What if Martinez goes to Everton and then Jackett moves to Wigan?

And then Sir Alex goes to Millwall?

Ha ha ha.

Re: Manager of Millwall FC position

I am writing to apply for the position of Football Manager, as advertised recently on a poster in a back alley somewhere in Docklands.

I am a confident and capable football manager with four years experience as manager of The Red Lion in the London and Kent Border League.

In my present role, I meet the challenge of a very difficult situation managing players who are invariably half drunk every Sunday morning and 'very much up for a fight.' Many of my players are, like the majority of people involved at Millwall, ex-criminals and violent thugs. On non-matchdays I fulfill extra roles such as overseeing work programs, transport to and from players' community service, and restraint on 'are you dissing me / come here and say that' situations. The role demands that I recognise potentially high-risk situations and find a solution before they escalate – or, if they do escalate, deal with them swiftly and appropriately.

Throughout my football management experience, I have endeavoured to perform my duties with professionalism and diligence. Impartial and fair, I am commended for my cool-headed and diplomatic approach to player and supporter conflicts. I am comfortable using force to apprehend or immobilise spectators or opposition players, but only as a last resort, or if they are taking the piss.

I am physically fit, with time out of work spent pursuing sporting interests. A few decades ago, for example, I organised many of the most infamous rucks with that Inter City mob scum from across the river.

I have since obtained an NVQ in Corrections Practice. I also possess an enduring interest in crime and criminology generally. This interest led me to read a book about Criminology and Criminal Justice this year.

My resume is attached and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further.

Kind regards,

Mr X

What is it about Jackett that makes him so likeable? I'm not saying this in a combative sense - because I'm firmly in the same camp. In fact, him leaving the spanners has made me doubly happy - because not only does it instantly raise the chances of them sinking without trace next season, but I can also now dispel the tiny feeling of dirtiness I have every time I see him being interviewed and liking how he comes across and what he says. I can't ever remember someone so closely associated with those turds being so warmly appreciated by us - so what exactly is it about him that makes him such a top bloke?

Marc Bircham now favourite to take over, must admit I had to look him up as I'd never heard of him. Doesn't look to have much experience I must say

QPR youth coach! hahahaha - 2 bob club

i really think this is the start of a tailspin into oblivion for them and i predict right now, they will not exist in 5 years time as they do now - in that stadium, in the championship - they will be league 1 or 2 in a groundshare somewhere - as long as it ain't with us, that will be superb - it keeps the sh*t filter working but only just.

Would be a great management appointment......

Dyche will do well for them unfortunately

Is dyche a done deal yet?

Dyche is at Burnley, isn't he?

yes, but by all accounts they have money issues..............so could be a goer.

Maybe he wants to move down South again for personal reasons (property/family still down here from his Watford days?) but it's hardly a step up, football wise. At least Burnley have made the PL :-)
