Well this was always going to be a difficult task but what you have achieved both this season and especially last season has been very impressive. Certainly a highly succesful tenure. I assume we keep the curent team for the last meaningful game (as it does have a large impact on our rankings) but then will be starting to look at next season's players?

That's the aim, yes. I've been in close contact with players for next season, it certainly is a strong one.

I think he should cull and put in other players, such as my own, so that I can get a boost in merchandise

I mean

so that they can get some U21 experience before next season.

Ha ha, Nash is 21, so he won't be in line for a development spot sorry. Kewell would have to be, and I haven't seen "long fur bob" (33832870) for a while.

I really disapprove of the pulling of the real players while there are real games for several reasons:

1) It affects our national rankings.
2) It can upset tournament results and be unfair to other teams who had aims we don't know about.
3) It is unfair on the trainers of the U2 players, they spend four seasons preparing for their moment in the sunlight and then to get yanked sometimes after just a few games is a pathetic way to treat them. They deserve to play all of the real games.
4) It is a good opportunity to be a little experimental and try things out in the U21 environment and hopefully learn a thing or two.

Yeah agree, Im certainly not changing the team at all until all of our real games are over. To the best of my knowledge, that is after this week. Once we play China, I think I have to book scrimmages. If this is the case, I think im following previous managers footsteps in adding 20yr olds for scrimmages. Correct me if im wrong.

I was even contemplating not adding the 20yr olds during the scrimmages, because I thought they affected the rankings too, and I want to stay inside the top 10

I know i jest, but i do actually agree with yoda. I know managers have done it in previous seasons, (once out of cup, pulled the 21 year olds and given the 20's a go) but i just never saw the point and thought it was crap.
