Football club seriously regrets posting a job opening on Twitter
LONDON — If you post a job opportunity to Twitter, you'd best be very, very cautious with your listing.
Or, as Altrincham FC discovered, you risk being trolled mercilessly by your followers.

The semi-professional club based out of the Manchester, UK area is evidently looking to fill a manager role.
However, it appears that the organisation has found it necessary to specify that experience playing either the Football Manager or Championship Manager video games will not be sufficient.
Please note, CV's for the vacant manager role must not be based on FM or CM achievements.

An understandable requirement, but nonetheless a devastating one.
Some fans were crushed.

Yikes... no publicity is bad publicity? If that's true, at least they'll have that role filled in no time.
