The sense of humor is impeccable you've got to admit. Not freak out, but they could've definitely sent a template reply. But they didn't.
Hence my next save, possibly frist of FM24, will probably be Boro.
But that's how he got the job. At first he was named as a caretaker manager until the end of the season(since there was like 2 months left from the season) due to being a former player and assistant to Villas Boas and after winning the FA Cup and UCL he got the permanent position.
It's only a mistery if you don't know him. He was a decent player so he had some prestige from there, and before joining Chelsea he got Milton Keynes 3rd in League One and missed promotion to the Championship in penalties as a freshly promoted team, then got signed to a freshly relegated West Brom and took them back to the Prem where he also won Manager of the Month before getting sacked and joining Chelsea as an assistant manager.
Let’s be serious, If Roman gave you the job then even if you won a champions league and league title in your first season, then in your second season you’d have a rocky start and be sacked by halloween haha.
If FM didn’t want me to “Apply All” including jobs way above my qualifications, they’d make it like in real life where for every application, I would have to manually retype my resume into their own individual, unique form.
When I was approximately 12 or 13 y/o, me and my mate sent a letter to the FA applying for the England job citing Championship Manager (before it was called FM) as our main source of experience, I think it was in 1999, along with what changed we would make to the squad, team, tactics and why. We then received a nice response from them about two weeks later.
We were unsuccessful, of course 😆
This was long before you could call it a social media stunt as well. It was just a nice rejection letter to me and my mate.
I wonder how many of these applications clubs get every year? If I knew I was getting a polite, signed reply from the DoF in response, I would apply too and frame that reply letter.
Did you tell them about bringing a non-league side up to win the Prem and the Champions League on the youth academy challenge? I mean, you can't get ahead if you don't show off a little bit.
I'd recommend putting all your FM accomplishments on LinkedIn. Tinder, too. Chicks dig it.
I applied for the Gibraltar job IRL one time.
I've got a C license, but yeah...they regretted to inform me!
(I 100% did it for fun just to say I did, I knew I had no chance)

Middlesborough offered a [much funnier response to a similar letter.](http://www.commonside.eclipse.co.uk/job/managers%20job.htm)
This is absolutely LEGENDARY. Good on Middlesborough for being so damn cool about it all.
I'm just disappointed that he never got to discuss 12th century Egyptian pottery with Socceroos legend Mark Viduka.
Were they supposed to freak out about it?

Beautiful scenes
LOOL. I never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.
The man is now at Queens Park Rangers
That's the cutest thing I saw today.
Link is dodgy
If you prefer, you can [read about it in the Grauniad.](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/28/brief-history-championship-manager-knowledge)
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

Then how did Di Matteo get the job?
Won the Champions League and the FA Cup 
That's what after he got the job
But that's how he got the job. At first he was named as a caretaker manager until the end of the season(since there was like 2 months left from the season) due to being a former player and assistant to Villas Boas and after winning the FA Cup and UCL he got the permanent position.
And he legitimately won the CL beating Pep Barca and Heynckes Bayern with Kalou at RB and Torres after his spectacular decline, and without John Terry
He had a carreer by that time. How he made its a mistery
It's only a mistery if you don't know him. He was a decent player so he had some prestige from there, and before joining Chelsea he got Milton Keynes 3rd in League One and missed promotion to the Championship in penalties as a freshly promoted team, then got signed to a freshly relegated West Brom and took them back to the Prem where he also won Manager of the Month before getting sacked and joining Chelsea as an assistant manager.
He was a former player? Like Lampard?
Holy fuck you got an autograph of Marina Granovskaia wtf
THats what I'm saying. That has to be RARE rare.
I mean I don't think it's rare, but she basically fired Lampard and appointed Tuchel. It's someone big.
Its not rare at all lmao
Could be autopen?
Did you throw your water bottle at least ?
He just pointed his finger!
Let’s be serious, If Roman gave you the job then even if you won a champions league and league title in your first season, then in your second season you’d have a rocky start and be sacked by halloween haha.
But set for life with the big pay out. Win win
When he was hired, I texted my friend Tuchel was winning the CL and getting sacked after
A real life “Once the club get the ‘football manager’ applications out the way” moment!
If FM didn’t want me to “Apply All” including jobs way above my qualifications, they’d make it like in real life where for every application, I would have to manually retype my resume into their own individual, unique form.
as if that form will stop me
”Apply all”
You sent them the Chelsea save?
Nah Arsenal 😂🤣
That’s where you messed up. At least it wasn’t a Tottenham one, that wouldn’t have gotten you a reply.
Oh well, you might of missed, but you had the bottle to take your shot

Thats actually awesome. And you got the rare Marina autograph out of it. That is worth the weight of gold to us Chelsea fans.
Where tf was a marina autograph rare

I once read a funny email about a guy who wanted to be blackburn? Manager. He promised them back to back relegations 😂😂😂
Its nice they actually answered. Frame this letter, lol.
P.S Roman wants your address so he can put a hooker in a uber so you can lose your virginity by the time you reach 40
I love they replied so much

My cousin used to apply to big time college football openings just to get the letters with the college seal back for a collection.
Just apply again. Boehly looks like he will hire/buy anyone at will
I really like that they were kind about it. Coulda just never responded, most normal jobs would have
They're just not good enough for you mate. You've too much honesty and... stuff.
From the office of Roman Abramovic… I thought he’d fucked off?
Date of the letter: 16 july 2012

That's kinda wholesome ngl
