BuzzerBeater Forums

No one putting there name forward for election this season?

I’m willing to put my name in the hat if no one else wants to. I was planning on running for the u21 role next season but I could shift focus to the NT role if no one else wants to take the role.

I will do a full speech if I do put my name forward.

we'll need someone to do it - happy to support

Was going to message you to see if you fancied it - your forum posts have been good recently + the effort you're making reminds me of a time I'd do stuff like this for Buzzerbeater...but I think the enthusiasm is gone and that's no good for the NT manager really. So happy to support you if you go for it.

An aside - at election time I do think it'd be good if there was a mechanism to allow the Senior and U21 managers to switch jobs if both agree. If for example js8 would want the NT job now and yourself the u21 job it's a really fiddly / timely process to actually get you both in those roles, without a clean solution.

Thank you both for your support, my name is officially in the hat!

I agree that a logical move would be js8 moving to NT coach (if he wanted it) and then I move in as U21 coach, just like Southgate in real life.

I’m happy for Vycka to take the role. I only put my name forward as no one else did at the time.

It’s a shame you’re not continuing Bergkamp as I think you’ve done an excellent job the last few seasons.

I really would like the chance to manage the NT one day and I think a transitional role between U21 and NT should be available. Now we have two good candidates who will offer something new. It’ll be an interesting election, that’s for sure! Good luck to both.

Been a couple of quiet days on the forums, especially with an election going on.

Does anyone have any questions they would like to ask me? Feel free to ask anything BB related and I'll answer the best i can.

Question to both candidates.

What do you feel is the key to continuing the progress Bergkamp has been making in regards to the work rankings climb? How do you see the next two seasons looking for the NT?

Hey!

We have strong squad,the most Imporant we can compete with everyone.
Key Of climbing rankings Is manager,all depends on decision,every mistake cost you points,meaning of this you can't do mistakes while you NT manager,you have to know when play TIE,.and Crunch..
understand who's your opponents. Visualise standings end of competion. If you take wrong decisions means without enthuasiasm you won't go far, So important!! another key Is GS pick the right players to play.

Manager has to dedicate loads of time In communication with owners of NT players. You have to have their support keep GS high as possible whole season.

What I learned being of Iran manager how to choose your attitude In every game. Must have plan and follow, there's no time for testing beginning of season,so from game 1 you need to look every game carefully.

This perdiod Of NT reminds me of S44-48 Vecx (91095) started,than GM-BORA (70747) bring Us to top 14. Right decisions was made and NT Rise!!
Is perfect example Bora took back Turkey NT from S53-54..and he bring his NT to final.

I see In next two seasons (at least) our NT climb In rankings, we have u-21 In perfect hands,future players join NT with well maintained skill sum. JS8 has popular ranking so he must do good Influence for people prepare players to NT.

My goal would be bring NT to top NT'S where our place belong. As It was years back.

Kinds Regards,
Vy

Bergkamp has done an impressive job over the past 4 seasons, and I think a lot of this has been his attention to defence. In his first season (S51) we conceded over 100 points in every competitive game apart from 1 (in which we conceded 98). In this past season we conceded less than 100 points in every game, even against BB powerhouse Lithuania. I would hope to continue this trend and continue to produce great defenders.

As for the future, I think we lack some key parts which would drastically improve the team, and that is big guys. Other then Barral we lack any good NT level bigs. Obviously I don't know the exact skills of any NT player as I only see them on the TL. We have some very good young bigs (Thomas, currently on TL, Franks and Cassell) who are close to NT level but aren't quite there yet. We have a couple of good bigs in Dolan and Carey but they don't come close to the bigs the top teams have at their disposal. I would look to work with managers to help us develop more high quality bigs so that we have a more balanced squad. Hank Easton has been a great C for us over the years but at age 34 we can't rely on him forever.

We have a lot of high quality guards/SFs to work with that are at a good age to be good for at least a few more season. To add to that, we have a lot of very good guards still developing so we are good on the perimeter for a while yet. This does not mean I would abandon the guard development, as it is very important this continues. I see this as a massive stregnth in our programme and we should do whatever we can to continue it.

I’ve had a look at the draw we’ve got this season and it looks pretty tough to crack the top 2. Bosnia look better than us who we would need to beat to finish 2nd. Although I wouldn’t say it’s impossible to for us to win if we’re at full strength. I’d be aiming for a 3rd place finish ahead of Finland as more more realistic target.
