Of course, you are right, people will and do say anything and everything. I hope that people who vote can see that. All I or indeed anyone can do is stand on their past record. I can only show you my past accomplishments, I invite everyone to see my team history since I joined BB in season 13. As for my attributes of being organized and very competitive and goal driven that, I hope, is evident by what I have done so far. That is all I can offer what I have so far accomplished. As to what I will do as UAE manager, I can only state my intentions. One of which does NOT include making UAE a world top 10 team - that will take many many seasons, but certainly moving up 10 to 15 spots is, I hope, possible within a 2 season mandate. I make NO promises but I also will tell NO lies. So far, I am making all the statements where is Mr Children to state his case?

Part of the problem for UAE is that there are no national team players being developed in the top league. All the players on the national team are being developed elsewhere. That in itself is not disturbing, what needs to be addressed is the lack of talent that is actually being developed by the top UAE league teams. A quick look at those rosters has revealed that not one player is ready to make the jump to the national team. The national team roster also is in a state of regression, Thailand, ranked # 96 or so is actually on par with the UAE team if not better. Season 19, UAE will head pressed simply to keep it's cuurent ranking. If one cares for progress, a long term view is necessary where young players are kept and developed instead of being immediately sold for a quick buck. I am willing to work to address this situation in partnership with UAE teams so that a turn around program can be put in place. All I need is your votes!!

By the way - I am just curious about how the UAE managers feel about their national team - I have created a small poll in the UAE I.1 forum where you can leave your feedback.
Thanks
