Subject: »[NT] Update

Choquet sold. New trainer plans to put some striking on him.

It seems I have been successful in my re-election bid. Thanks everyone for your support. :)

I will be looking for player updates the next few days. Feel free to send an update before I ask.

As I stated during the campaign, I intend for this to be my final season. I am not retiring because I am weary of the job - I still very much enjoy it. I am stepping aside to allow other managers the opportunity. I am hopeful a (or multiple) Canadian manager(s) will step forward.

If you think that might be you, there are a couple of things (IMHO) you should be doing:

Invest in the team
- watch the games, make little posts (ie., "good game" or "nice pass by Iginla") to the game threads so others know you are watching
- train Canadian
- ask me for a job

Invest in yourself
- make use of your friendlies to experiment with tactics and player usage. Develop a "portfolio" of formations so we can see what you can do.

Cheers.

congratulations seca. :)

I myself am a little disappointed at the low turnout. But I am flabbergasted as to how a foreigner got a vote.

One knock on the weeked - O'Hara out for 2 weeks. Back in time for the WC.

The World Cup draw is quite silly. I'm quite disappointed :(

Not the worst draw, but some variety would have been nice. :) I'm actually quite envious of England's draw in group C.

France is the new challenge. Over 10X as many users as us. :S They had a few poor outings during qualifying, and their ranking slipped. Still a very strong squad. We've met once before under my tenure - a 1-1 draw.

We are supposed to play Turkey in a friendly this weekend, but they elected a new manger. He's under no obligation to honour the arrangement, so we may be searching for a game.

England will be our friendly opponent December 9.
Edit: England game is U21.

After challenging Turkey, I sent the new Turkish manager 2 Sokker mails about the game asking him to accept the challenge or respond. Both times he read the message and did neither, so I have arranged a match with New Zealand for this weekend.

As far as i know he doesn't know english. :) Probably he's looking for someone to get it translated.

Thanks for the update

It's not a problem - both teams have games. Was just trying to explain the situation. :) Its always tough when coaches change.

Not really the appropriate thread, but my club reached a milestone of sorts today - Amado passed 1 million value (in C$). Kinda cool. :)

Musa might be there too if it wasn't for his blasted form. Anyone know a good trick it boosting it back up?

On a related note, Lamo has popped in pace :)

Apocalypse officially a bot.

Will be some time before the riders get released tho (will take a few seasons to get that squad down to III).

The Purge - Part I

The following players will be removed from the NT one week from today. If some of them show up on the TL, be aware of their NT status.

Atkinson
Craig
Howland
Moscato
Nash
Piel
Zobahan

Another group will be removed after I receive player updates (hopefully I will get the updates this week).
