Subject: [NT Marco van Basten]
To be honest, i think it's a good job for Malta if there would be a Maltese BC. I also recommend this in the Netherlands. Otherwise, i think i can make the difference in tactical view, but that's up to you people.
nice targets....not unrealistic and can be reached if things planned well.
actually my first year as NT coach was very difficlut until you get used to the setup and how things work since you are not used to play against such high class managers every week. However you learn a lot and the sucessful season we (because i have my staff as well :) ) had in U21 was due to a lot of time on sokker :P studying your opponent by watching a lot of his matches and try to find the leakages in his tactics and defend against his strenghts. I guess i told you nothing new :P
I like the fact that you agree that tactics are crutial especially in NT level and being a defensive manager myself I like the fact that you give priority to have a strong defense. Surely what malta does not lack is a GK we have 2 divine and 1 uneartly keeper so between the poles that is not a problem at all.

i'm aware it takes time to study opponents, it's how i get promoted to the highest dutch division with the lowest rating. Of course you can't do without a bit of luck in this...
it's my first time being BC if choosen, so you might take this in consideration. Maybe later on we can discuss about getting young players ready for the NT. i believe it helps to have our tactics 'in line' so the Maltese NT will have future. If it workes i like to do this together for a while.

send you my view of your cup match. please let me know if it do any good ;-)
Nice targets but have to wait for other contestants. Looks nice working with you in the future. Hope that other Maltese users will think the same. Will decide about my vote later.
for me the most important thing is that you dont play u21 players for next season since i have the qualification matches going :)
It is very difficult for me to work close with you cause my work, my personal life and my own team already takes a lot of time apart from obviously the NT. Moreover, you should have no problem to play over 21 cause still there is a gap between the skills of u21 players and senior NT players.
To be very sincere I would be very happy to give you my vote but sincerely the only thing that is slightly concerning me is the fact that you dont have experience with any NT and at the moment after a not so good season by our Senior NT makes me a bit worried cause we cant afford to lose more ratings especially since ratings will reflect the draw for the following season wcq matches.
So my other question is: have you got a good idea how the NT function? (not tactic wise but logistics)
cause in my opinion that is a main problem you can face for a first timer in such post.

What i meant is that of yought is trained properly and on behalf the needs of the NT your squad can benefit at the long term... I agree that qualification is prio.
Since i have no NT experience, i can't tell you exact the skills i miss. I think we can overcome this but for example i can't do without up to date player info.

i can't do without up to date player info.
you will have to do without up to date info because not every manager in sokker who has Malta nt players gives updates

So i belive that you have problems mate, as in Malta users hardly update their players , as far as i remember unfortunatelly there are only 2 to 3 users that sometimes update their players regularly :(
In Malta this is BC work mate, to check out the skills updates of the players otherwise nobody would send you their player skills. Infact i own the Maltese database and i can see good from there when the players are updated eg: in last 4 month exactly from September till now there were only 4 updated .
I'm telling you this ,so as not to discourage you from doing this job, but to know what you are going to face with our NT.
Wish you luck mate , and if you are ready to handle all these problems i'm ready to vote for you too if you promise us that you are ready to do all this work on your own
At first in Malta everybody show that he wants to help you , but after 2-3 weeks you will find no one , again i'm telling you this because i experianced this problem for more than 5 or 6 seasons that i was the BC of Malta.
again Marco van Basten good luck and hope that you understand what i'm trying to tell you
@all Maltese users
I appologise to all Maltese user for this controversy that i created , but we must show him all the problems that we have in our NT , so that after it won't be too late, and i think that all of us don't want that our NT will be abandoned like what happened in 2 particular seasons because the respective coach didn't find help from other Maltese users
I'm writing all this cause first of all i love our NT's ,and second because i don't want to see my previous work continuing being destroyed

but i am the only survivor, fsoler and wayne can confirm this!
I understand: i did not mean the Malta users (and other users with NT Malta players) have to update their players on their own initiative, i will write all managers with NT players to stimulate giving the players skills. This is not a very intensive job and no problem to do. What i mean is that i need that managers to GIVE me this information.
I'm happy with your transparancy! It gives me a good idea of the job. But i use my own plan and if Maltese managers like to support its a plus of which i will take advantage, but not needed to do my job.
Besides: as a BC i would take full responsibilities about the results.

Normally i am the user that send reminders to Nt players coaches!!!!!! if you want i can still do it for you
Just want to say that I think that Marco van Basten is the right person for this job. I know him from the dutch forums when I was the NT coach in Netherland. He's a good and active guy, that knows 'something' about tactics. If I could vote, I'll vote for him :)
