Would it be better if it's self elected by the U21 manager then?

What about letting the current NT/U21 Manager provide a short list of players then the players of the country votes if the said player should be in the HOF

isn't the whole idea of a HOF for national teams to be increase interest and curiosities from the community? if that's the case, I don't see any way other than handling the voting rights to all national managers. Make the news on the front page, and have everyone vote in, or else the change probably doesn't worth the effort to code it.

If we are worried about personal bias, just don't allow managers to vote for their own players or give every manager three votes instead of one, but we need to INCREASE participation, not restrict it

Actually if you're afraid of biasness, setting the minimum requirement to something like the top 5 in most stats all time and a season would be enough to prevent that.

It's my 9th season as U21 coach, and I've only had 1 U21 player make top 5 in those two categories, and that player isn't even my own. For the record, the current U21 player is the 7th player in my team to make the U21 (by merit of course) and none of them meet that criteria. So even if I wanted to nominate all my former players into the HoF, none of them would even be eligible.

Add that to a limitation of 1 nomination per term, you won't really have to be worried about biasness or the HOF being so bloated that it becomes worthless.

The only drawback would be that I, someone who came in a few seasons ago, would not be too familiar with most NT/U21 players to make the selection. In this case, the NT manager can just:
1. Do nothing and not nominate anyone.
2. Discuss on who to nominate with the local community.
3. Randomly select someone from the list for the sake of nominating someone. This might be meaningless to him and many others, but I reckon anyone in the top 5 (after so many seasons) would more or less deserve it.
