I'm in a quandary.
I'd actually like to hear from Swoosh, and how keen is. Because if he's keen, and eager to do the job (including scrimmages/communication), then I'd be enthusiastic about him.
But if he's not... then I'd prefer someone who wants the job. I get that sometimes we get too busy to commit to something as minor as a game - that's where I am (no way on earth would I take this on, given I couldn't give it anything remotely resembling an appropriate amount of time), so I appreciate Swoosh's gesture of putting his name forward because no-one else would.

Would really like clarification on how enthused he is.

PS:
There is one japan manager who reacted to your presence here. A thought on that ? Because, if I'm meaningless, he is not for two reasons. He is a japan manager and he is the U21 coach.

Untrue.
I reacted to his presence in an appropriate fashion - I asked him legitimate questions as to his plans in regards to the NT position. I don't know the guy either, and would like to learn more before I cast my vote.
Swoosh I like, but I'm not sure if he's putting his name forward just out of nationalistic duty, or if he really wants to do it.

If you think I'm obliquely suggesting that the reaction you & Nik0 gave him was inappropriate, then you'd be entirely correct. C'mon guys... if you have queries about his intentions - fine. But to indulge in completely ripping the guy? Really?

That's right, I missed your post, mea culpa. It seems I wasn't the only one.

As for my reaction, it was solely based on the fact that Kirltom posted a candidature in Pakistan the day before and as GM I see numerous people posting candidatures in several countries each season and I find that quite funny the fact they don't know beforehand where they want to land.

I said several times after that if the Japan managers want Kirltom as NT coach, it's up to them and I have no say in it, but I keep my rights to post in this debate or other thread over here.

Err... "wasn't the only one"? Weren't you the only one making commentary about 'Japanese managers reacting'?

And absolutely, you are welcome to post in this debate (well... 'free to'. 'Welcome' might be stretching the reality of it). But wouldn't there be a more appropriate way for you to raise concerns about a manager? Between two GMs commenting - it was pretty antagonistic - something you've castigated me in the past for.

And guys (Nik0/Perpete) - you simply can't divorce yourself from being a GM. You are, and despite what you might say, you're always *taken* as GMs.

No worries. I just thought it was strange for him to start his Election Speech with " Wolph talked me into running......"

I am not saying it will cost him votes because people in Japan LOVE YOU!!!(Hahahahaha)

It reminds of the time when Sharman talked BJ Samurai into running.....That was very bad.

Hey...I like the fact that there are two GMs in here posting. It shows they care about Nippon.
And the concerns they bring up are real concerns. Why does he(Aussie dude) think he can come in here and poach the job? Was Pakistan too small for him? This guy might be a decent manager and if he gets the job...Good!. My problem was his entrance into the election.
I still have my vote on Swoosh with the hope he wakes up and can find a scrimmage when we need one.

I have no issue with the GMs posting... and it is good that they raise whatever concerns they have. I do think they could take a lil' care in not trashing the guy.

As I said earlier: I'm torn. If Swoosh says he's all in, then he has my vote. If not... it could go either way for me.
