A wealthy Luxembourgian investor (and huge FM fan) has decided he is tired of today's generation of managers. He has taken it upon himself to set up his own league, the Football Managers Invitational League, and is looking for the best of the best of an unknown crop of managers. This is where you come in. An invitation has been extended to you to submit a resum? for his consideration, to take control of a team in this newly formed competition.
There will, however, be rules. Each manager will be allocated a 23-man squad, and enough balance to cover the running of the squad/club for a year. There will be no transfer budget for the first season, but prize money will be huge. Each club will be allocated a standard 20,000 seater stadium, and good facilities, which may be improved upon. The investor does ask, however, that each manager name their own club and stadium, as well as have some input into kit design.
Basically guys, I'm looking for people to take up this fantasy league, as a manager rather than a player, and see how they fare with a random squad. I'll be using the FUThead (FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Squad Builder & FUT 14 Database | Futhead) random player generator to make up the squads, so they're all relatively well-matched, allocating each team as follows:
5 Gold standard players
10 Silver
8 Bronze
It will all be completely random, so there is the distinct possibility that someone will get Messi, or someone else might get a team of CB's and no keeper
What I need from you guys is some manager stats, which ideally I'd like using the following template (which I've filled in with my own details):

I know it's a lot to fill out, but I feel if I can get a decent number of what will become talented managers into the game, then it'll make for an exciting story I can relay back to you guys. I already have the league and cup system basically set up, now it'd be great if I could just fill it out with some teams!
Hope you guys are into this, I'll look to get your squad generated as soon as I can after each submission.
