I've been pushing for this for a while. It makes particular sense for national teams - they would represent the country in some real sense.

god i hate the wisdom of crowds. crowds are a bunch of cunts, quite frankly. and national teams do represent the country in a real sense, the sense being that they are the best footballers from that country.

I would support popularly elected terms for England managers, however.
