New press release for the U21 team.

Good stuff Leeroy.

The hardest job in BB is running the U21. That is my opinion of it anyways.

You did a great job. Well done and I will vote for you again once when you decide to run again.

I agree, I have had six seasons of running an U21 team now and it is exhausting, I am stepping down from Bolivia and putting my African aspirations on hold for a while, hopefully work gets easier next year right? Surely it can.

What Australia needs is a very capable manager who can unite people and get them involved, probably a polarising character like manbagman would be a massive risk. Still the official thread will open any day now nd remember it is against the rules to canvass for support outside the official threads.

I just hope some people are reading this and thinking, "maybe I could put my hand up for that job".

Can I take over Bolivia?

That is not my choice, but good luck.

Will Coachnoodles return from his exile in Wales to take over the reigns of the U21?

I doubt it - too much work involved for me in a country of this size.

Just for fun here are the top 10 players by salary at each age.

Iwen, Shanmag and Greeno have made training a priority and it has paid off. XBB has two in the top 20. Mickyster is doing brilliantly with Harry and could be a great recruit onto any coaching staff. Nice to see Mangocango still an exceptional trainer.

This is the big problem. I hope there are a lot of players being trained overseas or this is a team Bolivia could take on. Very poor lot of players here. Interesting Iwen also has #13 on this list.

For comparason our season 18 team had:
Nghiem Nguyên (18085300) Weekly salary: $ 72 246
Henry Moss (18085984) Weekly salary: $ 60 560
Chris Johnson (18924084) Weekly salary: $ 49 513
Gabriel Wall (18084302) Weekly salary: $ 45 336
Duane Quinton (18085476) Weekly salary: $ 43 408
Darren Hartley (18958336) Weekly salary: $ 40 351
Stephen Jankowski (18087010) Weekly salary: $ 38 888
Also Gerd Zero, Stuey Faka’osifolau, Vucko Šargić, Wade Drury etc...
A lot of great names there!

Season 19 I had hoped to get my trainee Kumar on the team, just under $20,000 salary, wondrous OD, not even close! This season he would be a lock!
