How much do they need to sacrifice? What causes this need? How could we get round the problem?

I've always agreed with Elmacca historically that having an EBBL manager as NT manager is undesirable as it introduces an element of advantage into the domestic league. Gully is an exception given that he promoted while being NT manager. Something which can hardly have influenced the vote at the last election. I've specifically ducked out of the U21 NT managing scene and do not plan to run for NT until I am not in a position to use information to my advantage. When I get to that point (I will be looking to train SF's next) I'll duck out of the EBBL and be in a place to put my name forward.

Simpson is a very fine C and one of the best we have. Simply put, he may have had holes but honestly, he was one of the best we had. I agree with you fury that to tackle this, we would need a 2-3 year investment from a core of 15 odd managers working on players for the NT in the same way as other nations have. However that means putting country ahead of team and many managers are not prepared to do this. I have already gone on record to say that I am willing and already have done so training the two players I have.

I was thinking of the time really. It would be far better for more people to produce a single player rather than have fewer players producing multiple players, but the fact is, as Vecx says, its hard to get people to put the NT ahead of their own team. And I should point out here, I've not done that.

Back to the EBBL for a moment. According to buzzer manager the most efficient SF tonight was this player of mine (25079470). I can't complain about this of course, but if anyone can explain how he did so well, I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
I do feel I would give this set of players the best chance of qualification but as a number of you have pointed out, it would be inconsistent with my stated views to run while still being a factor in the EBBL, even if my team isn't very good at the moment.

Since my post, other potential candidates have reached out to me and let me know of their intention to run, so I will most likely wait until I see how they do before re-considering my position towards the end of their term.
