Yeah I understand what u mean. I have 4 points to say:
1) I am not opposed to the 9 managers who vote for STN. Right at the start of the campaign, I have said that it's natural for some managers to choose a local manager rather than me because he is local or because they know him better. I totally undersatnd. This is an inborn disadvantage. I know. I just think if both of STN and me are new to all managers, then they should choose me. Haven't I proven myself enough in all these debates? And what did STN say? You said you don't know me. Well I was not the scout of any of your players and we cannot approach any managers during the campaign and I strictly follow this rule. Most of those teams that I worked with are bot now so I don't get some votes from them. I am really sad about this. On the other hand, I don't know STN. Haven't heard of him all those seasons I worked under Ben. From what I have heard from some local managers, he is not a good guy, at least not a suitable person to lead U21. So I have no affection for him.
2) It seems that you think that just let STN does what he does and if he is not doing well, you'll voice your opinion by not voting for him in next election. But STN probably wont candidate for next election and I don't want to "watch" him destroy SGP and then walk away patting his pat. Don't you think we should be more active to avoid these bad things from happening? If you are so friendly with STN would you be his scout? I am unhappy coz apart from Audi* and I, most managers are like sitting back eating popcorns while watching a movie. It shouldn't be like this.
3) I have never demanded SGP managers to buy and train 18 or 19 yo players regardless of their own situations. I always say NT benefits should not be over team benefits. And I didn't accuse STN of not asking local managers to buy 18 or 19 players. The unforgivable thing is he didn't save some 18/19 prospects, which he could have easily done and he never contacted those managers owning bright young prospects to give them some training guidance. These are the basic duties of a U21 coach and he has done nothing. What I try to say is a U21 coach has to keep the young prospects safe and ensure that they are well-trained. The essential thing is a young kid develops well, though I'd be happier if he's owned by a local team, coz it benefits own country.
4) I know saying congratulations is a kind of encouragement and manner. I'm not saying this is wrong. I just want to say I am worried and disappointed that no one really does or says anything concrete to improve the curent situation apart from this little courtesy. if you or others are OK with whatever has happened and whatever will happen, it's your thoughts and I respect. But forgive me for being more fanatic.
