Hello England,
I am Mister Q, manager of the Belgian Division III team Silent Psycho. I would like to apply for the job of manager of the English U21 team for several reasons, which I am going to tell you in this short speech.
My view on the U21 team:The U21 team is a part of the NT team, which is supposed to help people train the young and upcoming stars. The people selected onto the U21 team are amongst the best of their generation, and have got a decent chance to move further to the NT team. If the U21 team fails to produce good talent, then the NT team can't improve either, because they won't have any new fresh players joining up their squad. So the most important task of a U21 team is to assure that the prospects are being trained in a decent way. And it goes without saying: if the U21 team prospects (those are all the players they monitor from age 18 to 21!) are being trained correctly, then good results will follow.
Why would you put the future of the English U21 team in the hands of a Belgian D.III manager? 1) I have experience:I have been managing my team for 7 seasons so far. I started out in III.16 in season 4. After 4 seasons, I promoted to II.4 where in my first season I was 3 points away of getting promoted to the BBBL. But during my time in II.4, I started realizing that I needed to upgrade my team’s defence, if I would want to go up to the BBBL one day. Unfortunately, I couldn't train my players without having them fouling out all the time, so I got myself relegated to III.4. This season was a training season for me, and even though I made progress my defence isn't strong enough yet to move back to a II division and reclaim my spot amongst Belgium’s Best II division before working my way up to the BBBL. So I’ll be staying one more season in III.4 before promoting out of my division.
2) I know what it takes to train players ( especially C's) for a U21 (and possible NT) team Until last season, I have been training C's. Some of them were selected for their U21 teams, others for the NT team. My first C to be selected into the U21 team was C. McCord
(4484156). He was selected at the age of 20 into the USA U21 team. He was on the U21 team for 2 whole seasons. After that, V.Serrano
(8147174) has been on the U21 Belgium team for 2 whole seasons as well, being selected at the age of 20. He currently is ranked 6th amongst Belgium’s best C's, according to the Belgium NT coach. I’ve also had S. Escudie
(2369271) who was selected by the French NT team. This just to show that I know what it takes to train great C's. Of course, having great C's won't win any games. You need to have other good players as well. Therefore I have asked several managers to lend me their expertise and experience. A list of those who have agreed to help out can be found at the bottom of this speech. They will assist me in keeping track of all of England’s prospects.
3) Short term goalsIf I get selected, then my first goal is to scout as many players as possible. My staff and I will go through all of the divisions, looking at every young and upcoming talent. We’ll then put them all in a database, and provide assistance to the coaches with the promising prospects. Those who wish to train a player feel free to mail me, and I’ll put your name down and notify you if a player gets released to the TL
My second goal would be to continue the setup of the current U21 coach and to further develop those players as well.
Finally, I’ll try to end up high with the English U21 team, though this goal will only be achieved if players are trained well.
