One applicant helpfully reassured the Wolves board that he had experience with a "range of endangered species including apes, large carnivores and some hoof stock."
Another candidate simply listed his demands which included "£5,000 per week, a cool office which overlooks the pitch, maybe a company car, a few free tickets for my mates, and a modest transfer kitty of £20,000,000." A more modest applicant merely requested "a mirror so I can look at myself constantly and a kennel for my dog."
There was an application from a scout leader and an ASDA employee who wrote "'I am young, have no experience in the football field, and little to prove I can manage a football club. However, I believe I can do it" putting the concerns of Wolves supporters at ease.
There was even a joint application by two exciting young managers seeking to rekindle the glory of the Roy Evans-Gérard Houllier managerial duopoly model that achieved such success in the 1990s. They wrote "we met at university in October, 2010, and it was immediately clear that we shared an indefatigable zest for tactical progress and excellence in sporting performance. ***'s experience as a manager at John Lewis and ****'s as an assistant at Sainsbury's blends an ideal combination of leadership and organisational prowess." Owen Coyle stood no chance.
