Laurent Legrande (Tom) has just undergone a huge move. Having narrowly missed out on a playoff place with SV Waldhof, the summer transfer window came and went and he remained at the club. However, having guided SV Waldhof positively in the league until January to a comfortable 6th place, Eintracht Frankfurt came calling. And with an offer that good on the table, and with Champions League football still in play, Legrande couldn't refuse. What's next for Legrande in his first partial season at the club? Will things be plain sailing, or will his European dream turn into a nightmare?
Whilst at Albert Wiseman's CSA Steaua Bucureşti, jubilation at winning Romania's Liga II and earning promotion to the Superliga, hasn't lasted long. With the reality dawning of the serious uphill challenge staring the team straight in the face, and with no wins at all this season, things are looking grim. However, Wiseman, like the con artist he is, has been offered a lifeline to escape. The price however is steep, crossing over to the other club that claims Steau Bucharest's iconic champions league winning legacy, Fotbal Club FCSB. Will the fraudster gain a conscience, or will he jump like a rat from a sinking ship?
The answers to these questions will be revealed in Episode 11 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.
