1. We have a variety of very knowledgeable scouts and folks involved with the U21 that are spending each season training for the team. U21 manager gives the blueprint for how he wants the team, specifically with the 21s or even 20s on the team. But for 18s and 19s that’s the pipeline and why we have a talented staff and scouts and a head scout. The biggest thing we can do is educate managers on the benefits of training and what are the best practices and plans for it that we’ve learned. This not only makes our team better, but creates a stronger domestic base as a whole.

2. The expectations are simply part of the job for USA managers. We need to first make sure we make the finals in Americas to avoid the Repe and set ourselves up a little easier for Worlds. Then the task is simply navigating the field and managing GS(hopefully folks have a Sports Psycologist). Easier said than done, but our pipeline is still working at a high rate and I have no doubt the next manager will have all the tools in place to make a run at Gold.

3. Nobody is ever going to be against secondaries, but at the end of the day you only have so much time to train for the U21. If the difference on a big is 1 less ID but 5 more OD, then the secondary defense plays in his favor, but like I said if there’s no option but having a donkey then that’s what it is. Secondaries can absolutely come into play when deciding between a couple players though.

Good luck in Canada!

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

A question:
I was trying to see any and all information to decide why I should vote for you or consider you. SO, I went into your most recent seasons' team draft history. As, Scouting in mostly bot filled leagues, finding talented young players, and drafting them, either to develop or sell, is not too different than u21 scouting.

(46297790)
(46297804) understandably cut
(46297792) understandably cut
(43936945)
(43936938) 2 days after you drafted him, he was purchased from free agency.
(43936975)
(44737247) Kept. but not trained. In player history, you can actually see his salary has gone down since you drafted him.
(44737248)
(44737242)
(45517643) At the very least could have sold
(45517667) At the very least, MVP potential, WOULD have sold.
(45517681) Understandably cut

You seem to always cut your draftees. Some which have promise. I can only look at this, and see, since some could have been sold for money easily, as clear sabotage. Why are you wasting everyone's time running for u21, when you are SEEMINGLY sabotaging young usa prospects intentionally?
(296455.2) From your speech " I have always been focus on player development"
This seems contrary to your drafting and training history.

Because I am COMPETING, look at your notes it is not time to train American players but only for American Under 21 team. It has been that way for many seasons. I am not looking for profit right now. I am about to have to make a new team and if I don't get out this season I am rotating draftees in division III and or division IV. Which is why your ahead of me at this current moment because I have been dedicated to helping the under 21 staff and fixing the pipeline and we are almost their.

I have a list of non current scouts that needs to be on the team and I want to fix the roster. If I can get the scouts and then the discord Guaranteed Gold in Americas. Probably high ranking in Worlds and yes we will indeed pass the Frenchies.

In a normal everyday COMPETING lineup you would've banked on Europeans players being profitable. You know why we have had this problem why don't you ask Lambini who hijacked all the Americans player pool because every1 was trying to fix the pipeline.

Its been since Season like... 36, since I saw you on anything with scouting....

Your team making the finals in back to back years and losing is something I can (recently even) relate to. I actually found the way to get over the hump for my team personally, was more to do with training, than buying rosters that had static player skill sets. before this winning of the finals, I had made the playoffs all 4 seasons in a row prior to it (so 5 playoffs in a row), with 1 finals appearance and loss too. all my purchases never did anything. Where as the training and development helped push me past the others.

^ I will take this, and translate it to a u21 question for you. Would you ber using all of the roster right away to clal up all the *best* players, or would you save spots tactically, and monitor the trainings and such, because someone might out-train, or come along better than someone else, and be a better player later in the tournament?

fixing pipelines....
How are they broken? 3 seasons, is awfully quick for things to break. Its either "done" or "not done". Also, it looks bad when you use a xenophobic slur like "frenchies". If you are going to represent U21 as its coach. I'd advise against making seemingly racist comments.

I been here since 09 and you were one of the very few I ever connected too because why?

With my team I plan on filling spots full of draftees and training them up SLOWLY. I haven't transfer out any players because I am waiting on the pipeline to fix itself so we can become very profitable and possible become a world power house again for the next 10 seasons if every1 who has been fixing the pipeline stays with the pipeline and that is the current plan.

Broken because people didn't want to work with the Under 21 staff and or went off the haywired with their training plans and have been so for all of their Managing career on here.

SO...
let me get this 100% clear...

to fix a pipeline that is broken, and missing talent....

you have been firing Superstar, and MVP potential players.... rather than selling them to people who MIGHT train them... to fix the pipeline... and the shortage of players....

What?

I have always trained the MVP pot trainees and selling the Superstar and starters. Where have I fired in any of my teams and MVP European player that is of age to train? Greensboro Generals have never been my team. That 27 year old is capped and didn't need to be trained.

Yes you are correct that I haven't been active but been active in training players and selling them for value and helping the Under 21 staff when I can. I believe I have been using time to my advantage since season 36 on this game. Also if you take down your notes it implies that real life happen and real life happens all the time for every1.
