Yeah I'd have voted for a manager draft after all this. 

 

But maybe make it you can't have a top flight manager or something. 

 

It will take you about ten minutes, at most...

 

We're getting towards half in already!

[Captain Turdseye]

Will maybe try and do this later. 

[sir roger]

I'm going Joey Barton and just nut everybody outside the KFC on County Road if I lose.

[Captain Turdseye]

Only two preferred formations @Bruce Spanner?

No, preferred, second preferred, attack and defence.

 

You can repeat them though if you want to.

 

Imagine the attack is if you’re losing and the defence if your trying to hold out for a win.

 

The manager will use the preferred most likely though.

And on the attributes, one is working with youngsters. Does that mean like the youth team, therefore pointless for one season? Or does it mean I’m gonna have to lay it on thick with Haaland up front?

Working with youth is young(er) players, so Haarland will need looking after to blossom...

Mr Holliday gave me a ten year plan, with economic preparation in case of a recession, at several points over the next two decades. This planning is based on the delicate geopolitical position of several European nations and sees wars breaking out at several critical stages, it also contains contingency for death of staff.

 

I'm sure yours will be a doddle in comparison...

[Bjornebye]

Sent mine Bruce let me know if I've followed your instructions properly 

[No2]

I haven't a scubby whats needed here. The opening post is like an article from the Athletic. 

[John102]

It's quite straightforward.

 

Go to the end and the copy and paste thing will guide you.

 

It'll only take about ten or so minutes once you've got your head around it.

[Bjornebye]

Yeah its not that hard once you're into it. 

[John102]

There is a a copy and paste?

Here you go, the day you've all been waiting for, time to pit your wits against the best, and Turdseye!

 

It's not overly complicated, but it will take a little time and thought.

 

All of the things below go together to make you the manager you want to be, so take in to considaration that some things will contradict each other so be careful.

 

We have all been set with the same qulifications and reputation, this will be the only thing that diferentaites us from each other.

 

So first thing to choose 'Philosophy' this will be what you are held up against, so choosing attacking and then Playing like El Cholo will have the fans, media and players on your back and can effect moral. so it's the easiest choice, but one that effects massively.

 

So choose one or two from.

 

 

Next is prefered formation, you only need to choose it at this point, we refine it later...

 

Prefered Formation...

Second Prefered...

Attacking...

Defensive...

 

'You' are tactically astute enough to know when to use which, but will use the prefered in the vast majority of cases.

 

 

 

What is your coaching style?

General 

Defensive

Attacking.

 

This is the important part now...

 

You have 155 points to distribute on your tactical attributes, you can chose 0-20 in each, but no more than 155!

 

 

 

Your nontactical attributes, you have 250 to distribute, again between 0-20.

 

The next set is your tendencies to do these things so if you want to be a pressing team it would be high, rate yourself out of ten for the ones that are the most important to the way you want to play. You can not just rate ten for all as your players will not know which instructions to follow so you have to think about how they will work in the bigger picture and some some be low or zero.

 

 

Next is the fine tuning, each player in your formation can be given specific instructions, they will not do it every time, but they will look to where possible, try to link this to how you want your team to play overall 'the bigger picture'

 

You can only choose one for each position and remember to think about the players you actually have and their ability to fulfil these roles.

 

 

That's everything to do with how you want your team to play, it'll take some thinking, but you can't go too far wrong as long as you don't contradict instruction and confuse players.

 

Most importantly, are you a suit or tracksuit manager?

 

So if you C&P this filled out and PM it to me when you have chosen.

 

I have done mine already so I can't plan for yours and it's a level playing field

Exactly, it’s the fine margins which separate teams and managers.

I read that as botox. Sounds like a proper hom.

[Captain Turdseye]

I’ll try and get this done tomorrow night, Brucey.
