I would like to apply for the vacant position at Arsenal Experience
Preston North End
Season one - I inherited a club who had only just come out of administration and had been stripped of its good players to clear the clubs debts. Despite having an unbalanced squad and no investment I managed to make a number of good signings both on permanent deals and on loan. We finished the season reaching the playoff finals beating Sunderland the pre season favourites to be champions in the semi - finals
Real Mallorca
Season two - I took over a team who had just been relegated from La Ligue finishing bottom with only one win. I was asked by the board to achieve immediate promotion back to the top flight. Despite tough competition from a number of clubs particularly a Levante side who had been given substantial financial backing we finished the season as champions also reaching the quarter finals of the domestic cup only narrowly losing to Barcelona
Season three - This season saw the club return to La Ligue. Having massively struggled the last time they were in the top flight the board requested that I ensure the club retained there top flight status. After a difficult first half of the season performances picked up in the second half of the season with the club avoiding relegation by finishing 9th.
Season four - This season has seen the club move on again with a good start to season. The club has steered clear of the relegation worries of last season and with just two games to go until the half season point the club finds itself in 8th place. The clubs recent good form including good away wins against Valencia and Espanyol means things are looking good this season with a mid table target as requested by the board a more than achievable aim.
Strengths
- I have a proven track record in the transfer market managing to attract top players to both clubs I have managed with little to no investment.
- I have proved record of meeting targets and have never failed to meet a target set at Mallorca.
- I have four years experience managing on the game and have built a good number of contacts in the game, enjoying strong links to a number of clubs.
Nice to see so much enthusiasm but Jamie's only offered his resignation - the Arsenal Chairman hasn't accepted it yet! So possibly a bit quick off the mark?
