Getting this thread back to its intended nature...debating on the selection of U-21 coach.
As always I am an ardent supporter of home talent. Two reasons really. First and foremost to allow our home talents opportunities to grow within the BB community. And secondly more selfish, my nationalistic tendencies. I remember back in Season 3 when most of the veterans (Spaz, TerFu, Ginakia, PJ Reds, KMC RA, Too Cool and a few others) started playing BB in a serious manner, we had a foreign NT ie. Iniessa (but he disappeared) to lead our national cause. The following season I ended up as NT for a term and I had to take a crash course in the finer aspects of the game. And it helped my development and understanding of the game a whole lot. After me, there was Spaz then Ahmoi. And I really see that there's a lot of others that can easily take up the rein, and these bunch of people are locals. So we do not lack talented and committed locals that can easily manage either our NT or U-21.
The excitement and commitment level in our local community has continued to increase season after season. In comparison to Hattrick in which I am currently the U-20 coach, I see a lot more enthusiasm here in BB than in HT! And that bodes well for the continuous development of our national teams. TerFu has in no small part played a huge role in this (as can be seen from his postings and ever presence in the forum). No disrespect intended to the foreign candidates, but for the benefit of our local BB community I am trumpeting the need for more local managers to come forth and stand for future elections. Do not be afraid or feel inferior in terms of game knowledge. Just know that if you are ever elected, your knowledge will only increase and you will be a better manager in BB. So for now, I'm putting my money behind TerFu for continuation.
Good luck to all the candidates! Malaysia Boleh!
