Lippi
Aragones/ Del Bosque

Please add anyone else you think can go in. When we have a decent list, I'll randomly assign everyone a manager from the list. I can do this either anonymously or not.

Might be too late, but I have a suggestion. Instead of a manager pot luck, let everyone pick their own managers (no Liverpool managers) in round 1 then continue with players in round 2 meaning those who picked a manager last get first choice of players.

This way you make the manager picks a lot more tactical and people can only blame themselves if they've ballsed up their choice 

(I would ban Liverpool managers in any case. Whoever gets one of ours is almost an auto-win. Unless it's Hodgson  )

An option I feel could be explored if people are feeling lazy and can't be arsed researching as much.

In like Flyn

I think it's the opposite, no? This way involves more research and tactics to make sure you don't end up with a lemon. Also might be interesting to see someone pick a manager not seen as a great but who has managed a host of great players. Might end up being a different draft to what was intended though.

[Crosby Nick]

You lost me at Samie.

It potentially shifts someone out of their comfort zone doing this, which would be fun to see.

Happy to go with what the majority wants.

[Gerry Attrick]

Go on then. That PM twisted my arm Elzar you little devil.

[Elzar]

You lost me at Samie.

I got told off for missing someone off last time when they just made a funny post and I presumed because they hadn't said "IN" they weren't joining

Is this a no or yes? 

[El Lobo]

Yeah I do like Bettys idea, gives it a bit more edge.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

[Samie]

I am in Nabil my son. 

[Crosby Nick]

Oh, it’s a no.

[tubby]

I'll play if Liverpool buy someone else for at least £20m before the draft starts.

[Samie]

You'll play if someone offers you a Galaxy mate.

Also sent out multiple PM's Nabil. 

[Lastrador]

 

[vivabobbygraham]

Do we include national sides or just as club managers?

[vivabobbygraham]

Oh, it’s a no.

Oh, ffs, Nick, stop playing hard to get you little trollope

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Oh, it’s a no.

Why you scared?

[Crosby Nick]

It appears too hard for me. It requires an element of research I can’t commit to.

I prefer turning up off the beach and winning in a Denmark 92 style like that recent one I won.

Lazy arse

[Max_powers]

Count me in

[El Lobo]

Not to give away any trade secrets.....but transfermarkt have a good tool for this sort of thing if you're fancying it but thinking its too much work

[Hazell]

In please.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Cleveland Brown wants in

[Max_powers]

Are national team players fine too if they played under these managers?

[vivabobbygraham]

Yeah I do like Bettys idea, gives it a bit more edge.

Of course you do...

[vivabobbygraham]

Are national team players are fine too if they played under these managers?

I sort of asked the same question Max,  but far more comprehensible

English is my third language. I am working with master Samie on perfecting it.

I'm saying yes.

Right, I'm just going to go with what my instincts told me when I started, unless there is a majority decision on the rules.

Lets see if we can get a couple more in and start over the weekend.

[Drinks Sangria]

When is the drafting commencing? I’m mad busy today but will sign up if it’s starting tomorrow/Sunday.

Probably over the weekend, and as it's match day it will be slow first round.

Pay no heed, Max. I'm doing my usual alienation of the voters routine so I can justify my thinking, 'they all hate me' rather than actually drafting a shite team when I go out 1st round....don't Lobo 

[Betty Blue]

Will the players be judged on their performances under said manager or all-time?

[El Lobo]

I'd say leave it open to just all time career as that makes it a bit more tactical, but this is RAWK so people will just invent their own reasons to vote anyway

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I thought the whole point was to judge the players under the managers reign?

[Elzar]

I suppose one way to look at it is that we are seeing which managers had the best players play under him. Regardless of what voting restrictions we put on it, people will vote for whatever they feel like anyway

Yea true enough.
