Tapie and general manager Jean-Pierre Bernès contacted Valenciennes players Jorge Burruchaga, Jacques Glassmann, and Christophe Robert through Marseille player ...
