Thanks for the answer and another question for both candidates:

tunjevina, how would you integrate Falke if you indeed win this election? Last time, Falke stepped down and supported Woodys campaign, but that‘s not the case. Knowing Falke, he probably would still have the NT at heart but I guess it would also be a hard blow to him to lose in this election. So, how would you get him (or keep him) on board? And if you lose: would you be willing to help us anyway?

Falke, ähnliche Frage wie oben: wie würdest du mit einer Niederlage umgehen? Ich weiß, wieviel Zeit und Herzblut du in die NT steckst und wir sind auf einem sehr guten Weg. Ich kann total verstehen, dass du weiterhin die NT führen möchtest, weil jetzt die ersten Spieler, die wir mit Charles und Timo zusammen vor 10 Saisons auf den Weg gebracht haben, fertig werden und der Kader dadurch auch vielseitiger wird...deshalb die Frage, wie du mit einer Niederlage umgehen würdest. Und könntest du dir prinzipiell eine Zusammenarbeit mit tunjevina vorstellen?

Und nochmal an alle, die hier mitlesen: motiviert mal eure Ligakollegen, auch abzustimmen!!

I wouldn't change current staff members if they still want to be part of the team, and that goes for Falke as well. I'm hoping he would help me since he knows a lot about the current and upcoming NT players, especially their training plan.

If he were planning to run again in the next elections, I would want to share with him any decisions about the roster and the tactics that I make. And I would listen to any ideas that he may has, of course. It could benefit both of us.

In case of poor results, which imo is Germany not qualifying for the next round of the European Tournament, I would be the only one to blame, not Falke or anyone else. In case of good results, like winning a medal, it wouldn't be my success, but the success of everyone involved with the NT, starting from managers who have trained these players and maintained their game shape.

In other words, I think NT manager is the last piece of the machine. If it's a wrong piece, and it doesn't allow other pieces to function at their best, then it should be corrected. But if it's a right piece, then the entire machine should be praised, not just that one piece. Only time can tell who atm is a better piece for the German machine.

I'd be surprised if I get elected, so as for your other question, I wouldn't mind helping if I lose as well. But, I'm not sure how much of a help I can be in that case.
