A year ago, I wrote something and I will write it once again.
The work of a NT manager is by far the hardest. Not only do you have to built a strong team and convince team managers to train their players but mostly you have to answer to the other managers whose players did not make it in the NT with rational answers so that they can understand the reasoning behind your actions. Getting results is by far the best answer but is not the only one.
Steve made a clever move, in my opinion, when he posted a table board saying what are the expected skills, based on the age of a player, in order to be a candidate for a possible entrance in the NT squad.
Surely the work of the new manager will be hard at first and perhaps by the time he starts getting positive results the end of the season will come and he might get replaced. The right attitude by all the Cyprus managers is to give the new NT manager a chance of more than one season to set in and get the hang of its new position. This is my opinion. Surely some people will disagree with my way of thinking, and surely they will disagree with the NT managers way of thinking.
The key point is to help the NT manager and not sabotaz its work. No comparison to Steve should be made regarding his tactics since each one sees the game in a different way, but we should advise the new NT if we can.
That is why I said before that the NT manager should have one face but many hands. The more the hands that help him (hands=other managers) the earlier the NT will come back to positive results and the better the future.
I believe I said my part. These are my opinions.
