Thanks :) I'm pretty sure if there was something illegal it would be easy for gm's to check it, not worried indeed.

How would folks feel if I ran for NT coach next season?

It's basically the last chance for players like Gazza and Marshall, and our guard situation generally is going to need some creativity. All our PGs have flaws, and so does Barker, our best SG.
But we have decent big men and a peak (33 year next season) Connor Marshall to attack with.

I would like a crack at conjuring up European qualification out of that group, and I would follow an aggressive strategy.

Would be difficult to vote against a manager that has dominated the top division in recent years

Considering your consistent stance of being against an EBBL manager being in charge of the NT, a subject on which I agreed with you, I'd have thought it would be difficult for you to put your name forward.

Interesting point, how did it affect everyone that Gully was in EBBL this year? What are the pros and cons of having a NT manager from EBBL?

For me I personally felt I should prove my ability to GM a side and win EBBL before even considering NT management.

Surely we would want someone with proven understanding of the game managing the side?

My point of view: "Dominating in years" does not sound like a pillar to me. Not because it's Elmacca, I think it applies to everyone.

As I see it, being an NT requires 2 main aspects. For the first one, it's enough to check the matches of this season and test the match reading abilities and decision making in the lineup (in my subjective point of view, tide and myself have been leading here overall, not because I'm going for the NT, just how we've been performing with what we have).
And secondly, speaking abilities and diplomacy, not only with the community, but mainly other NTs.

My two cents!

Hey Sabre,

Why is diplomacy with other countries so important? I totally understand with your own managers as you need to have players trained in way you want and with good game shape, but why other countries?

I didn't do anything differently this season from last.

I'll leave the pros to others. The cons are obvious. Possibility of favouring your own players, and not picking rivals' players to harm their merchandising. The knowledge of players' skills, possibly of EBBL teams with multiple NT players, such as muse.

I should point out that I'm not saying Elmacca isn't trustworthy. Just that he has pointed out in the past he's not in favour of it.

I don't believe its the NT managers job to have players trained to their specifications. NT managers don't own NT players. Also, not all NT players are on English teams. Many are at the moment, but it hasn't always been so, and it won't always be so.

Why other countries? Why not? What's the point of being belligerent? I've tended towards pleasantness when dealing with everyone I've met from other NTs. It can help to talk to them anyway. Though I would also say where I've felt wronged, I've said so.

Not everything that happens to the NT is visible on the forum.
