I guess I would actually need to sign up to run the team to be #1. I have already had offers from Moldova and Cyprus to run the team and turned them down. What makes Canada so special?

Run of the Mill Canadian Manager

Only a few days left of voting...where do you see the current results?

A lot of people registered but I believe I'm the only one running actually posting in the forums.

Oops, sorry that I forgot to include you on the list. I thought it would just be easier to put everyone's name there.

I thought about running it as well but I know I won't have time and I still need to get my team better...

Okay folks - ha ha. Good campaigns and all, but who actually are the real candidates and what are their plans for the team.

Question for all the real candidates (the rest of you are just mucking up the forum):
What would you change about the way the national team has been run in the past?

The main thing would be user involvement and Writeups. Users have been fairly involved already with the past managera, but I feel like they can be involved more and I hope I can do that.

Also you can expect more writeups which will help the user involvement and hopefully interest people in trying to get players on th NT and more interested in the NT.

Other then that, there is not much more I can try to do with the team tactic wise and player wise maybe be a little more creative with our offensive and defensive strategies, but im not to sure on that one ;) the way the team has been run the past few seasons has been exceptional and we have gotten some good results. I can only hope to further those results.

if i do decide to register and run at the last minute before the deadline. my plans would be as follows.
i wouldn't change a lot as i believe the team has been achieving results that are indicative of the talent level currently with Canada.
what i would do:
try to continue to get strong results that are expected with the current talent available.
as i've said - HPP gets a roster spot and so do I!
i do have experience running a national team with 4 seasons of the U21 team previously, so i would be familiar with tactics for and against us come game time.
i have always been willing to be open to conversation regarding players, tactics, etc with any managers that are interested in providing input, insight, criticism, etc and i would continue that over the next two seasons with the national team.
i can't promise any big fancy writeups in the forums or offsite forum, as those who know me, know that i have a very busy life with work, family, and coaching in the real world, especially over the next few months as i run a high school football program and it is my busiest time of the year.

basically if you want an experienced manager who's spent many seasons in naismith before my current division 2 time, as well as national team experience. than that's what i can offer. i won't make promises to be the most vocal, rah rah, person, as i honestly don't have the countless hours to spend online doing that with everyone. but i would promise to interact and communicate 100% of the time with anything initiated by others directed towards me and the national team.
