Lol tantrum anyone?

Get over yourself.

Ummm... whilst YC could *maybe* be a bit more welcoming, worth noting that you're the new guy on the block - it's on you to do your best to fit in... not on YC to lay down a red carpet.
Might be wise to put aside any perceived slights, and try and make peace there. YC's an integral part of our community - a good guy and a good coach to boot.

A barny between the NT/U21 coaches (with the U21 coach having members on your roster) on Day 2 of your tenure doesn't bode well.

I'm happy to put people in their place, YC was having a hissy fit that I hope is now over.

That said, I agree YC is a important part of the community and am happy to work with him in further developing the NT side.

Are you F*CKING Kidding me with writing this BULLSH*T????
No, it wasn't a hissy fit. You need to take a reading comprehension class. And putting me in my place would take a physical act. And that isn't going to happen. Damn..this new guy is an idiot.
Now I know....NIPPON just got screwed.

Respectfully Tom, I'm not sure it's your place to do so... and in attempting it you run the risk of not only losing YC, but other managers in the process.
BJ Samuraj tried to run the NT with jackboots on, it ended up quite badly for all concerned (including him). He was the last "non-Japanese" NT manager we've had, and we're not too keen for a repeat. Which is why there may be a bit of tension to begin with.
Once you signed up as being an NT manager, I believe you forfeited the freedom to "put people in their place". Especially in a community of this size. Doing so will just make your job harder.

I see the NT/U21 jobs not as "positions of power" per se, but as "positions of responsibility". Maintaining a good working relationship with each and every manager within the nation is the responsibility of both of those positions... along with a host of other responsibilities. It's a time-sink, and frankly the primary reason why I didn't run.

I see your biggest task initially as allaying any fears/qualms/worries that the Nippon community may have. I think that's even more important than adding to the roster, or working out what strategies you're going to employ, or working on training suggestions for the current roster. You now have to build up trust with each of us.

This is a small community - quite unlike Australia. Nothing will happen without a good working relationship within this community.

You forgot about BR66 (I think that was his name)

Let it all out big fella. When your done, lets talk about your players in the NT side and stop this trolling.

Speaking plainly now: dude, stop it.

So now I am trolling? And what are you doing?
