We'll play possession soccer as it has not failed us in the last few years. Wrexham shall stay the course on it's youth oriented style. (C and D) Also I just realized my slogan (the last sentence in the ad) is very easy to be misconstrued but I like it.

[INT. Night.]

JUSTIN BAILEY is in a darkened sports hall in the middle distance, picked out by a spotlight. He's playing keep-up with an odd-shaped ball, pulling off athletic moves to bounce the ball off knee, shoulder, chest and head as often as off his feet. The only sounds come from his amazing ball-work. As we close in, he lobs the ball into the darkness. Another spot picks up MATEO MUJKIC, who charges into the lob with a roar. He taps it back up into the air as we swoop in towards him, and then slips into a spinning roundhouse kick. The ball seems to almost hang in the air as he whips round to hammer it. Just before impact, the camera zooms in to clearly show that it is, in fact, the severed head of Man City manager PATRICK PATTISON.

Pattison's head flies through the air in a shimmer of lightning. Tall iron braziers flame to show the head smashing into an eight-foot-tall pyramid of severed heads. Many of the faces are painted with Tackleford colours on their cheeks. A blood-red throne sits atop the mound, snarling Welsh dragons its arms. Seated within it, managerial candidate GHOSTWOODS glowers out at the camera.

A golden slogan in a simple, sans-serif font fades in over the screen:
WREXHAM

A moment later, the rest of the slogan appears below it:
TOTAL CONQUEST

[Fade to black]

Style: II

Policy: A, D.
