Hi everyone , Changing face of English football (English coaching revolution). I thought that I would try a experiment by creating new young English born non-playing staffs ie (managers, assistants & coaches for the first teams & youth teams etc) in the database. Setting them up as more technical coaches like their foreign counterparts in ball control, tactics & formations to try encourage more Spanish tiki-taka style football or Dutch total style football (attacking short passing possession style football), because it seems a lot of English managers & coaches seem to set up to play to more old fashioned formations & tactical style of play?. Formations being 4-6-0, 2-3-3-0, 4-1-2-3, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 Denmark style or even 3-4-3 & 3-1-3-1-2 etc. By copying clubs like F.C. Barcelona & AFC Ajax etc or countries like Spain & Denmark etc, and non-playing staff like Josep (Pep) Guardiola, Marcelo Bielsa, Michael Laudrup, Johan Cruijff, Luis Aragones, Vicente Del Bosque, Arsene Wenger, Frank De Boer, Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers etc. And giving them a high attribute in working with youngsters, by doing this I'm hoping to produce more English youngsters with technical attributes to play attacking short passing possession style football? like Dutch/Spanish/French national youth system and Dutch/Spanish/French clubs youth academies. And leave them unemployed?, not sure about given them lower current/world/home reputation, or lower current ability/potential ability?, I had thought about setting their CA at 100 and PA at 200 or -10, if you look on fm scout's genie you find yourself as a manager and the game seems set the CA at 100 and PA at 200 for yourself. I also thought I would set current & home reputation at 50 and world reputation at 10, than one's I've copied?. Also I might change their coaching abilities if not set up for coaching (if more of manager than coach), maybe also add a few directors of football & heads of youth development as well. Maybe play with the idea to pick a English lower league club playing lower than Blue Square Bet divisions and copying Boreham Wood set up with training ground next to stadium ground (their stadium is Meadow Park with training ground next to it, that's called Meadow Park all-weather pitch) and copying Crewe Alexandra for training, youth facilities & youth setup, recruitment & junior coaching, also change the clubs tactical attributes and preferred formations as well?. Plus adding staff as well. I've quick count up I reckon need about twenty-six (26) staff for perfect set up?, a director of football (1), a first team manager (1), a first team assistant manager (1), coaches (5) tactical, ball control, attacking, defensive & shooting, goalkeeping coaches (2) shot stopping, handling, fitness coaches (2) strength, aerobic, a head of youth development (1), a under'18 (youth) team manager (1), a under'18 (youth) team assistant manager (1), physio's (2) one for each team, possible another (7) more coaches if make first lot first team coaches. I assume normal coaches & goalkeeping/fitness coaches train first team & youth team as before in the older FM game series. And not including a chief scout, scouts or a set up for reserve team ie a manager & a assistant manager!. Does anyone else have any thoughts on these ideas ie suggestions or advice? they very welcome!.
