Unless those 4 lads are Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Diego Maradona I have no objections.

IMO it dosent matter, i just cant see it working.

Juve board dont mind, as they are convinced that their manager is crazy anyway

New rule apparently:

If you cant get your tactics in on time, you can get someone else to do them for you, so that you dont get an automatic 2-0 loss.

don will be in main charge, i'll be assisting, it's in the name assistant manager?

ive got nothing against it mate. Personally i think too much is being made out of it.

Thats cool.
I've sent some pm's out to mates on here that love their football asking them to be my assistants. I've asked them if they can post tactics for me if I dont get time so that I dont get a default loss. I've also asked them if they will review my previous tactics so that when they do write them for me, they are different so I have a constant upper hand on the other teams in my league.

LOL

Alright, basically I'd just advise and in Don's absence do the tactics, as he says he's busier.

trebs honestly its fine mate

CF, in your opinion its fine, doesn't mean its right.
No I dont agree with it, and I probs wont ever agree with it as the tactics thing puts the other team runners at a disadvantage.

Don is in main charge
Surely it could be argued as a disadvantage too as there's less consistency of tactics with our own team and the players have to adjust?

i agree trebs.

No, its a disadvantage of the other team runners as they (we) scout previous weeks tactics. Getting someone else to do your tactics is an unfair advantage.

Alright, well I'll wait and see what Nick, Viva or Afro say

okely dokely

Trebs I don't think this assistant manager thing will work, plus it will get really messy.

i dont think it will work, but im not against it.

Well that is why I am against it because it won't work

what i mean is, im not against the idea of having an assistant, as long as it dosent get confusing and messy.

But it will get confusing and messy CF

Anyways, Benfica have not boarded the plane yet and are still waiting for the bus to take them to the airport. Anyone got any Brazilian's available before they jet off? (cough Ganso cough)

not for defo it wont, you cant possibly tell that.

What planet are you on CF?

For the reasons I gave its messy.

for the reasons YOU gave, like u said earlier to me its your own opinon, i can have mine, you can have yours!!!!


anyway need a CB and then my starting XI is complete.

Reasons:

1. Who is in charge when runner is absent and assistant is online? Does he have the authority to confirm deals or has to wait for runner?
2. Tactics - if a runner cannot do his own tactics then he should always taker the forfeit 2 nil loss. Otherwise, it is unfair to other runners who have commitments but still get tactics in
3. Although maybe not at start, but you WILL get friction from runner and assistant.....wrong tactics, selling someone they shouldn't have etc
4. It is, and always has been, a one man one team policy. Why change that because a new guy has just appeared.

Sorry but trebs will have to wait until a team is open.

twist, i agree with some reasons, however u cant just say trebs will have to wait, its not up to you, its up to nick,viva and afro.

There isn't a team spare, and we have discounted the "assistant".

Having a team made would make the leagues uneven, so you would need to find two more managers.

So yes, it isn't up to me, but common sense means it is a no go

hmmm well, trebs and don will have to wait and see what nick,viva and afro say.

offer on your page CF, come to the negotiating table!

Y I, same for you to mate

well thats another point towards safety

If Andre Villas Boas wants a team on here, can he be in my league, so i've got someone who's worse at tactics than me? Cheers.

YI you fancy being my assistant and ill be your then ill send you a rounded up version of your opponents tactics You can't read tactics but nothing to say your assistant cant.

Sounds good to me Nando.

lol Nando and YI.

Nando how about instead we merge Porto and Arsenal to make the ultimate super team, we joint manage like Roy Evans and Houllier did at Liverpool.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this management lark is hard work!

Damn you all

YI Man:

1. Who is in charge when runner is absent and assistant is online? Does he have the authority to confirm deals or has to wait for runner?
Don is in charge, I'd just suggest deals to him and do some negotiating on his behalf, which we would have already plans.

2. Tactics - if a runner cannot do his own tactics then he should always taker the forfeit 2 nil loss. Otherwise, it is unfair to other runners who have commitments but still get tactics in
I would do the tactics IF Don was unavailable, as he said he's busier.

3. Although maybe not at start, but you WILL get friction from runner and assistant.....wrong tactics, selling someone they shouldn't have etc
I wouldn't sell any players without Don's say so and the tactics would be briefly discussed beforehand before being fully written.

4. It is, and always has been, a one man one team policy. Why change that because a new guy has just appeared.
It hasn't. I've been playing these games since the very start, five years ago. There have been assistant managers for years. I remember me and mental being Middlesbrough together.

Trebs, that wasn't me who wrote those points.

But I agree that its not fair from a tactics point. Otherwise whats the freeking point in scouting the opposition if they are just going to have someone else do the tactics?
If Don is too busy to run his own team, then he needs to let someone take them over.
But thats just my opinion.

If Nick is ok with having assistants, then I'm going to see if I can get other people on board to help with my team to give me an advantage from the tactics front. Im sure they could mix it up a bit if im "too busy"

when TP'S re open, im gonna bring in a young centre back.

Sorry that was aimed at twist anyway

I can't run a team full time myself is the problem mate

Only one manager in charge.

THis has been tried before but it really doesn't help and just confused things.

Tactics must be done by the manager. If they cannot get them in, then they are able to PM them to any league runner to post nearer the deadline.

Sorry Mouse

I seem to recall a lot of managers taking over a Chelsea side which was a complete success? There were four of you?

And hey Afro, how you doing?

And tactics didn't get done because noone knew was doing them, and none of the other managers knew who to make deals with. I was just a scout and I was selling players under the managers nose

Sorry, 1 person per team

I'm good thanks mate. Glad to here things are going well at Uni

Well the TP's put in over the weekend be answered on Monday?

no i thought TP'S were closed.
