British 15's - Discussion thread

Well I'm sure MTTY has discussed his absence with himself so there fore we can't sack him ;)


And if your trying to bring rules like that up then I don't think you have the right attitude to take a care taker role.

[Spinking]

Good debate so far. I'll be led by the opinions of the coaches so make sure you put your opinion forward if you have one.

I posted it somewhere here but Im also happy to help out with MTTY's team if needed, I swear I posted before? o.O

Noted Koop. With 2 names put forward we may have to vote if it gets to that. Thanks for putting your hand up also.

Manchester V Hebden Bridge....IT'S ON.

Good let FS coach MTTY's team and then MTTY might take the spoon off Nails.

[FisherSaints]

I wasn't planning on making any drastic changes

[JBs-Hawks]

I just looked at his team and whilst I would love to weasel some of his players off of him he doesn't have any gaping holes other then maybe needing to draft a forward or too.

We don't know his strategies so I say let him wait off if he's not back by December then maybe someone can look after his team in trade period 2.

Got a bit nostalgic when I saw your new DP Tabs. Graham and the Colonel!!! Absolute Classic!

Tipping the Losters to narrowly win the first LiveStein Cup!

Favoritism cmon demetriou, arent you meant to not be biased??

:P

Should be a good tussle

[Fletch74]

I'll be your rival or anyone's, I don't think i have a rival yet, pity the fool that steps up to the plate  8)

Likewise, anyone game enough to challenge GAJ and Pendles in the midfield :)

If no one has gone with you yet Fletch, we can be rivals?

Done :)

Spinking, you can't just let someone waltz in and take over MTTY's team and trade it away...

Locking in the Leeds / Nottingham rivalry! Just need Bilston (Boomz), Grope Lane (Nails), Hastings (MTTY) Oxford (Noz), Swindon  (Hawka) and Swansea (Ringo) to lock in their rivalries and then the fixture will be released.

Thanks everyone for the comments and PMs regarding how we manage the Hurricanes in MTTYs absence. There appears to be general support for leaving the team intact until such time as MTTY has let us know what is happening.

My decision at this stage is that the team will remain intact until the drafts where a caretaker coach will do the drafting. We will revisit things again after that.

[Spinking]

Fixture for the first 2 rounds are now up, plus the majority of Round 7 (Rivalry Round). Haven't been able to list grounds for some teams as they aren't nominated in your team threads, so get those updated when you can.

Got a bit of a lull now before the Nat and Rookie drafts. Don't mind if we have a lack of activity now as long as everyone fires up again when it's time for the drafts. Perhaps in the meantime folks can check out our rules and information thread. I'm trying to make it our one stop information hub. Please post up comments or suggestions on how this could be improved.

I'm for Administrator (Spinking - Sole at presnt - Joint if and when MTTY returns ). Administering MTTY team over the upcoming drafts.

It is not ideal but understandably ( he started this comp), everyone seems to want to extend to MTTY an unlimited amount of leeway so the only way to approach it is to have Spinking draft on his behalf and he SITS OUT trading - as others have said, better he misses the trade periods completely than have trades made he doesn't want to make....

and good job spinking, did you get my rivalry sorted ?

threads look great mate again good work :)

[Torpedo10]

Spink, in euros me and ele played of for the RCC ( Red Cross Cup). Is there any chance we could do something similar for our second meeting? Interesting first 2 rounds, Colli and MTTY.

I like it Torp. I'll lock that in.

Again I respect your view too CW.

I'd agree with you entirely if MTTY was away for a long period of time, but if he is away for 2 weeks, then he should.be sacked... You don't know what's happened to them in their personal life. I know I once had a situation where I cut myself off from the world for a few weeks and didn't really explain myself to anyone, before forums were even thought of... lol

Who knows what has happened to him, but I think it is unfair that someone should be sacked. I don't mind the co-admin thing, and I'm sure MTTY would be fine as well, but not sacked. I think that is a bit harsh!

Hence, I am fine to continue my affiliation with the comp, as long as it is not a takeover. I just chose to abstain as I felt it was right. I knew that my vote would have little impact, as it stands I would have voted for Spinking, but just felt right to sit it out.

Ok, I've now seen that MTTY has been back on site and created his own phantom draft, but hasn't popped his head in here...

What happened to deter him from continuing with the BXV's?

[Fletch74]

I've sent him a PM. I think its best he at least has a right of reply before that is done CW.

Something has pissed him off. Wouldn't it be best if he does come back and participate, and everything is forgotten, rather than just sack him, get a new manager, and waste time!!

You're right about one thing though, no other manager would probably be allowed to do this, but if they had a clear explanation, then it would be ok, so lets see if MTTY has one as well.

I'm sure he's been contacted, but has not responded, hence the reason for your opinion, but I've explained a few things in my PM about what my view was beforehand, so I'm hoping that might smooth things over. Probably won't, but lets wait and see.
