I'm sure we can arrange some great references for you, rejected.

As the sole applicant I'm putting a couple of squid on ya.
Could you please eat a pie in the dugout for your first match and I'll make it a double?
All winnings to charity.

Will this do for you?
"Rejected" has excellent football knowledge. He is in regular correspondence with all the leading football clubs in England (and in Europe ?). He has already been considered for a number of key management posts.
He is great at building a strong camaraderie among all his contacts. He has been known to use humour to build relationships and get the very best from his team.
He is familiar with all the usual football formations: 4-4-2, 3-5-1, diamonds etc. His tactics are flexible. He's had great success with 5-5-4-2 (there's nothing wrong with "strength in numbers").
--------------
I'm sure you get the idea...
Of course, you'd need a well known name to sign the reference.
There are many on here who will have better suggestions than I can think of right now.

i was watching Mike Bassett, this afternoon, and thought of you, Rejected.
Now you need to get some revision started on Wovers, so put down the marking. Or are you on halfterm?

I would genuinely love to know how many people on this board have downloaded the book!!
Would genuinely interest me, my belief is that apart Fromm Sunderlands board this hase been the best one, in fact it could have been better than Sunderland even!!

I've put a £10 double on you getting the Blackburn managers' job and eating a pie at your first press conference.

I'm sorry rejected but I don't think you will get the job.
A proven history of failure is a necessary qualification for consideration. On the other hand, you have successfully failed to get any of the other jobs you have applied for. Not sure that would be sufficient failure to be worthy of short-listing though.

I've down loaded it and about 2/3's of the way through it.
I started off well, but I've got 4/5 books on the go and I flit between them depending on my mood.

I'm starting to have doubts,Mik. Rejected comes across as quite an honest bloke. This will never do!
PS. Rejected, got it on kindle. 3/4 through then I'll do the review you were asking for.

Got to be some chicken based approach you can go for without them realising
You're going to
- give the players free range to express themselves
- lay it on the line
- work around the cluck
- pluck them from their precarious position
- relieve them of the pox that has descended upon Ewood
Plus of course you have the benefit of living in Yolkshire
etc etc

When you get the job Rejected, on your first press conference just eat several pies and don't say anything, they will think you are a genius.

Rejected - You do know that if you get the job, you're going to have to try and take them down the leagues? Are you ready for such a challenge?

I have the plans still at hand which I had drawn up for my impending appointment at Newcastle, before Rafaulation came and stole my gig. I'll use those plans!!

All you need to do is just show the blank part of the page with the reference and ask Sean for his autograph. Sorted

Historically, eggheads (no pun) have a better chance at Ewood.
Are you willing to go bald for the cause?
