Is it possible for your answers to be more specific and less vague. You say Europeans focus on all star skill sets, and that we can't compete until we focus more on creating the same type of player.
Elaborate on these "all star skill sets" please

Look at the last top 15 players of Spain. They are all very well rounded stats and ratings. I am not so sure if I can work on the vague part.

To respect our match all French Managers should remove name from contention.

@ Antwon

I'm curious to the reasoning/logic specifically behind all managers opinions are equal.

All managers opinions are equal because I simply do not know everyone in this community. There are many smart managers. If a manager hops on discord for the first time one day and the next day is bringing good, quality suggestions to the discussion, I am not going to ignore them just because they are new. I like to hear everyone's thoughts, not just the staff.

With all due respect A-Dub, Khenry has been absent from the Discord as well as any U21 related discussions for a long time.

If he had been PMing you this entire time without direct conversation with any U21 staff, then I will stand corrected.

Khenry only chose to return to the Discord once the elections started and presumably his time freed up. I will also highlight that you also endorsed Sahand in the last NT election despite my serious concerns and criticism. Khenry has done a fine job as Nippon's U21 manager, however to say that he has been "very active" and "more engaged" is incorrect.

As the saying goes: hindsight is 20/20. I stand by my belief and willingness to try something new by electing a manager I felt was the best candidate out of the given field. I felt very strongly about Sahand's ability as a technician, including his knowledge of utilizing high TSP players and winning at the highest club level (B3 title) with such players (NT players). His B3 experience is something I valued greatly and something that cannot be taught unless you have gone through the rigors of B3 competition yourself.

Khenry will be a great USA U21 NT manager in all aspects: scouting, database management, tactical management. This is the same man who helped host and operate the FML Live radio show; that includes the arrangement of guests in different timezones and waking up early before work somtimes -- the man is dedicated and extremely knowledgeable. I've brainstormed ideas with him and he struck me as a driven and creative individual: looking outside the box and never conforming to conventional U21 methods. The U21 ideology needs to be transformed and driven away from conventional thinking which has been the status quo. The senior USA NT has achieved great success by challenging the status quo and the same can be said for my own club success. Khenry has the intangibles needed to lead the U21 NT in the right direction. You can't teach intangibles. You can't touch them. They're untouchable. As the french would say, he's got a certain . . . "je ne sais quoi."
