30+ doesn't surprise me as there are plenty of out of work Manager's, ex-pro's looking for a first shot at management, coaches looking for a first management job all of whom will think that they can be the one who can turn our fortune's around and are desperate enough to give it a go.

Dont forget that those 30+ wont necessary be British either
They 'should' have a proactive approach - establish a blue print of what they want in a manager and go to the market with a list of managers they have researched/targeted.
I reckon the net could be cast very wide for that job. Meaning, there will be plenty of chancers applying and not many real managers/coaches. You might even find someone, young and ambitious who fancies a leg up in football because he has studied players on YouTube and has worked out a system of sorts for selection. A progressive owner might think this fresh blue sky thinking is worth a punt for 16 games or so.

Or to earn money to pay mortgage with a nice payout after a couple of months...

Joking aside, it may be the best thing we can do to hire Thomas Driesen. If he is the football genius that we are told he is, he will definitely get us promoted. He actually will have a say in the transfers as he does them already. Finally when he fails because he is useless we may finally be rid of the guy.
There are plenty of other ways of looking at the job. Anyone who has confidence in his own abilities might see it as a great challenge and an opportunity to prove it and manage their relationship with an absent owner. As long as they are happy with the remuneration, T's & C's and their management abilities they might think that if they can turn this around, and prove their worth, then their market value will increase and their career will be improved...if they succeed. Its always a bit of risk when you take on any new new job - you really need someone who is brave enough to take on the complete challenge of the team, management, fan engagement and aim for success on the pitch to have any chance of success. IMO.
Sign me up. As a chef by trade I can guarantee the quality and quantity of the match day chips will improve. Our squad may look a bit more rotund after a couple of months but they couldn't be much slower than they already are.
You'd easily get 30 managers applying for the job. Get yourself a 2 year contract, and even if you get sacked (or rather when you get sacked) that's 2 year's salary to pay the bills.
There are loads of out of work managers and coaches out there, ones that never got a job or lost their last job and never got back into the professional game. Plus there will be the senior pros looking for their first job.
It's not as if updating your CV and cover letter takes much effort!
Means nothing. I have a friend that has been applying for every vacant manager's job for years. Knows nothing about football coaching and was nearly as bad a player as me, and I was terrible. In fact he works in computers.

Let's be honest here, I doubt that their would be over 30 managers out there that would work for the shower that is currently "running" our club.
Anyway, that's only an hours work for Daisy

No plan
Ask Chris Wilder or Steve Evans (if that is true).

A good 10-15 of those applications were probably done in crayon and based on experience in Championship Manager

I think he might get an interview for this job!
