Thanks for the question Nick22.

I'm glad my communication was clear to everyone and best of all, I didn't offend anyone through my 2 terms. A couple of things I think I have done pretty successfully was:

- The extensive scouting, I usually go beyond the normal cut-off salary and scout more players than needed in order to find some diamonds in the rough, though rarely called upon, it is good to know that we have the depth if needed, even for decoy purposes.

- I'm not afraid to use guys with specialties, as most are aware, shot-blocking bigs, we have seen how effective Torroni is, so I will always be an advocate of utilizing guys like that even at the expense of some offense.

Things that I think I can improve on:

- Be bold and trust myself more, when it comes to making the final decision in big games. I was thinking I shouldn't have wasted the time these managers have put in to get us to the final stage. However, I can be a little more selfish sometimes, it is my legacy as a U21 after all, I live or die with the decisions I make, whether if the result is positive or negative, as long as that decision is reasonable. Looking back at the game against Italy 3 seasons ago, the decision of going Inside Isolation actually was not a bad decision, not going POCT actually cost us the game.

With the ups and downs from the last 4 seasons, I think I'm well equipped to make one final attempt at Gold, should I get elected again.

I would like to thank all of you for the week of questions, here and in he discord. I know I'm not the favorite, and I don't have major complaints with GForce, but is he really desrving of being the first manager to manage for a 3rd term? What has he done to earn that? America wins, and getting beat by Italy twice? What makes you think he will will succeed with a 3rd chance?
I think you all should roll the dice on me. I've spent too many seasons working closely with the U21 that I can't fail. I've learned from some of the best managers over the last 45+ seasons to flunk. I would do well, and I believe I would win the Gold.

Thank you all, and I hope I have your vote!
