text:  Thomas, I just signed for the LAS Dicks as the head coach. I need a cheap runner that can do all the dirty work for Cruyff. I got $1,000 a month for you, and you got to tell me yes or no. I remember you love the U.S. You don't have to backpack. I'm giving you a contract for a year. Wow. So I thought I was going for a short amount of time, a fun journey, and 45 years later, I'm still here. You're still there.
