Right before i start my application for this job i am aware that i have only been back in the game a short time and that in most circumstances this application would not be here but i will explain my reasons why i am applying for the job and hopefully no one will make any rude comments etc.cheers guys.
I wish to apply for the vacant position at West Bromwich Albion, i have expirience of the game before i arrived here at Bristol City and although i realise that i have only been at the club a short time i must apply for this job. With the greatest of respect to Bristol City i would not have applied for any other job than this one, the only reason i am applying for this is that quite simply i am a huge West Bromwich Albion fan and have been since childhood having had a home and away season ticket since the age of 12 and having worked in both the club shop and ticket office as a teenager i know the club inside out.
My plans for the club would be to firstly finish in the top 6 and provide a continuation to the stability that has already been achieved by the previous manager(s), secondly i would look at ways to expand the club and make them into a genuine Premiership force to be reckoned with, with the view of european qualification within 2 seasons. Off the field i would continue with the clubs policy of not over spending and bringing in good solid quality players and not just those who will be squad fillers. I feel that i could achieve alot with a club i hold so dear to my heart.
I would like to say to Bristol Citys fans and board that i do not qish to upset them in any way but West Bromwich Albion are a club i would never turn down and never leave so i hope that the board and fans especially can understand that for a fan of a club the chance to manage the side would be huge.
To West Bromwich Albion's board i would say that given the chance i will take the club on and continue on the previous success, the alternative is that the club sits where they are with no manager and that would be tragic to see all the excellent work already done on the club go to waste.
I hope my fellow managers understand how much this would mean to me and that i can get the chance to manage such a club.
Many Thanks

Good luck mate, It's clear to see why you went for the job. Feel sorry as hell for you though being a WBA fan but I guess managing the team of your dreams would be some consolation lol.
Hope you get it mate, as you say you would be better than no manager and you won't go anywhere with Bristol City without money or a few better players.
Only teasing. Good luck mate. Similar applications here when the Cardiff job goes up as theres lots of us Bluebirds here. Allways nice to see managers in the club they support.
