A MICKEY-taking Burnley fan who applied for the manager’s job at arch-rivals Blackburn Rovers has been shortlisted.

James McDonagh got an email promising an interview even though his CV cheekily vowed to achieve “back-to-back relegation”. James, 30, a customer services manager for a business consultants, made his joke application after the Championship strugglers sacked Michael Appleton, the third manager this season.

He said: “They’re a bit of a joke club at the minute and I thought I could probably do better than their last few appointments. I wasn’t expecting to get shortlisted but Blackburn’s owners are known for their barmy decisions.”

James’s CV said he was qualified for the job because he once coached a Sunday league side — and is an avid fan of the Football Manager computer game. His reply came from Shebby Singh, “global adviser” of Blackburn’s Indian owners Venky’s. It said: “Having checked your application and your credentials from your CV, we would like to shortlist you for the vacancy. We formally invite you to interview.”

I'm half-expecting Blackburn to end up in non-league football.

Assuming it's even real in the first place (remember, this is The Sun we're talking about here), it's more than likely to meet some transparency quota which they were in danger of missing because absolutely fucking nobody wants to take it on.
