I was really hoping that whoever was interested in running for the NT this season would make an effort on the offsite forum but there has been no extra activity there at all which is disappointing as whoever becomes NT manager will obviously need a strong presence there.

If nobody else really makes a proper case for it, i might run again but if i did the focus would definitely be on actively finding and training the next manager instead of waiting for one to come forward like this season. Would be interested in seeing the new defensive focus at work too but we'll see what happens over the next couple of days.

Yeah any of those 3 would be good, and yeah offaite forum for nt team has been very quite but I think that's due to all of us being caught up in our run of Asian champs with u21 side

Sorry but i think a recent focus on the U21 side is a pretty weak excuse for not being involved in the NT over the past 2 seasons if you were interested in the NT job. iwen has been leading the U21 squad and still manages to make some input in to the NT forums.

I mean, if you don't have the time or can't be bothered to simply provide some input/discussion on the forums at the moment, how are you going to find the time or motivation to run the whole team?

I'm not singling you out personally Brooksy, focusing more on that statement and throwing it out there to everyone.

Oh i agree with you on it not being an excuse for being an excuse for not having an input I didn't mean for it to come out sounding like an excuse.

To Whitebeard:

Thanks for the election speech, only one up so far! I like your ideas and only really have a couple of questions at the moment:

- why has there been no apparent interest/presence in the NT up until this point? Including offsite forum

- What do you mean by "willing to cut our losses for the benefit of the future"? I can see how that could work with a standard league team where an economy is involved but besides getting younger players a little extra experience, i don't really understand that point in your speech. Could you elaborate a little?
