Twas still a good season - our NT is back on track thanks to Lolo & Morwood

Come on Lolo.. nobody is blaming you :)

Maybe Lolo Smithz is correct in saying the newer generation of managers should start taking up the cudgels of the NT/U21 team. Looking at the PPL and the cup winner most are newer managers rather than the entrenched old veterans that have tons of cash. Will someone from the current and ex cup and PPL winners rise to the challenge?

BTW Lolo Smithz is my mentor so Im not trying to put him down.

After the luxury tax rule, PPL teams are not making as much money as those in division 2 and 3. Some of us go into the negative to be truly competitive. It is easy to make 300 k per week in the PPL so long as you are ok with being in division 2 for the next season. Not every season is a profit for us it depends kung ano yung goals mo. I think Morwood is ok with U21. Would like to see him run again for another term. Anyone can run for NT coach - last time i checked Lolo has one more season to go, it is up to him to make the most out of it. All we can do is continue supporting him.

I think what Black Widow was trying to say is teams like yours Ash which have been in PPL for a very short period are winning against the old veteran teams who have been in PPL for a long time already. I remembered Coach Ivan won the cup in his first season in PPL. With fewer resources than older teams who have tons of cash stashed away the newer generation of winning teams are doing quite well in PPL. Which already says something about your managing skills and knowledge of the game.

I was talking to Morwood the other day and we agreed it just takes someone dedicated enough to run the NT/U21 to make it successful in the long run. Someone who knows how to teach others to train players. We were talking about how the Indonesion NT/U21 which are being run by Italians are now doing pretty well and are powerhouses in Asia nowadays. And the one handling it used to be a league 4/5 manager only.

We should not under estimate the lower league manager.
One thing that advantage on them is tge dedication and active because they are passionate.

I think the plan is simple and should be simple for the NT. We build new kinds of players and keep ownership as local as we can. We encourage more Pinoy managers to train. I remember the Red Diablos manager who ran against Cez having this concept and platform. Obviously he lost because Cez had more support. We want results too fast but we are not willing to take the steps to get there. This game is built on planning.

Parang Chess yan, you have to be 8-10 moves ahead of your opponent. I think we should also get the input of old timers like Celestial and Arcanix para kung ano pa ang kailangan natin gawin. On the development side, si Obi has been very helpful and vocal about what we need to do. I consider myself an old timer (vet), I am going on my fifth season sa PPL. I have been here since season 16.

Sana may listahan tayo ng mga future NT players para makita natin ano pa ang kulang. Maybe someone can create a new thread for players 22+. Doon tayo kailangan tumutok. It doesn't matter to me who is up next in the NT election all i want is continuity. The program needs to continue.

The performance of u21 is already telling me that it is working. There is an impact and awareness. We need to be patient.

Somebody was talking about me?! 😜 :)
