No your baseball analogy is more applicable to the players not the manager. Again from a pure tactical standpoint, it is one human manager versus another. You can out coach an opponent even if your roster is not at the same level as the other. That's what I bring to the table and what's been lacking in the past couple of seasons. We need a manager who can outsmart the opposing manager regardless of the team's condition.

I never said the NT is a one man show. Obviously there are a lot of people helping out. But again (I don't know how many times I've mentioned this), I am talking about tactics. Yeah people lend advice on how to play each game, but the tactics rely heavily on the NT manager.

Is this the debate thread or the "vote for this guy because I said so and I'm voting for him too"?

Don't all elections ultimately come down to endorsements?

I'd disagree again on the last statement. Tough on the u21 side is a good example. tons of energy, tons of interest in getting people developing talent for the u21 and some that should go to the NT get passed directly there. His tactical knowledge comes from other managers.

My baseball analogy is whatever you want it to be i guess. I think it is true to form here. You're free to visit me on the offsite, on even on the mibbit chat on the offsite, happy to debate tactics with you there for days.

I think in the future the debate thread should actually be structured as a debate. Only a couple of people should serve as the moderators asking the questions and the candidates respond and have the opportunity to address each other. It would help keep it organized and on topic.

My memory may be bad but it seems more prevalent these past seasons.

If you an Isaiah can agree to a time, I've actually moderated debates before so I could set up something probably run via Google Docs. I say you and Isaiah because it looks to be the two of you as the leading candidates, and with this being America we have this tradition of giving the people only 2 true candidates.

Edited to add that tomorrow or Saturday would work best for me to set something up so I can get it posted by Sunday for all to see before the election finalizes.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

RamQ,

I'm so down to play checkers against you. Since you were once such a prominent manager, I look forward to your insights into this debate. What if my back right checker has 10 DRV but my opponent (say you) has 11 ID. Would you recommend buying Illinois Avenue in this situation?

The first "live" debate will take place over the course of today to be released tomorrow or Sunday. If there are specific RELEVANT questions for Isaiah or Dwight Coward BB-Mail myself or Chekreyes.
