Subject: [NT] England Team Newsdesk

If he knows what he is doing, it won't matter whether there is tactics to copy or not.

A very good start for the England campaign - with 2 lucky wins & 1 heavy defeat to France

Anyone interested in helping out the England NT are very very welcome

The league standard your Club currently plays at is not important - just some fun, enthusiasm & commitment is needed to take our proud England team forwards

Already mailed you with my interested in helping out :-) let me know is there's anything i can do!

I certainly will - I've had a very busy R/L time, but I promise to catch up next week with Sokker

Don't worry, not a complaint! Congrats on the good start!

ill help you out with what i dont know just give me a shout

When I took over there were few/no tactics set and squad had been set up for u24 games. Pretty common situation due to squad size limits and allowing new manager to create tactics on their style. No conspiracy.

To be fair, ermejo didn't do overly well in his NT stint, so to then go and use his tactics would be almost like shooting yourself in the foot!

They seem to be working well againist your team though

Shame they aren't the same thing! With clubs you build a couple of tactics to suit your players, NT with any sort of level of resources (which is most bar small countries where there is no depth in squad quality full stop), you build tactics and then fit the players into it.

i understand where your coming from but the new manager has already stated that he is not so tactically aware maybe having some good tactics already there that he could maybe get ideas from would of been good.

An announcement on the new NT staffing & responsibilities should be available for release by tomorrow PM

New ideas are being conisidered - so watch this space

The NT staff are now being finalised - & it's looking very good

Anyone still interested in being part of the NT scene right now (no matter if you are a top Prem Manager or bottom LIV Manager) please drop me a mail

Enthusiasm, & just being positive are the main strengths I am looking for

The structure will include new NT empowered staff positions - so everyone is very welcome to become part of the new English NT revolution

Sokker is a good honest challenge - so please just enjoy being part of the England NT scene - win or lose it's just a game

NT Staffing Structure & Responsibilities


Rationale

- Give more empowerment & involvement to NT staff
- Increase the number of Managers involved with NT matches
- Improve direct communications to Div III/IV
- Encourage training of English youth/potential NT players

Structure

- Head Coach
- Senior Coach
- Assistant Coach GK
- Assistant Coach Defence
- Assistant Coach Midfield (inc wingers)
- Assistant Coach Attack

Job responsibilities

- Head Coach (NCFC)
- 100% responsible for formation – tactics – team

- Senior Coach (tomkellz)
- Tactical analysis (pre & post match)
- Scout opposition & suggest formation
- Agree player selection with H/C
- Agree formation with H/C

- Asst Coach GK (dazza)
- Propose selection of GK’s for next NT match
- Scout GK’s via match stats
- Encourage/support Manager’s to train GK’s
- Scout opposition & suggest formation

- Asst Coach Defence (Truffs)
- Propose selection of defenders for next NT match
- Scout Defenders via match stats
- Encourage/support Manager’s to train defenders
- Scout opposition & suggest formation

- Asst Coach Midfield (Roberto b75)
- Propose selection of CM/DM/Wingers for next NT match
- Scout Midfield players via match stats
- Encourage/support Manager’s to train midfield players
- Scout opposition & suggest formation

- Asst Coach Attack (r3tarded)
- Propose selection of strikers for next NT match
- Scout Attacking players via match stats
- Encourage/support Manager’s to train attacking players
- Scout opposition & suggest formation

Players need to be proposed by every Wednesday latest – so Tom & I can agree the final selection of the 1st XI & subs (only by exception will we not accept an A/C’s recommendation of players)

We will always have 2 tactics per match – so it is expected that we will need 2 x GK’s, 7 x Defenders, 7 x Midfield (inc wingers) 5 x Strikers proposed per match

Scouting players can be done by match stats in the 1st instance – then full skill & training details collected & added onto DB if deemed appropriate

Communication direct to all LIII/IV Managers, requesting involvement to support the Asst NT Coaches, specific skill details, training advice of potential NT players & advice on starting &/or running a Junior School (assuming Prem/LII Manager’s are already on board)

Please encourage other Managers to work with you – try & involve 2 or 3 enthusiastic Club Managers to support with strategic positional scouting, &/or recommendations of players to be picked for the next NT match, etc (the more Club Managers involved within the NT the merrier)

Good idea
