Secret Cabal of Managers

An allegation made by USA U20 candidate Chubbj in the April 2006 campaign that a secret society of managers runs the elections allowing only its "entitled" members to hold positions of power. These members of the "establishment" are dragging down the national teams' results with uninspired strategy and rigidity.

The Allegations

The first reference to there being a think tank of users running the USA U20 team was by Chubbj in response to CoachJKB's defense of the previous U20 coaches.

"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."

While it seems a fairly harmless remark, the current administration quickly began its fall to the dark side as Chubbj's posting continued:

"Some users in the current "clique" have gone out of their way to try and disparrage my campaign."

The posts spiraled downward soon after, into a McCarthyism capaign:

"See what the cronies of the "current administration" have resorted to? Sending their goons into my thread to try and cause trouble."

The Accused

The following individuals have been accused of being in the current administration:

-benmor78
-Azeroth
-CoachJKB
-DWetzel

Also, Azeroth, a former USA U20 coach, had this to say of the current membership:

"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."

It is unknown if he was joking or not.
