The critical reviews about the factual inaccuracies of the script are right: you wouldn't dream running a premier league football team with two idiots and a kit-man.
What the critical reviews don't get is that this does not appear to be the main focus of the show. The football club (cleverly or stupidly named AFC Richmond, depending on which part of London you pledge allegiance to) is only a side show.
To be fair, the series aims to capitalize on the increasing popularity of the world game in the USA, and is apparently leveraging off the stereotype of the 'yank out of his own depth stereotype'.
But the script is way more layered and subtle than the 'intelligence' bomb foisted on us a few weeks ago.
Sudeikis is an enjoyable lead in this series. My advice: don't try to stretch your luck too far. If executed without flaws, this concept might be worth one successful season. I enjoyed the first three episodes.
