Please don't flame me for this post, as i'm doing a search for my question and didn't find a good answer.
REgarding World player of the year awards, I'm Managing ManCity, and one of my players (Van de Vaart) was shortlisted to win World player of the year. Now, I also manage Nigeria, and was able to see all the players on the list. I voted for 3 players, none of who were on the shortlist, and lo and behold, 3 odd, random players won the award, NONE of who were shortlisted. Whats up with that??? I woulda love Vaart to win to give him a worldwide rep, and boost my shirt/ticket sales, but no joy. Any comments?
