York City really should have known better by now…
The League Two club have opened up their current manager’s job vacancy to the public and invited applications for the successor of Russ Wilcox.

It started with a feeler.

@yorkcityfc I just took Portsmouth back to the premier league on #FIFA16 without using the club takeover option. Surely enough?
