I have just posted a letter to Milan Mandaric to formally apply for the vacant Leicester City job here is a copy of the letter

Dear Milan

I write this letter to you today to ask to be considered for the vancant Leicester City Football Club manager's job, I appreciate that you have never heard of me as I have no hands on experience of football management however I have over 17 years of experience on PC football management simulation games dating from championship manager 92-93 all the way through to football manager 2010. I appreciate that playing these games is by no means the same as managing a real life football team with a group of players all with different personalities that I would have to cater for, however it has taught me a large amount about tactics and scouting etc.
I appreciate that you will be looking for a manager with a lot more hands on experience than me but what I lack in experience I feel I more than make up for in passion and loyalty, I would also like to be considered in a trainee managers role working beside another manager learning the trade so that in the future I could take over and help to take the club back where it belongs.
In conclusion I wish you all the best in your search for a new manager and your quest to take Leicester City back to where it belongs

Yours sincerely

W J Walton

Leicester till I die



I just posted it recorded delivery
 
well. good passion, but putting it kindly, No chance in **** will you get this job.
 
lol serious?

if you get the job, i will shake your hand.
 
I applied for the Kiderminster Harriers job about 10 years ago, didn't get a reply but my heart wasn't in it, it is now
 
I remember somebody did one of these years ago, I think they sent to Middlesbrough or somewhere like that, they just listed everyone they had managed in FM.
 
This has happened before. A football manager addict applied for the Boro job when McLaren left for England. Steve Gibson also replied to his application.

Football Manager Fan Applied for Position Of Boro Manager ?
Wouldn't it be good if all that gaming experience could get you a proper job? You know, a proper one, not just writing about World of Warcraft patches and Chopin's Trusty Bell all day.

Well, that seems to be the thinking of a chap called John Boileau, who's spent hours playing Championship Manager and Football Manager - and reckons that qualifies him to be a real life football manager.

Boileau, whose fictional management experience includes stints at Liverpool, Real Madrid and Doncaster, wrote to Middlesborough FC to apply for the manager's job.

In his covering letter, Boileau notes that "The tactical side of football has always been very important to me, which is demonstrated through my success on the game Football Manager 2005." Apparently he took Nuneaton to new heights of success and won the Swedish League with Kalmar FF - but got sacked from Chievo Verona.

Boileau has a degree in geography and archaeology, and observes: "I hear Mark Viduka has a significant and considerable interest in 12th century pottery which would be an excellent starting point."

He also has plenty of practical experience of real football management, having guided the St Paul's Under-11s squad through Nuneaton's 1999 Summer Playscheme Cup. The team won, with each player receiving a £10 Whiteman's Sporting Goods voucher for their efforts.

But sadly, despite offering to work for a very reasonable starting salary of £80,000, Boileau's application was rejected by Middlesborough chairman Steve Gibson, who wrote back: "You were of course the outstanding candidate but after careful consideration we decided against your appointment.

"Quite frankly we were of the opinion that your tenure with us would have been short lived, as your undoubted talent would result in one of the big European Clubs seeking your services."
