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'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.

Historically, eggheads (no pun) have a better chance at Ewood.

Are you willing to go bald for the cause?
