Any one can apply as per our rules.  Coach will be voted on by British coaches.

My personal preference though is for a new coach to take over, a coach without an existing team at all,  We have seen the thread how do I join and I would like to give the opportunity if possible to one of these.

Thanks for the pm Ringo.

Yeah I'd like to apply. Should be fun.

Thanks Jukes.  You will need to formally apply looking at the third paragraph in first post.

That's fine, I'm not too worried. Like I said, I'm already in a head coach role at the Cairo Sands.

I would like to formerly apply for the position of Swindon Swaggers FFC.

Experience:
XVs Creator
World XVs Administrator
(http://i.imgur.com/mAEHwrT.png)
Seoul Magpies WXV Senior Coach, 2011 [Retired to be impartial as World XV Administrator]
(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9658/seoulmagpies.png)

The Partnership

League 1 Soccer Team Swindon Town F.C. has promised a partnership, as we both strive for success. I have arranged to share Swindon Town F.C.'s facilities.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Swindon_Town_FC.svg)

Sponsorship

Connections with my former South Korean colleagues, I can promise Hyundai as our major sponsor.

(http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/logos/showroom/hyundai.png)

The Team

Spokesman: Israel Folau

Folau, who seems officially listed, will act as official spokesman for the Club in order to drum up members and media attention (this seems to be what he does for other codes!).

The Team

Defenders: G Birchall, A Rance, C Cornes, B Guerra <M Buntine, H O'Brien, Jo Roughead, R Schoenmakers, M Weller, J Allen, P Yagmoor, T Murphy, A Litherland, W Langford, J Ferguson, L Plowman, W Hams, M Warnock>

Midfielders:  L Shiels, J Trengove, S Black, H Hocking <T Rockliff, B Whitecross, J Blair, I Smith, S Savage, C Young, B Hill, T McGennis, A Woodward, T Duryea, T Broomhead, W Hams>

Ruck: S Mumford <A Cordy, T Hickey, S Rowe, B Grundy>

Forwards: T Rockliff, B Whitecross, J Blair, M Hurley <J Patton, Jo Roughead, A Cordy, Q Lynch, J Lamb, C Dell'Olio, S Rowe, A Frank, J Ferguson>


Positives

Tremendous depth in defense, which in my experience is a tough position to maintain throughout a long year, Cornes the experienced head - combined with Birchall and Rance to anchor it down. Additionally, Buntine and Plowman are just 2 of the rising superstars down back.

Mumford will hold down the #1 ruck position, with Cordy, Huckey, Rowe and Grundy (and perhaps in later years Roughead) showing a depth of a ruck that excites me and fills me with confidence.

Led by Rockliff, the forward line has a damaging potential. Hurley is not far away from being a superstar, with Whitecross, Lynch and Blair showing spine.

Negatives

Borrows quite a bit from Hawthorn, yet somehow managed to miss most of the Superstars from it! In the future, would look to reduce the dependency on one particularly team.

Midfield lacks a star and depth, and may need to borrow from the forward line in 2013 depending on player availability and form.

Due to lack of midfield, Captaincy options are thin. Rockliff and Mumford the early candidates.

Why me?

After giving up the Seoul Magpies in the World XVS (in order to be impartial in the rules), I've felt the itch to control a team again without the responsibility of running a league (which Ringo is doing a fantastic job).

Jukes, if he agrees, has a position as senior assistant if I'm successful.

I lose obviously, but yeah I'll retake my assistant position. Maybe I could do some stuff this time instead of all the stuff hawk got me to do (aka nothing)

Jukes in the absence of Hawka I will allow you to list trades for Swindon until midnight tomorrow night - Close of trading period.  You will be acting coach until new coach is appointed following voting if necessary.,

Just a reminder to British xv coaches that voting will be private and via PM so probably not a good idea to comment in here,

I will be sending PM out on Monday for voting purposes,

Remember any applications must be submitted in this thread and address point 3 in the first post.

I would continue to encourage other prospective coaches to apply.

I'll just do a quick thing on why I should be *elected*. Ossie obviously destroys me on the exp/info count, but...

1. I haven't got any teams and would like one.
2. I am British so I should get into the British XVs
3. My dad is from Swindon, was a long time member of their football team (Swindon FC)
4. Know my stuff about footy (especially when it comes to the red and black number 5)
5. Will be quite active and not go AFK for long periods.

