My Final Post 0n The Rolex Forums.

Guys

I am making this my final post on The Rolex Forums as I am about to leave the country.

This will be my last opportunity to correspond with you for sometime.
Bags are packed and I'm ready to leave. I would have let you all know sooner,
but circumstances dictated that this was not possible. An exciting new Job opportunity
was offered to me this week, and I needed to make a quick decision, in order to secure this position.

I have decided to go and manage a football team... I realise that this May come as a shock to my fellow
WIZs, but I have always secretly harboured such a desire,and I could not turn down this once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfil my personal dream.


The team is based in Northern Brazil. This is a very poor & remote area of
the country, with the nearest city being some 200km away.
Communications are primitive by western standards, the infra-structure
antiquated, and living standards basic. On top of this, the area suffers from
Torrential rainstorms.

Despite all this I am looking forward to the challenge ahead. One of The
main aspects of the job is to stay in close contact with the team, day and
night. We will adopt an Italian style closed training camp regime with no
outside contact, except when playing our games. This will give me ample
opportunity to focus on individual players and the team as a whole. I am
looking forward to the close and intense bonds that this will hopefully
create. Both the players and myself appreciate that we must be prepared To
give, as well as receive, and as much as humanly possible.

There is no postal service, telephone network, or Internet facilities, so
I won't be able to communicate with you again....

It will be just me and the team, 24/7. If you are interested I have attached
a photo of the team.....

As I will be working with obviously inexperienced talent, I can see it will be hard for most of the time.

Fortunately, I did see it before John got rid of his avatar. I happened to be in a meeting when I saw the thread, and nearly choked with laughter. Naturally everyone else in the meeting looked at me a little strangely.
