i would like to formally apply for the vacant managers position at west brom. as a team who are on the fringes of the premier league they, as a club, match my personal ambitions as a manager.

a 10 match unbeaten run at my current club southampton, which was only ended by an excellent watford side, has brought southampton on the edge of promotion. i have brought an exciting, attacking style of play to southampton that i would look to keep if i was successful in this application.

if successful, i hope to unite the fans in the possibility of premiership football, and bring with it the type of style that will had the midlands talking!
