<hr />
<div>During the Season 29 U20 elections in [[USA]], [[Chubbj]], one of the canidates, alleged that a secret society of managers runs the elections, allowing only its "entitled" members to hold positions of power. These members of this '''Secret Cabal''' were supposedly dragging down the national teams' results with their uninspired strategy and lack of creativity.<br />
<br />
==Other Aliases==<br />
Administration<br><br />
Establishment<br><br />
Clique<br><br />
<br />
== The Allegations ==<br />
The first reference to there being a think tank of users running the USA U20 team was made by Chubbj in response to CoachJKB's defense of the previous U20 coaches.<br />
<br />
<br />
''"Clearly some people (like you) have resistance to change. You like how things are. Maybe you have "in's" with the current "administration" i don't know. What we've been doing isn't working, that was never more apparant than in the last U20 WC."''<br />
<br />
<br />
While it seems a fairly harmless remark, the current administration quickly began its fall to the dark side as Chubbj's posting continued:<br />
<br />
''"Some users in the current "clique" have gone out of their way to try and disparrage my campaign."''<br />
<br />
<br />
The posts spiraled downward soon after, into a McCarthyism campaign:<br />
<br />
<br />
''"See what the cronies of the "current administration" have resorted to? Sending their goons into my thread to try and cause trouble."''<br />
<br />
==The Accused==<br />
The following individuals have been accused of being in the current administration:<br />
<br />
* benmor78<br />
* Azeroth<br />
* CoachJKB<br />
* DWetzel<br />
* Catalyst<br />
<br />
Also, Azeroth, a former USA U20 coach, had this to say of the current membership:<br />
<br />
<br />
''"The current administration includes but is not limited to myself, Woodrow Wilson, Aunt Jemima, those Budweiser Frogs, Jared from Subway, and Rich Hill, starting pitcher for AAA Iowa."''<br />
<br />
<br />
It is unknown if he was joking or not.<br />
<br />
== Known Accomplishments ==<br />
The following are events that the Secret Cabal of Managers is reported to have had a hand in evoking:<br />
<br />
*Praying for and/or causing a tie in a must win game against U20 Norway<br />
<br />
