But fitness coach Dr. Kaskar has designs on the job too. The wheeling and dealing begins, and Terry and Kaskar begin to resemble Obama and Clinton in their attempts to lobby Ashburn United owner Sandra Farrell. 03 Episode 3 Episode 34th September 2008 The dishy Frenchman Raymond Mercier is appointed as coach, much to the delight of Debbie who immediately sees romantic possibilities, but to the dismay of Terry and Kaskar. Yet more dismay is to follow, however, as Vincent Farrell, Sandra's husband and the local undertaker, informs his wife they are unable to sponsor the Ashes' trip to Birmingham. It looks like the long-awaited trip will have to be cancelled unless Terry can raise the funds in time. 04 Episode 4 Episode 411th September 2008 Terry McConnell is hell bent on the Bolton scout coming to run the rule over Malky.

Terry half-heartedly joins in the search for the money, but he's more concerned with the whereabouts of Bolton scout Geoff Hinchcliffe, who still hasn't turned up to see Malky play. 06 Episode 6 Episode 625th September 2008 Terry hijacks his boss's car and speeds back home to plead with Bolton scout Hinchcliffe to watch Malky play in Birmingham.
