Well Amen to that!!! Thank you so much for the honour of living and growing the next 2 years as your NT Coach. I am in the process of setting up an offsite to help keep things in order. I find it tough to discuss tactics and potential team players without posting and looking at different skills. I hope no one has a problem with me posting their potential team players on the off site. I just makes it easier to discuss when me and scout know who we are discussing. If there is a problem and you don't want your players skills posted on my offsite, just kindly send me a bbmail and I will respect your wishes.

It's time to get to work. The first group we are in will be hard enough. But after having my first look at some of the top players we have to offer, I am very impressed! Some guys are getting long in the tooth but I am hoping some of the 33-35 year olds have career extension trainer.. WE could use the good experience points to our advantage.. Anyone who wants to be a tactics scout or a player scout, I would love the support and help. We can discuss jobs later.

Thanks again. Allons-y!!!

The new offsite is up. I will post the link once I have added a few more players. Probably tonight after work.

Anyone interested in becoming a scout, please bb-mail me your interest.

Thanks.

The problem with scouting is that only you has access to the player skills, hopefully Coach MK has/will send you his Excel spreadsheet with last year skills, it removes a bit of work load, but that's still a pretty long and boring task

Just sent it.
Scouts can right messages and ask for the skills, and usually it works and the scout got what they want. She have not all the tool in her hands to be successful

Wow you were lucky with your answer rate, I'd say I only got 10% of answers when I asked for skills, and most of them were from managers with already well advanced players.
For me it was far quicker and effective to scout the ~300 players at the beginning / end of seasons rather than wait on managers to answer, especially those based in foreign countries

I had a rate of may be 40%. But within 1 week, some managers took much longer than that. But over time it was okay. Of course you scout and get the numbers that way. But I was also interested in training and if they need they need help to develop players. And I had good success with that. You have to bait the managers than you are attractive for the managers and get answers - even if there is just: I will not train this player, or it is just chinese. But that means hundreds and thousands of mails back and forth. This is how I handle things. If I do it, I do it right - or not

Yes I appreciate the help. I am still using NTSO to help me scout and I want to get in the habit of individually scouting myself. But thank you for the list. I will be updating the offsite later tonight. Thanks for all that offered to help. I look forward to all the discussions and learning on the job.

Good afternoon fellas! Let's try this again.. I posted once and it didn't go through.. so here's the short version.

Thanks to those who confirmed in bbmails that they will help. I think some fear that they will have to do too much scouting. My vision stemmed from an idea Damian had. Each helper will be in charge of only 10 prospects (ages 22- 26). You will help me monitor them and offer advice if needed.

Those who said they would help.. you can access the offsite.. please use your bb name or team name as your login so I know who you are.

Our first game is Monday.. I am open to ideas about the first 12 players that we put on the team. I have posted a few possible worthy players to discuss.

Thanks guys!!

Why is the age group 22-26? Does Cletus himself take care of 21 and under?

Good point! Cletus and I haven't spoken yet, and I will make that a top priority in the two days to make sure we are on same page.. I originally suggest 22-26 so as to not step on Cletus' toes, but I will contact him. Thanks for the question.

You also need to change the message appearing on potential NT players profiles, I'm still receiving bb mails 😁
