May I be the Yank that buys into the lower League?
Give me Stevenage FC in League 2.
First order of business is to increase the capacity from 7,100 to 10,000.
Well you got that right.
Only one club to manage and only one poster fit to do so.
Have you been passing brown paper bags around TG ?
what have West Ham done to deserve me?
..oh yes, I remember :031:

I want to be a manager lol
I could live with that but for one thing, The Bloody accent :dft007: I was also Wandsworth road Granada yoyo champion under 10 in 1958 so that makes me more than qualified
...I am a hopeless football tactician and as such am very grateful for being given blackburn rovers so that I can relegate the miserable bunch of cheats - could I possibly therefore also manage wet spam too..?
fine choice finny, you know me too well :045:

Got you down for Crawley Town, that OK?
As the bitter ex manager I would still be going around making statements in the press about being given more time. Basically it is my team and the success they are finding now is down to me. OR the reason they are still doing badly is that I was never given a chance to put my ideas into action and I would by now have improved the side. Sheffti Kushi was my star player and would have had a good partnership with The Mongolian striker they have now.

I agree, you can have the manager's job, as long as I can be the team physio as it is all I know. :wink:
Why can't I have Arsenal? I can whine and moan in a French accent far better than Corked Hat. Oh, all right then, I'm willing to be his assistant manager as long as I can do the TV interviews from time to time. Merci beaucoup.
P.S Great thread this. You don't have to volunteer JUST to be manager. Lots of other fun jobs in management of various clubs. You'll have to justify why you deserve the job though.

Ha ha ha Fox. But can you toss a tambourine?
Who of the managers is planning to have exquisite dinners, long lunch breaks and loads of good wine? If so, I am up for a position as assistant-manager (as long as I can come). :wine:
Note that I speak four languages "fluently" and I get along very well with Dutchmen :022:

Mr Sipwell,
Given your excellent knowledge and great early posts on a certain Belgian Fulham talent, you'd be the perfect scout for any of the teams :wine:
I suppose, with all my years of experience, you are saving me as manager of England?
For Fulham I would suggest the following replacements for positions within the club:
White Noise - Press office/Communications manager
Fred - Head of catering
HD - Half time entertainment co-ordinator :HD:
The Daddy - Youth team/U16's
LB - Halftime/scores announcer (no mic. required)
CH/Peabody/Fernhurst - Guest speakers

Mr Peabody,
It was either that or Sir Trevor's job, but given your integrity it has to be England. Very good shout.
However, you do know you will have to develop a foreign accent first
Once we've all taken these positions, we could visit Mr. Gold Coast White every time his side is playing at home. After all, there'd be plenty of seats available for every member of FofF, wife/husband, children, pets, neighbors ... .
I have clearly been fired from my previous managerial stint which is why I don't figure in this list but as my contract was for 5 years and I was only 1 month in to the job then I can put my feet up for a bit, wait until Derby get promoted, and then take them back down in a blaze of glory.

Excellent call Mr Jim.
I think we can add:
Head of Stewards: Logicalman
Live Broadcasting (Gentleman Jim) Home: Corked Hat
Live Broadcasting (Gentleman Jim) Away: Lighthouse
Head of ticket office: Admin
Mr Peabody on his way to Lancaster Gate, note the likeness to the present incumberant

Rest assured Finn, English was never my strong point.
I'd have thought you'd have put yourself down for your beloved Red Scousers Finny :hook:
I don't care what position you offer Mr Peabody, but as his agent I demand 10% payable in cash in a brown envelope. :yay:

Absolutely not, we are all family. I just ran out of teams in the Prem.
However, as you have previously so eloquently indicated, I do have you down as the designated Fulham driver to expedite the transfer of some of the dead wood and dross on the roster starting this January. Fill up loads of petrol because there will have to be a trip all the way to Scandinavia with a man named after a tree disease, a mummy's boy and a man that aptly rhymes with poor...
Can't i have a job, after all i did spend 8 years working for Fulham, i would be quite good as kit man

Shocks,
How could I forget that Mr Alfie? I get a big :yellow: for that. Apologize for that.
The Fulham kit man it is. :clap_hands:
Speaking of the past, anyone remember what happened to the long haired chap at the Cottage? I think he was the groundsman or something. Always looked like he had smoked a bit of this and that.

The long haired Hippy (Steve McGee??? could be tottally wrong on the name though) was a wrong un of the worst kind. I sold my school dinner tickets for three weeks to go to Notts County away as a young 14/15 year old, after the game i managed to pilfer a bottle of wine from Nottingham station, that long haired ponce snatched it off the table on the train whilst scoffing at the two of us.If he'd have the bottle to do that two years later he'd have got a very game 16/17 year old steaming into him. Is there an international hand signal smilie for a solo pleasurer? :014:
I have sent my CV to hundreds of Clubs, but without much luck. :016:
I strongly believe that the unique healing powers of strong farmyard cider have a place at every football club. Particularly in The Premiership, where just the slightest extra percentage (proof!) can make a difference.
I had a good couple of weeks at Yeovil, :wine: where I thought they really knew their stuff. Of course, that all ended with that mis-understanding with the bosses wife and her twin sister.
So I guess I'm after the position of 'water boy', if there is such a thing, with just a hint of apple and alcohol.
give me tottenham..go on i dare you :014: :014:

....................................................steve magee now works for harlequins rugby league...........
I am very happy with Arsenal. They have tradition, class, they are Londoners and in spite of their current location started life, like I did, south of the Thames.
I am not sure, however, that I want Silver Fox and his weird Gallic gastronomic tastes to influence my players, so the chances of him being my assistant manager are zero.
Asking my Brazilian superstars to sit down to a feed of snail porridge fritters with frog intestine soup and a plate of a failed Grand National runner is no way to prepare them for a big match.
So sorry, Mr Fox, but I am sure that PSG or some other team in that vicinity will welcome you with open arms.
I would have to be Lowestoft Town, strictly non league but content with my lot.
I appear to have been sent to Coventry...
Again, no one considers the most loyal Fulham man in LA. :tom:
I am indeed heart broken.
Perhaps I could chaufer the wives & girlfriends of the team members.

Judging by the Food thread on the exile section, I do believe we have an opening in the Motspur kitchen for an executive chef. In fact, why don't we throw in Silver Fox and we can film an episode of Hells Kitchen every week on top for some extra revenue. :dft012:

Oh buggrit... I was going to bring my own cheese too, but of course, I'd get my sausages from the Fredster.
Finnster, on the offal many moons ago, White Witch and I had a thread going, thinking of a complete Black and White menu. We got quite creative. I think it could be fun to give that a run again on here, one rainy autumn day.
I'd like to officially nominate JC as the kit designer for the whole Premiership.
Oh and Skaman can be the Fulham badger... no special reason, I just think he'd be good at it.
Wadey would be a good official Fulham reporter. With all the whoppers he tells us about his fishing exploits, I'm sure he'd make us brilliant every week whether we win or lose.
Mr Finnster sir, is there a vacancy for someone to look after the Bodog girls? I would be great at that.
:004:
As im now with the under 16s at Fulham there is an opening for a manager at Stoke ...Thank god its medieval up there lads sisters, brothers and all that and if you go out don't open your mouth they hate us southern boys as my fists can tell many a time i've been in a boozer and been accosted by a half breed burks and its not an age thing even the old boys have a go.
Reading the posts of this thread reminded me of the FoF Fulham starting XI thread that was so hilarious! We had everyone getting out of the first team so they could help the FO in some capacity...
Great stuff!
