Seoul Magpie Press Conference

[Purple 77]

After the sudden and unfortunate departure of the previous coach of the Seoul Magpies, ossie85, a new coach has been selected!

The door opens....... he walks in......... cameras going like crazy as he sits down and makes his first address to the WXV community.......

Suddenly a streaker appears...




But is quickly ushered away...

[Spinking]

*Security jumps on the nude, heavily greased, CrowsFan rapidly ushering him out a side door*

Thanks Purps for the introduction and for conducting the recruitment process.  Thanks to all for voting, and commiserations to those who missed out on the role.

As the new coach of Seoul I have mixed emotions.  I'm thrilled to be given a chance to have a run in this competition, but sad that this comes at the expense of Os.  I hope to able to contribute even a fraction of what he has to the WXV.

Seoul have an interesting few months ahead.  I am a fan of aggressive trading, however I will take some time to evaluate the list and set a direction before making too many moves.  I consider the Seoul list to be among the deepest in the league and will be looking to add some polish to it's starting 15 where possible.

Thanks again for the opportunity.  Happy to answer any questions from the press... Looking forward to the banter!  Bring it on lads!

Hey hey hey that wasn't me streaking. I was in a board meeting with the rest of the São Paulo board at the time and they will all back me up on that!

Anyway congrats on getting the job spink :)

[Spinking]

Thanks CF!

Two quick things to add.

I've appointed JBs Hawks as an assistant to help usher in this new era at the Magpies.  JBH will be involved in several capacities including trade negotiation, and have a role in naming teams etc on a weekly basis.

Secondly I want to thank MyChumps for giving me my first Assistant Coach role at Cape Town. He is a great coach, will probably win the flag this year, and was sensational to work for.  I wish the Cobras all the best in the future.

[Capper]

Well done and congrats Spinking

[JBs-Hawks]

Congrats Spink, Seoul has been left in very safe hands and I'm look forward to working with you to continue on ossie's good work.

[Maca24]

Congratulations to Spink and JB! Good result for the competitions sake and I wish you both luck with Seoul.
You were my 1 and 2 for the job, so as a member of the worlds I'm happy to see you both as part of the Magpies.

[Purple 77]

Well that works in well :)

JBs-Hawks came second and was about 10 votes behind Spinking, actually pretty close when you think about it.

[Torpedo10]

Congratulations Spink..... :)

[AFEV]

Woo! Congrats Spink, look forward to working with you more in the future and I'm confident you'll be a valued addition to the WXV community.

Big welcome. :)

Well done Spinks, reckon the team is in good hands. May you have better luck than I did! (losing with a 160+ score :/ , missing finals by 0.67% )
