coco: there's a difference between a troll and someone who calls it how it is. what would you call our collective performance over the history of the game? is the sample size big enough for you now at this point to admit we aren't just unlucky?
I'll answer this for him... NO. Coco's biggest thing was that we "should" have won most of the games we lost. Perhaps thats true. Perhaps its not. I believe the latter.
I remember you from when i first started this game for some reason... and god bless you. I've been saying the same thing. Thats why i have no interest in running for manager this term (and probly any in the future). We keep rolling out the same builds on players and expecting different results.
I wasn't gonna get involved in this thread because I got extremely angry last election and the national team side of this game is lame enough without getting me physically angry....
I will say this, and I've said it before... we will never win a gold at worlds, let alone contend, until we get a manager that isn't just a tactics guy. We need a manager that will spearhead the development of players so we don't end up with 3-5 identical players at every position, like our current cluster f*** at PG. Tactics are the easy part. The community can, and does, a fine job picking the lineups and tactics. Its the development of players and following that and getting people that are already excited to train players for the national team to train different types of players. That way we can not only have a multitude of options to choose from lineup wise, but we can also have the use of different tactics to pull if needed.
Good luck to all the candidates...
