Deník predicted that it would most likely be a move in the spirit of a bizarre club presentation. The estimate was correct, which was confirmed by the first video entry on the club’s social network, in which Ferenc introduced himself to all the fans. But the effort for more than three funny minutes didn’t work out very well. Ferenc, who was not afraid to talk dirty in the post, took it seriously in the comments.
What did he say? The newspaper pulled a few quotes from the attached video.
“Thank you for the opportunity. It has always been my dream to be the press officer of a club that plays in the third division. I just want to say that if you work hard, dreams will come true.”
“I also want to introduce new faces. For example, Viktoria Kubáňová, a new member of the board of directors. He will be responsible for contact with sponsors. Are you wondering who it is? She is a hairdresser from Ústí nad Labem. How did she get to that position? You can tell by the last name that she is the wife of the owner.”
“On Friday, we beat Živanice 3:0. I am sorry that moderator Táňa did not bring the traditional post-match reviews. But it is not important that we beat Živanice 3:0. Nobody cares. The post-match interviews were pointless.”

Fans evaluated Ferenc’s monologue, which was meant to be funny and entertaining, in the overwhelming majority of negative reviews. “What can I say about that? You really decided that if it’s a circus, then with everything,” it was said, for example. “I don’t even know what to say anymore… except that it’s working there now, at least in terms of sports, because everything around is disastrous,” continued another. “Disaster, horror, terror. When he messed up, he messed up,” added another of his views on the matter.
But there were also positive reactions. “Great Dan, I hope you get it going,” praised one of the commenters.
The management of the Ústí football club by engaging Ferenc and, above all, lining up his contributions, only confirmed that he intends to continue to present himself in a carousel style. It is a question of how this style, on the edge of taste and morality, is liked by the city management, which puts public money into football.
