This is Samuraj's second attempt to manage us..... and I think out of all the foreign candidates we've had express an interest, he is the most credible.

I gotta say, just voting in a Japanese based manager now to block foreigners seems a bit weird... maybe a fresh approach wouldn't do any harm....

We can always vote in a local again at anytime...

Most of us *are* foreigners anyway...
Perhaps we need someone new to open up lines of communication. At the moment, there is very little actual development of our nation occurring. We certainly need something to kickstart our nation a bit.

This election, I will be giving my vote to whichever candidate seems like they are going to be the best one going forward, regardless of nationality.

Hello hello, nice agression to start with, thanks ^^

I, the hell, am a French manager, as you noticed, and not really unknow as I already tried to be elected for the U21 team ^^.
Fact is I posted a speech but had no questions and felt like I've been blocked in favor of local managers... As I have a lot of work at the moment and other personnal issues, I didn't took time to post a speech this time.

It can seem a bit reckless but my idea is to wait for the second round to make any speech, in order to see if my foreigner status ca harm me of if I have a chance to be elected.

Nevertheless, I'm ready to answer any questions, as you can see ;)

Hope the tone is gonna be smoother next time ;)

Well, for me: you're unknown. And I consider it a bit cheeky to post yourself as a candidate, and not even give a speech. Perhaps you should start there?

You will find a few elements here.

As I already told you, I felt some kind of national pride and felt like I would not be elected no matter what... If I see I stand a chance to be elected this time, I'll do a real speech ;)

Whilst I would prefer to keep the coaching in Japan, Samuraj's resume is pretty impressive.

This is Samuraj's second attempt to manage us..... and I think out of all the foreign candidates we've had express an interest, he is the most credible.

Perhaps if you'd read the comments immediately preceding your take on the supposed "aggression". As I said before, to put your hand up for something without even an introduction or offering reasons as to why you'd be a candidate perhaps isn't the best way to move forward.

Let's forget about the "agression", I just did not like the tone.

I read, and I hope these statements are true and hope it reflect every Japanese manager's opinion, I'll see that in a few days.

As I said, I know it's not the best way to do things, but I feel like doing it like that. If a new approach is needed, maybe a few managers will vote for me in order to see what I can offer. I promise I will post something for the second round !

He is a fluent Japanese speaker who reads and writes the language (not that we need it at this point with all x-pat users) and has been in and out of our NT system for I think 6 seasons now (U-21 stint). He knows our players, our needs, our community.

By this, are you referring specifically to JBBL?
