1) Because I'm the best candidate. Others have had their shot. Don't think they are deserving of another.
2) Average. Did OK with what talent he had but what kind of support/enthusiasm did he get from the community. Not a whole lot.
3) Complete 90% of my arena. Continue to train my 3 SFs. Perhaps sell Klimo and grab another Canadian.

You assume my team goal this year is to make Naismith.
You assume incorrectly.


I assume nothing, this was in response to another revving up your win pct built up mostly in Div III

Because I'm the best candidate. Others have had their shot. Don't think they are deserving of another.


Wrong, plenty of sports managers have gone on to win multiple championships, using the experience they gained.
Baseball fans will note Joe Torre failed several teams before becoming a Hall of fame manager

I've worked 24 of the past 36 hours. How many games of Xbox did you get in?


I'm sure your employer is quite lucky to have you but
perhaps you are too busy to run the U21 team

What makes you so great.
You haven't trained a single great player yet so, how do we know you can help other teams train players.

OK with what talent


I didn't get much talent.
Remember that the player's future U21 manager was an inactive Kumiko.
The managers got no training advice for a half of a season.

Yet you want to hedge a bet on who will make Naismith this year.

Joe Torre hah. Love the nose hair.

Sorry, my life did not revolve around this forum for the last day and a half. Yes, let's stretch that out into commitment for the entire U21 season shall we. Nice one.

If that's your conclusion on my words in that post I wonder about your ability to communicate with other managers on a regular basis

Alright I've been working quite a lot this week end as well (not even for an employer), this probably means that I too am too busy for u21. I don't think I'll write a speach, it's a little too late for that and frankly I don't have the inspiration.
headless you proved my point with you u21 player that only played a couple minutes in you very important game, Naismith, and even d2 are leagues where the average salary is at least 4 or 5 times the average salary of the u21 team, clearly the games are not won using the same strategies.
As for this election I'm a bit surprised that GM didn't participate. Sure his results were average and there was no communication at all, but he's probably tirerd of managing an average team with no way whatsoever of improving it. That's the problem with u21, and quite frankly I don't know how to solve it. There are even less managers in Canada nowadays, so the number of potential players is even lower.
In the past seasons I've been more interested in the NT than the U21 so I'm certainly not the best manager for it, but I still train my players and still have fun doing it.
In the end I'll just say that you already had your shot at it sparky, and the results were average at best, and GM's 2 seasons were also average, so you also failed when it comes to interest managers in training players for the u21 team. But that's it I won't go anymore into personal attacks, if someone wants to vote for me, great! But any of the others will probably be fine as well.

I mean what would you do different from us?


This statement alone, proves to me that Sparky has not learned from his previous U21 experience. At the time it was pointed out that we feel he did an adequate job. The fact that he openly admits he is not working alone makes the voting decision easy for me.

Maybe you can clarify what this actually means just in case I am misinterpreting something...

I agree that it would be great to see someone new give the U21 team a shot, but honestly the group of candidates is so far underwhelming.

Someone please step up and separate yourself from the pack!

I made a grammar error. I do work alone.

Fwinns misspelled speech. Which proves that nobody is perfect.

this whole debate has been "look at what I have done compared to the others." Which is odd, I don't care how whatever you have done looks compared to what the other guy has done. A 2/10 is better than a 1/10, but it's still a 2/10.

Just talk about yourself, explain why you're a good candidate regardless of who is running, prove yourself, don't bring others down this isnt the election for a new prime minister.
