There are a lot of odd decisions made in football - but few odder, perhaps, than accepting a job with a team that does not exist.
Yet that is exactly the challenge facing former Norwich City, Luton Town and Swansea City midfielder Adrian Forbes, the first sporting director of Texoma FC.
The 45-year-old gave up a job as lead coach at Luton's academy to move to a club in the United States with no players.
Texoma have a place in USL League One for next season and Forbes not only has to find players for the team - but now has the dual responsibility of being head coach.
