Subject: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

So it`s time for me to sign off after eight seasons in charge of the English national team, starting late september 2012! This contains an incredible 128 games distributed into 82 wins, 13 draws and 33 losses. From late 2013 to May 2014 we went on an unbeaten run of 24 games which ended with a bitter semi final loss vs Scotland. Four WC qualification seasons, all of which led to the glorious World Cup. Three of four WC seasons led to promotion from group stages into playoffs and the latter two of them all the way to semi finals. So with two bronze medals, a progress in the rankings from 39 spot til current 8 (peaked at 4 early this season) and a lot of cool english sokker friends I say humbly thanks a lot for all the fun!

Wish the new regime the best of luck and I will definetely stay in touch ^_^

I have a fish in the oven right now as i read this lol

Thanks, good luck & all the best.

Fair play. You did a stunning job. Good luck in your next NT role.

The new NT manager has an awfully big pair of boots to fill ;-)
It's been a pleasure, all the best!

Will seem strange you not being the NT manager anymore - seems like you have been since the dawn of time!

Bye bye, but keep in touch mate! Here is an advice for ya:

The boy done well..

Well done Lorre. Great leadership

And now for something completely different...

You have proven yourself with results,,,Lorre is without doubt the best coach NT has had , since I started playing. Good Luck Ser Lorre!

I'm guessing you weren't around when Phil was coach?

Phil was over rated.

Lorre > Phil

Thanks everyone for nice words ^_^ I`ll be around the forum and keep in touch like before..
