Yeah iwen already took Ponting LOL

The reason I value longevity in the game is because whoever is going to the U21 manager will most likely be creating the Federation for the U21. If that manager decides to go inactive, then the Fed will most likely go inactive too due to lack of maintenance. What are the powers of a mod in the Federation should the creator go inactive?

Can they invite new people to the Fed or boot people from the Fed?
Can they modify/sticky threads in the Fed?

A mighty fine response! Credit where it is due.

Even though the voting has just opened, I think that your response will have earned you many votes.

Good job Mr Green.


Last night when I was reading through all these excellent posts by you articulate fellers, I was shocked at how hard you shot down Mr.Green, Razor, way too harsh (I thought). Then, you totally redeemed yourself by this post, jolly good show!

Iwen as the pure voice of rationalism as ever, the call about managers getting bogged down by a difficult DivIII league sounds rather familiar, and my excuse for being guilty for going inactive. And sage wisdom from Yoda as usual.

I concur with the idea that it is motivation and enthusiasm that makes for a fun and spirited community, not so much about giving the 'best' manager the U21 job. I think it does boil down to having fun in this game, at least that is what I have had to make it for, as I have never been competitive. So lets have fun, managers! :)

PnRoll is a buddy from waaay back in IV.7 days for me, but like you say Mr. Green I'll hold off on making a final decision on my vote, as it is now more interesting.

Only the creator of a Federation add and remove people from it. Which is why for me a Federation is not the answer. If it could be set up and the elected manager was given those powers and non supporters could join these federations only I would be all for it. We have well less then 100 people with supporter.

The person who creates the federation can transfer the ownership to someone else. But that is counting on them doing it. If a person goes bot for example not sure what happens to the federation. Just too many unknown issues with using a federation.

There are already 2 people who have set up Federations for the 21 NT side. One being Mr Green and the other someone not running as yet.

Ah hem. Fantastic thread, really. I enjoyed reading through it.

But as Phil Duffie ala Modern family puts it.......

Okay lets get real people!!

Question for those running.


Q: Who have you trained for the Australian U21 or National team sides. List who you have trained and what you sacrificed to train them up to U21/NT standards.

If you have not trained anyone for the U21 or NT sides, list someone you purchased to assist the U21 or NT side.

If you cant answer either question, perhaps you should try.....

Likewise.

But hey, before you manage the team, at least train a player up to the standard right?

Well I haven't trained anyone up for the team but I have coached at NT level so I guess that would count.

I like to go by the philosophy of those who cant coach, train. And those who can't train, buy
