Bugger! I was just about to apply but have failed the very last requirement.

I've been married for 30 odd years.

[GazLaz]

I wonder what the going rate is for a job like that. A pittance I suspect.

[BillyStubbsTears]

“Skills required” is missing the bit on moaning incessantly about the budget.

Bloody shite Bramhall.

Which budget, the Rovers one or the Tory government one?

is that bit legal ?? batchelor  doesnt say how many anoraks you need to have in your wardrobe

i was going to propose rigo for the job

doesnt say you need a driving licience by the way

no good gaz applying as he wouldn't be allowed to bet knowing inside information about injuries etc

£20k p/a tops I'd guess. Ridiculous really given the wish list of what they want but all football clubs are the same when it comes to being tight with non-playing staff, but expecting the world.

I’m sure that it will be substantially more than £20k

[DonnyOsmond]

I've seen coach jobs down as £7,000 PA and wanting the person applying to have a bachelor's.

I'd expect it to be a employers market, there will be hundreds if not thousands of people dreaming of being a football league analyst. Therefore wages limited.

[RedJ]

Even the back office non-football staff wages aren't brilliant there. Though it's the same at any club.

[DonnyNoel]

Football clubs can bank on the prestige of fans wanting to work for them. I've seen some jobs advertised between £10k-£15k for entry level marketing positions that have so many responsbilities that it must be questionable if the salary hits minimum wage when hours are factored in.

Your application would probably not have been processed.

[MachoMadness]

The vast majority of the money has to go on the pitch, same as every club. I imagine if we were putting out an advert for a £50k a year analyst job people would raise eyebrows and ask why that didn't go into the playing budget. People apply for jobs like this because it's a good springboard for a career in just about anything though.

I think 30 years effectively qualifies you.

They couldn't have been full-time positions Donny, as that figure is less than half the minimum wage.

[graingrover]

What I pray is  an undergraduate degree If you have a degree you have graduated if not yet you are an undergraduate.Or has that part of Academia gone to the dogs as well.
