What are my credentials with NTs?

I was elected 3 times (in the first 3 seasons that NTs were around) as NT coach for England, during this time I:

- lost one competitive game in charge
- reached the semi finals of the World Cup (which was the only competitive game I lost while in charge of England)
- NTs beaten during my time in the job include Nederland, Scotland, Deutschland, USA, Canada

I feel that this type of experience could be invaluable to any NT.

What about my team?
I have won the English Premier League 4 times (currently have 3 consecutive titles, the first win was in an uncompetitive league), and the FA Cup twice (last two times). I have never finished outside the top 3 in the premiership, and have made one appearance in the FA Cup final where I did not win it. During this time I have relied, I admit on tactics that stay fairly similar over the course of the season. I have constantly tweaked them to try and get them as good as possible and every now and then remove some old ones in favour of a new design to keep my rivals on their toes.

I have based my training around defenders ever since joining Sokker. It is widely known through the SK community that Eesti has the best defence outside of Poland, and I feel that being a defender trainer myself I would be prepared to make good use of this.

Would I have the dedication to train an NT player if needed?
Yes, and it is probably fair to say I have more experience than most users regarding the use and training of international players. Sadly I have only had the one Eesti international (Tanno Leino, still in my team), but realistically he was never going to be a long term player there anyway.

Negative points about me though:
- I would probably end up having to miss the first friendly match to play (as I am on holiday until 11th April)
- I do not speak the Estonian language at all :(
- I indirecly led to Matu joining SK ;)

Positives in summary:
- 3 seasons of international experience
- club experience in one of the strongest non Polish leagues
- won`t play ridiculous tactics (other than with my club team in friendlies :))
- I easily beat Vilpu ;)


I apologise in advance for not making rapid responses to any questions to this, as I have said I am on holiday and prepared this before leaving as not to take up too much of my time away (first time in quite some time I have had a holiday!). When I return, if you choose to elect me, I would give the NT job my full attention.

mr_gibbage also :O Wow... the choice of good managers is immense :d
2007-04-01 14:51:46
Yeah..

Artillery is here! :)
2007-04-01 14:53:27
It would be good if you and Borkos would lead the NT :P One of you would be the assistant or scout or smth :)
2007-04-01 16:39:18
I indirecly led to Matu joining SK ;)

For that you are not getting my vote. :)
2007-04-01 18:46:48
Marep is right ;)
You just lost many votes :D
2007-04-01 20:28:27
Well there goes me sympathy for a cheeky foreigner vote...
2007-04-01 23:26:30
Wrestny admin. At least I have a scapegoat if I don't win ;).
2007-04-02 10:09:00

You know they are the best. Don't lie.
2007-04-03 10:03:18
We don´t want the best assistants, we want the most beautiful one. I´m sure that your rival in this competition, mr_borkos, would be more than happy to please us with young and beautiful managing staff. So I must say your chanches look rather slim here.
2007-04-03 11:05:53
chances look slim and assistants look fat.
2007-04-03 12:44:44
Will you change your name to an Estonian translation ?

Edit - @gibbage.

2007-04-03 22:49:15
It's translatable only if he changes his name to mr_cabbage... gibbage doesn't mean anything, does it ?

mr_cabbage would be mr_kapsas =)
