I appreciate the support shown by various teams in the Nippon community. It's clear that while this nation is small, it does at its heart have a group of active educated managers who enjoy the game and are interested in seeing the NT progress further.
There's a saying here in Aus, "have a crack at it". I'm more than happy to having a crack at the NT job. That's not to say it'll be a half assed attempt, quite the contrary, I'm always a person who goes 100% in and would do whatever it took to improve the team. The GMs are right in saying I was signed up for Pakistan before Wolph asked me to run here. I made the decision to run here instead because it seemed the current manager is not so active, as is evident in this thread.
GMs too have the nations interests at heart im sure, however courtesy and some common sense eludes them at the moment. I'm not trying to reignite the flames but yeah ild appreciate they asked what ild do rather than being told what I won't.
Anyhow, a bit more about me. I like to think of myself as a good chess player who doesn't play chess
Thinking moves ahead and making the most appropriate decisions for the short and longer term.
Further, My personal team is at the moment in a clear building phase so this allows me the advantage of spending more time on the NT team and prospects. Being international also gives me the advantage of not favouring teams or players, it's all bout the stats and results
Manager of the Bahamas National Team!
