One helluva lot of opinion and conjecture in there Wolph.
Thus far, Taiyo's case is laid out - and the results are there. You've got some good points (your ability to communicate in 3 primary languages found in Japan for example), but I think some of the points you raise Taiyo is just as good - if not better (communication, identifying talent, selecting line-ups).
Additionally, I think some of your beliefs are somewhat questionable. You point to "finding better players" - they're simply not their at this point in time. The amount of active users here in Japan is around 32, and for better or worse, that's what there is to work with. Sure, you might be able to help raise the number - but what you've been asking for (whilst being something that would help - advertising in Japanese) simply isn't likely to occur. Certainly, you being U21 coach or not isn't going to impact that in the slightest.

D) Respectful Relationships. Success is the result of everyone’s contributions. Both local and international managers as well as those who participate through discussion and suggestions. I work to maintain a positive and respectful relationship with everyone involved. You will never see me criticize or question the comments someone makes or how they manage their team or players. Ultimately we all have our own approach to the game. I think maintaining positive relationships are important to keeping people interested in working with me and supporting our teams.
How do you respond to that?
