Yeah i remember when i got in like 30 mins after i got elected i had 15 votes and a 25% rating. My theory is the losing candidates do it and get their friends to as well as their cut they lost. It evens back out over time as the regular people who have given him a chance vote though so i doubt he has anything to worry about...

He should care more about the opinions of the respected contributors over on bb-stats as I'd say they're a major reason as to why he got up, i know i care more about what they think then the approval rating...

As a National team coach he has to make some tough decisions which are going to upset some people.

Whilst I haven't voted against him, I imagine that other coaches like myself have had players dropped off the National Under 21 squad and that some of these coaches my react by voting against him.

Not easy being a coach of a national team I guess.

i would say dont mind wha they think or what ever the approval rating be

just get there , work that team up and win games and get us up there

if thats done no approval rating is going to damn even speak versus about what the accomplishment may there be.

Just one point on the approval rating, the lower it is the harder I'll work and communicate with everyone in an attempt to raise it. I think i'll give it a week and then see how the approval rating is after everyone has their vote. If it is still low (below 70%) then alarms will be ringing.

Yea i dunno, id give it time to let the rating even out, like c-cat said proberly disgrutled election runners. Wouldnt worry too much about it. Really you cant judge a manager until they have picked the team and played a game. You havent done anything yet that we can dissaprove of.

look you cant please anyone the bottom line is if your winning what can they do about it. i think communicating with people will be your least problem because surely if i have a nice player i would want him to be in the national team

dont think about it too much

like me a lot of people hate me but im still winning i won back to back and they cant do anything about it.

just look at how the comments are if another person plays in the championship almost all the cheer and goodluck goes to that person , when another person beat me the congratulations were more than me winning it. i mean i almost dont get any congrats for winning it.

so take it as i do , dont think about it. surely there are other better people out there willing to help you

J-Dog you got 40% of the vote. Amazing.

Its at 70% right now.

It will go down or up based on your games now.

I like to start the u21 with approval for the coach (especially if I voted for him) only changing if he really is not doing a good job.

Seem people might be not voting til they get a result first to have something to judge you on.

you can't please everyone.

Hey Guys,

We had a good win last week, let's see if we can really get our team rolling against Lubnan this week.

Tactics are posted on BB-Stats (http://www.bb-stats.org/forum/index.php), so let me know what we think.

Also last week I said that if my approval rating was to drop below 70% I would find out why I have being getting disapproving votes and try to fix the problems that are causing these types of votes. So let me know the reasons why I have disapproving votes, preferably from the managers that voted disapprove and we will work out ways to make those voters happy.

Thanks Everyone

Hi J-Dog,

I agree that its good that you encourage feedback and continue to listen to others but I hope you don't make the mistake of worrying too much about what others think.

I appreciate the advice that both yourself and C-Cat have given me in the past and you seem of good character so just do your best rather than getting weighed down by popularity polls.

My one suggestion to make the Australian underage and open teams stronger is to plan long term.

That is don't just concentrate on the players who are 20 or 21 and who are in the team or are on the verge of being in the team.

What Portugal did with me last season is they contacted me when I purchased a 18 year old potugese player and started making suggestions as to what and how I should train him and gave me feedback as to what skill levels I had to get him to by the age of 20 so that he would be drafted into the Portugal under 21 team at that stage.

Apologies if yourself and or others do this already.

Sid
