Richard Cutcher found this job advert for England’s newly available coaching role:

16/7/10
WANTED! Junior Cone Administrator, London (salary negotiable – but definitely not good)

We are a global brand, specialising in reckless spending, knee-jerk reactions and secretary porking. Our offices are based in Wembley and offer excellent facilities including over-priced seating, slippery surfaces and dire Chelsea cup finals. The subsided canteen also offers an authentic Spaghetti Bolognese on request of management.

The company is currently seeking a token Englishman who will enthusiastically carry out duties ranging from car park attending to shrub watering. A knowledge of Italian swear words and the ability to recover from a right hook quickly is essential.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a complete lack of self esteem, a willingness to brown nose Italian pensioners and a true understanding that everything, literally everything, will be blamed on them. A FIFA badge would be useful, but in no way necessary. An ability to count cones is however, vital.

The role offers potential for no promotion whatsoever, but an almost certain appointment as manager of Shrewsbury Town within 3 years. Experience in scape-goatery is essential.

Applications can be sent to: Sir Trevor Brooking, Wembley National Stadium, Wembley,
London, HA9 0WS.
*Paul Gascoigne need not apply… Emile Heskey, don’t even f***ing think about it!
