Hello England managers. First off, I would like to state that I am not a candidate running for this season's managerial position. In this message, I am offering a proposal to the managers of England and in addition to the winner of the English election as his approval will be vital in making this plan succeed. I will discuss, in this message, my proposed plan to turn England into a top 20 BB nation and perhaps one season down the road compete in a World Championship.
Let me introduce myself so you can determine my credibility, as I have just said something that many of you probably rolled your eyes at because England has never been a BB superpower. I am Bizzarro, a college student (lots of time on my hands) and an athlete and sports lover for my entire life. I started playing BB back in season 11 when I developed my passion for the game; I played the game from season 11-around season 21. I worked my way up from Div. V to Div. III, which is not spectacular by my goals.. Then I had some family things come up, quit the game and returned around season 27. I ran for office for the Ireland U-21 job and won. I raised the team world ranking from 83-59 in just 2 seasons. (this was from season 29-30 I believe but I would have to go back and check.. they all run together in my memory.) Unfortunately in my second term as manager I once again ran into family issues that caused me to quit the game. Now that I am off to college and on my own I vow that no matter what happens, I will never abandon a National team again.. Not because this is THAT important to me, but it is enjoyable to me and to many and I owe that to players of this game who spend time building a community. I have been involved in this game for years and although I have not been involved in the English community, I believe that you will be able to trust my expertise in the game. Now let's transition to the real point of this message.
I will be running for U-21 England manager next season. I would like to note that this is NOT a campaign ad. I have designed my proposal to you all by laying out laws that I must follow to ensure that the English community is involved (As I am sure Morwood would also advocate for the importance of communication within the community) and know my agenda and can trust that I will follow that agenda.
Laws of Bizzarro Proposal:
1. I will buy at least one 18 year old PG/SG prospect with minimal superstar potential and focus my training entirely on him in one position training. In addition, I have a roommate that will be joining the game within weeks that has vowed to buy 3 18 year old bigs from next year’s draft and will focus training entirely on them. We cannot sell the players until fully trained and pass 25 years old. I would like to note that my roommate is not participating as a farm team or any form of cheating. He wants to win his league just like anyone else. Having the prospects will benefit him as much as it will benefit the English National team.
2. All who have players on the U-21 national team will have more influence on tactics and strategy. If you have devoted your time and effort into training a player fit enough to be on the national team, then you deserve a greater influence on the team. In addition, you know the players the best, you trained them.
3. All Scouts will have a greater say on who gets minutes in games.
4. All Scouts must train at least one England prospect. You can still help the team even if you don’t have a player in training, but I won’t label you a scout and you will lose your influential say on tactics.
5. ALL WILL BE INFORMED WEEKLY!!! Community is vital in establishing a successful national team. In my opinion a BB nation with England’s size is actually more preferable than a bigger nation such as the U.S. This is because the few that are really into improving the team will have a bigger say and will provide for a more democratic decision. Also, the ones who don’t care about the team and just sell t
