Hello!

First of all, I want to say that I know that it will be hard to be the England manager when I am from Spain.
So, why England? Well, England is one of the most important countries and it can be on BB too. I dont know all the players here, but I am sure that working hard and scouting we will have a potent team.
We will have time to scout and scout and here, in Spain, as the bigger country in BB, we can find really nice players for this selection. That is all about the players but what about the future?
Thinking in a good team, we can of course think in play both competitions with the best selections in the world, choosing the best tactics, having a nice form in our players we can be the "surprise".
About me, I'm playing in Spain, in V, it's so hard to get a better division here but I'm sure that this will be my year.

My staff is not full yet, I have some spanish friends with me, like DuarTe, Al_loro and Liones who all of them play in IV. But I want some english managers to help me in some aspects so if you want just bb-mail me, please.

It is a pleaseur to talk to you, cheers and happy birthday!

Faithfully, Luis Bullock

Dear all,

You probably know me already... I'm the currrent NT manager of England and the proud manager of Faster Pussycats (37710), last season Cup winners and EBBL runner up.

Why am I still here? Well, a couple of reasons:

- I don't see any strong candidate this election
- I obviously know what the job entails
- Hopefully most people appreciate the effort I put in the job so far

With respect to what I promised last time I got elected:

- We now a have a fully automated scouting tool. No need to manually check every team in BB to know which players you have to look at!

What I failed to achieve. Obviously we did not qualify for the world cup. It was a tough group and we ended up 4th with a 4-3 record. Could we have done better? Yep...

Sadly the qualification is the first thing a new manager has to face and despite my experience (and if you check my team history you'll see I have some!) I made a few costly mistakes... Incidentally that's a reason to have an old hand in the job.

The Consolation tournament went ok, (lost on the second elimination round) but could have gone better. The major culprit there was an unexpected loss against DK (7850), the other match we lost against Ceska Rep. (7649) was a lot more reasonable...

Our group this season looks like this:

1 Deutschland 0 0 0 0 0.000
2 Belgium 0 0 0 0 0.000
3 Danmark 0 0 0 0 0.000
4 England 0 0 0 0 0.000
5 Sakartvelo 0 0 0 0 0.000
6 Cyprus 0 0 0 0 0.000
7 Shqipëria 0 0 0 0 0.000
8 Ireland 0 0 0 0 0.000

Tough. But we stand a chance...

Questions are welcome!
