First of all, your interest is "only 50%" and we need fully devoted and motivated people to maintain the progress here in Scotland.

Secondly, how can you say "I can teach you a better system of guiding and training youths" if you aren't familiar with the one we're using right now? :)

Thirdly, I have a few friends that have been managers of U21 teams much bigger than Scotland and have won the highest leagues of those countries as well so I really do have someone to learn from already. In addition to that, our current NT manager Calum has tons of experience and has already proven himself to be a capable manager and I'm always open to his advice.

Then again you said you quit because of personal reasons in the past which shows that it's likely to happen again so that's a little risky as well.

I'd be happy to see some competition in the elections so you're welcome to join but I'm not willing to leave a project which has been developing for 2 seasons and hand it over to a guy I don't even know so I would have to reject your offer.

Then there it is.. :) I respect your decision. I wish this community the best in developing their youth.

I see a bright future ahead in Scotland and believe that Calvin Harris is really making a good impact in this community.
I just think one of this days Scotland will not require any more help outside their country for they will be dangerous in the next up-coming seasons. No offense to Calum.


For now, I would focus on our NT team on new strategies of our up-coming matches to make a statement that our newly styled game is something to watch out internationally.



Till next time..

I think at the moment we have a great staff for the NT and U21.

but if you really want to help, just buy a scotish trainee and train him for more than 2 seasons... that would be helpful.

Cheers!

hello Calvin,

why did you select only 10 players in U21 NT ?

12 or 13 , will be better , no ? for more tactics choices , no ?

lot of NT select 14 or 15 players , and have the choice between these players when one of these players have a poor stamina during a week ...

But if he only selects so few he has always the possibility to nominate others. And he's doing a great job so far and I guess all of the players on his roster get training...

I selected as few players as possible because I wanted to leave as much space for players that needed to be saved as possible. Unfortunately, this season didn't provide as much opportunities to do that when compared to the previous season.

Yes, that's also a very good reason to leave that many spots open. I did the same in Germany :-)

Hi guys it seems like Calvin is likely to be kept on as the U-21 manager so I think I'll give a slight assessment of where I think things will go/ are looking for the next 2 seasons.

Firstly the last 2 seasons Calvin has been pretty successful with some strong results and climbing the rankings so anyone who had been in anyway involved with the players from the squad over the last 2 seasons should be commended for the hard work and thanked from the current U-21 regime, /i don't really want to list names ect So I'll just say thank you on behalf on the guys involved with the squad to all.

If Calvin i re-elected or not I don't want anyone to expect the climb to continue or results to keep coming, very few players have stepped up to replace the core nucleus of the squad from last season so the strength of the squad from my early look at how the players have progressed (using only salary and the few players I have been able to update towards the end of last season thanks to the managers of those players) anyway the next 2 seasons are going to be extremely challenging from every aspect of the game.

It is going to be a tough watch I fear early in the the first season at least, all I can hope is with the view and updates calvin will be able to have paints a stronger picture than what it is looking like so far.


I also hope those who are training Scottish player are able to continue the progress a lot of managers have been able to make.

James.
