My son (UK commercials film producer - yeah you've seen the ads on TV, like that car that skates) and I (UK national journo/author/ gob on legs broadcaster/ PHD student) , have been trying to come up with the kind of ad which would attract a manager to LCFC. We're flummoxed. And between us we have three First Class degrees,one of those an Oxford Double First, which we could plead counts for two? But we're not pushing that.
Anyway, here's the challenge that we've been unable to resolve between us.
What on earth would attract any footie manager to come here (apart from money)?
The job spec is clear - do what MM says or be sacked without notice. Allow MM full rein. Don't talk back. Have personality, but don't have gonads. Agree that MM's money talks, and you can't talk back. Come up with a masterplan to get a team that has never played together, working together, and get them into the Prem in 7 months. Find a role for the disaffected - like Matty Fryett, and the bad buys - and do we really have to name them all.......
How would you frame this ad, so that someone other than CW would take the money and DO the job?
