Well tremell isn't speaking for himself so I will say something for him. He is a very clever and patient manager even though he has been one of my most bitter rivals ever in this game I give him 100% respect for playing hard, clean and clever. He is now in the ABBL. He is very experienced having played for many, many seasons starting way back in season seven.

As long as he doesn't decide to tank the team down to the salary floor to save for a future run we will be in great hands with him.

I will wait a few days to see who puts their hand up, but at this moment, I have no intention of running again.

Well he's my endorsement.

Worked hard. Nobody deserves it over him.

Would really love to answer some questions you guys have, my speech was basically just a quick introduction.

I realise it will be difficult to get votes from the general Australian consensus when up against an ABBL manager without showing my plans and knowledge of the game considering I'm still in Division III

With BBstats dead (as far as I know) how will you try to involve the community in the way we used to? (Scouting, mentoring, tactical discussions etc)

From what I've seen the bbstats forums are still in working order although they're rather inactive compared to the mllama reign. So i'll probably do the usual which is post the match in the U21 forum with my opinion and leave it up for discussion as far as tactics go. I plan to keep personal track of scouting and have a rough outline of what a manager should be aiming for if they wish to get their player to representative level. Obviously my mailbox will be open for any particulars as far as different builds and finer matters such as elastic effects.

Hope this answers your question Mr. Yoda

As you said, you being in Division III will hinder your chances against your opposition who is currently in the ABBL. Speaking as a neutral party, (even though we're flatmates) what would make myself or any other Australian manager want to vote for you over Tremell?

Trust me when I say this, the effort needed to run a U21 national team is more than running your own club. I wouldn't vote for anyone who haven't posted a speech yet. If they don't have the time to post a speech, how would they find the time to run the U21 national team?

Well said, and it is something I wanted to address. I believe I've had more experience with previous U21 teams both training up a player (18085336), discussing tactics and being a mentor in the mentor program. Not to discredit Tremell who I know is a great manager and very experienced, I just feel that I would put the U21 team in the best possible spot for the present and the future.
