Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye.

People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly.

England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines.

However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. 

Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed.

'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.”

but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. 

It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!

On the third floor of Maddox Capital's London office, the trading center was as noisy as ever, filled with the constant ringing of telephones and the sharp voices of traders shouting orders into their receivers.


"The CEO of a Japanese IT company called SoftBank is requesting a meeting."


Richard looked up, surprised. "For what reason?"


"From the materials they sent, it appears they want to acquire our Yahoo shares."


Hearing this, Richard immediately realized that history was unfolding exactly as he knew it would. Masayoshi Son had approached Yahoo's founders back in 1996, and Richard was well aware of that. He never imagined, however, that they would now come hunting for his shares as well.


"How much is our current Yahoo stake?" Richard asked calmly. "And at what valuation?"


"Yahoo is currently valued at forty billion dollars," the aide replied. "SoftBank is offering to acquire our entire position."