And that's why I should be coach in 5 points and 5 minutes.

maybe don't tho because the result is a foregone conclusion, my vote would have gone 100% to someone who didn't own a team.

current applicants.... tick

someone who can be relied upon to fulfil the role

current applicants.... tick

Good luck to all the applicants in any case however many there may be by Monday, and may the best 2 win  ;D

Don't worry too much, the demand is high and there seemed to be a lot of "outside" interest, and failing that I am sure Os or Jukes could be enticed to a new team in a solo role.

Think there are still assistants in British also who don't senior coach any other teams so shouldn't have any troubles in regards to that.

You've done a great job, BXVS seems to be going along just swimmingly

Post by: Memphistopheles on February 18, 2013, 04:50:01 PM
Now that I've had a taste of the comp thanks to an assistant gig in the Asian VX's I would be keen to take on a team (in whatever comp).

But, prior to that I wanted to see what it would be like before putting my hand up.

I'm sure a couple of the Asian XV coaches would vouch for my activity/being a decent coach (gone from one page of PM's to 21 in less than a week lol) if an opportunity did come up.

Also Toga is right. Even if I had been considering taking on a job I wouldn't have bothered applying against ossie whose credentials would have far outweighed mine (how can you not vote for the creator of the XV's?)

Yeah Sid hasn't been on in like a month. IMO if doesn't come on soon, then he should sacked...

With more than half the coaches having voted join me in welcoming Ossie85 and Jukes as co-coaches of the Swindon Swaggers.

One of their first tasks which I conveyed in a PM is to have a compensation pick from Isreal Folau.  I will advice choice KB so you can update unpicked players. 

Join me in welcoming Ossie85 and Jukes to our coaching ranks.

If Sid is sacked (don't want him to be), would I get his team as I am his assistant?

It will still have to go to a vote and others would be able to apply for the position.

Yes Ada BB is correct - Similar to what happened with this vacancy.  Will advertise position and anyone can apply and then go to the vote.  Should not be another Ossie from left field hopefully.  I will be doing all in my power to ensure that Sid is active as the last thing you really want to do is sack a coach.  In saying that however if Rules are not followed then I must act and strongly encourage assistant coaches to apply.

Thanks everyone for showing Jukes and I support! Look to build the team up to premiership potential!

In regards to Sid - unfortunately he disappeared around this time last year for the Worlds, and does have a history. Sid is one of the founding members not just of XVs, but of fanfooty itself (there was a time he was the #1 poster on the site by thousands, and I think the first or second to coach status), so would give him every chance. But he does have a history....

Welcome Os and Jukes great to have you in the league a big COO for Ringo's British to land the founding father :)

Sid co-coaches with macca in AXVS so I have them to deal with to, still life gets in the way sometimes, hoping to see one or both well before the first ball is bounced in anger this season...

if not I guess i'll be advertising also  :-\

but back on topic Congrats Jukes and Os.

Yeah Sid hasn't been on in like a month. IMO if doesn't come on soon, then he should sacked...
I disagree... He has a life, or something has happened. "Sacked" is a bit harsh.

Maybe it is handed over to his assistant for the time being? I think that would be the better solution.

You don't know what has happened in his life... I've had it tough lately, and haven't registered my SC/DT teams yet, so should I be sacked from Elxam?

*BTW, congrats to Jukes and Os ;) *

Your team Captain won't sack from the elxam ;) ;)
As I said there are a couple of teams that have been inactive and that is understandable as coaches maybe happy with teams and do not want to trade at all.  However in saying that as Administrator I need to ascertain if this is the case or circumstances have changed requiring some adjustment.

We have a good mix of coaches in the British, some a little more enthusiastic than others. and I want to give all coaches the chance to continue. Sacking is a drastic step that no one wants to take so I will being all I can to resolve any issues and concerns with coaches of these teams.

I remember in Worlds Tht you get 2 weeks no matter what I think. Not sure how it is now...
Title: Re: British XV's Vacant Coaching position.
Post by: Ringo on February 19, 2013, 07:19:15 PM
You are correct in Worlds and the same rules will apply in British once the season starts that failure to lodge team for 2 consecutive weeks will result in dismissal from team.

This is one of the reason I wish to work with coaches and ensure we have 18 active active coaches/assistant coaches for the competition.
