Firstly, its a shame there isn't a tag for sports VN's because I like those and this is the second football focused VN I've enjoyed. Secondly, this one actually shows a lot more promise compared to the other I read previously. However, another sports VN comes to mind too that focused on basketball and the one thing I feel let that one down was the amount of girls the mc has as LI's which drew away the attention of the dev's working more on them instead of focusing on the story.
Hester's use of Eric Cantona's comment during his press conference after he fly kicked a racist supporter during a match makes me wonder if she'll be as hot headed as he was. During that time many footballers suffered such comments and even worse. I remember one match from back then where the supporters threw actual banana's at Paul Ince whom I believe was also a Manchester United player back then too. He also suffered similar issues when he played in Italy in serie A but never flew off the handle like Cantona did.
As for the issue with the stadium needing repairs, hopefully it's just a financing issue and the story will focus on that. I really do hope that's the intention and not using the Hillsborough stadium incident as a basis for that part of the story.
