Bhutia is a sharp thug, he can change his colour in minutes to earn money along with publicity. As a player I always have respect for him but his post retirement activities are shameful to say the least. Very conveniently he has forgotten his root & that confirms how much mean minded & crooked he is.
What is his recent history in Politics ? Contested Lok sabha elections from Trinamool Congress is what I know. His act of boycotting Olympic Torch ceremony citing Tibet was unsporting.
Right now he is busy looking for some roti-roji and trying to lay his hands on every pie he sees. He will resurface in the political arena just before election.
Funny to read that "PFL is not recognised by FIFA and anyone associated with it would automatically face an immediate ban by the AIFF". So AIFF will ban anyone who is associated with something not recognised by FIFA !!!!. Hmmm
FIFA appoints Rufus developmental manager for South Asia
FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) match commissioner Prince Rufus has been appointed the global body's developmental manager for South Asia, sources confirmed on Friday.
Kolkata-based Rufus, who has worked with city soccer giants Mohun Bagan before and was also with I-League champions Aizawl FC, will take over as FIFA's as representative in India and other South Asian countries from Shaji Prabhakaran, who vacated office earlier this year.
"He will be tasked with conducting FIFA's developmental programmes here and countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal and Bhutan," a source told IANS on condition of anonymity.
After taking over, Rufus will have to leave his match commissioner's post.
Prabhakaran, who is now with I-League second division club Delhi United, was the FIFA regional development officer for South and Central Asia for almost half a decade.
A development manager's job is to liaise with FIFA on the developmental activities in the region from time to time.
