I mean, if this was a meritocracy I'd be the shoo-in choice for the manager. But that is not how these elections go, which is a shame since the reigns should be passed to the right choice, and not the hot choice.

In the past we have had some managers who like doing their own thing, and disregard opinions. Whether that be from personal interest, opinion, or spite, it creates an unfriendly community, and my goal is to make everyone feel like they are heard. I feel as though this also addresses your second question, as a great idea tactially or training plan could be the new weapon we need to get a step up on the competition.

No1 shows up fashionably late to a debate so people should just put a red mark on you and put your absentee vote in.

This question is for everyone running as I truly haven't made my decision on who to vote for.

I've noticed that there's somewhat of a disconnect from the discord community and those that are not apart. With a large part of the USA BB community not on discord and many new users not even knowing about U21/NT how do you think you'll be able to help make a better appeal for the U21 group for those users that may have very limited knowledge of U21? Though, many of us find the forums here to be very outdated do you feel like keeping the activity throughout the forums for those users would be beneficial to draw interest and thus generating more assets (users to train, scout, ect) down the road.

The single biggest aspect of keeping new users around, and building interest in the NT is for new users to have a trainee. It does not even have to be a U21 level trainee. For any trainee leads to instruction, and instruction leads to a desire to make a better trainee that may be NT worthy. If they are American then I will turn them to the offsite, to create a diary like I have done for years. This disconnect that you speak of is a subculture among the overarching offsite community that every new user should be a part of. A user can make his own choice once given the necessary direction into a larger world of training.

And I've done it before. I'll do it again. I'll edit the U21 info page to include a message to all that any user that wants direction to message me. I will not turn away any help that comes to me.

"The truth of the matter is that, this is a game. Everyone plays their own way and the vast majority of people who do play don't care about our "mini-game" of U21/NT or all that. A lot of them don't think it's worth the time or the effort. Some people use our team against us and profit off of our "status" by selling once they are on the team. These are the realities of our situation. What we can do is limited and largely, most people in this game still won't care about the national teams no matter what we do. At the end of the day you play the hand you're dealt. "

This is why I been playing 9 seasons off and on and still haven't ran for it. Meanwhile I did try to run when I was a complete noob. But I am making moves for the future. You just admitted the fact that many people don't like the Under 21 catche and therefore stated why we need a level head to run the Under 21 position.

Lmfao if you know anything about politics and debates Clinton even shows up late to autograph's signing. Nobody gives themself credit if they got a level head. That's not what sane people do.
