I'm voting for a coach, not a politician. First one to not act like a politician gets my vote.

Well a politician would never have a hamster eating a carrot as their avatar so I think I've already convinced you.

To all the candidates - this is easily researchable off-site and I just did, but would you like to state for the record the last season that you participated in the U21 scouting program?

Group hug!

I absolutely dispose politics and feel like we need a revolution. Does that help?

Very enlightening question Fewmit. Season 19 supposedly was my last time to be completely honest and there really isn't any excuses for that. However, I can say, I got very tired of the same builds over and over that made me feel like a robot when advising managers how to train.

As you know fewmit, I have been very involved with the U21 NT game planning for the entire last season and am working as a scout again this season whether I am elected or not.

A few of you have talked about tailoring training plans to the prospect instead of having everyone follow the same build. Eddy Francoeur is the first 18 year old American with Hall of Fame potential on the transfer list. (31634769) (Not my player and not an ad). He is 6'5" with skills of 7/7/6/6/3/2 1/3/3/7 1/2. What type of training plan would you recommend to whomever ends up buying this player? I'm not looking for a week by week breakdown of his training, but I would like to see how each of you would train, in general, the same player.

I'm not running...but...easy answer. Eddy Francoeur has about 2% chance of ever playing on the U21 team.The passing in particular is too bad for him to end up on the team and it would take too long to fix it.

My experiment would be pretend this guy is American. (31722708)

How would you recommend training him.

Now pretend that his potential is either Perennial Allstar or Superstar...does it change?

6'7 instead of 6'4?
