If they are independent body, they are responsible. If their actions are controlled by somebody, the blame goes there. Your call !!!
South Korea have enough players to make up a squad even with absence of few players. They plan their rotation policy that way.
If their entire squad of 23 players play in Tottenham and they make a deal to not organise any Friendlies for Korean National Team as it disrupt their publicity, routine plus if Tottenham also control the South Korea Football association, finances, budget, TV rights- then you can make a comparison other wise it is apples and oranges !
Point which you are completely ignoring is it's all about money...that one player is worth 50m value and can be difference between winning title or crashing out in quarters. Lets visit Korean forums n see reaction of their fans if that happens ..both Korean n India fa put things in jeopardy one way another... Just that you want to put blame on ISL by finding minute details
Last time you assumed players won't be released for SAFF Cup due to ISL n then we got reality check even after doing one month camp
You're forgetting something. If India NT wins, it's due to IL produced the players and ISL poached them. On the contrary if India loses its solely due to ISL circus.
Westwood? Roca? Moyes? Five managers who could replace Stephen Constantine as India coach
If you had a magic lamp, and you could pick any coach in the world to be India's next, who would it be and why? Here are five potential candidates who could replace Stephen Constantine, with the possible pros and cons.
Ashley Westwood
Positives: With an I-League title, a runner-up finish and a Federation Cup in two years at Bengaluru FC - his debut season in India -- Westwood is a winner, understands the complexities of Indian football, brings knowledge from faraway lands, and can get the best out of his players. All of his qualities could be tailor-made for India, at a time when they want to compete with Asia's best.
Negatives: His coaching record post BFC is terrible (Penang FA and ATK). He's never managed a national team.
Derrick Pereira
Positives: With 18 years of coaching in Indian football, Pereira has added a bit of International flavour to his resume after working with Sergio Lobera last season. He has the respect, is known to develop young players (head of youth development at FC Goa last season) and understands Indian football. During the 2013-14 I-League season, he took an average Salgaocar team to challenge the heavyweights Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC up until the last four games.
Negatives: Never managed a national team and does not have enough international experience to make India reach the next level. He may build a team for the future, but it would be a leap of faith, rather than a statement of intent.
Albert Roca
Positives: Roca has a forward-looking, global approach. The ex-Barcelona assistant understands modern football (probably not good with his Instagrams) and after being an assistant with Saudi Arabia for two years and coach of El Salvador for a year, he understands the dynamics of International football. He also understands he can't bring his entire Spanish learning to India (much like Constantine's practical approach), and because of his understanding of Indian football, things could work out.
Negatives: Roca did help Saudi Arabia increase in rankings during his tenure, but they failed to get through the 2015 Asian Cup group phase. His inexperience at managing at the top level could be his downfall.
Sanjoy Sen
Positives: Known to be a hard taskmaster and a good man manager, Sen brought the I-League title to Mohun Bagan for the first time in 11 years; under tremendous pressure. He brings to the table the understanding of working with egos and given a good hard-working team, Sen - who has also coached the India U-16 - can get the best out of the Indian players. Currently the assistant coach at ATK, Sen could be an unpopular but worthy candidate.
Negatives: Often described as a manager with no plan B, he is not the best at working with a gun pointed at his head. He's not coached a national team and some may consider him 'too young' for the job. Like Pereira, he is a risk.
Wildcard/fantasy pick: David Moyes
Positives: He is available, he is smart, he can work with technically less gifted players, and has massive Premier League experience. Like it or not, his capture will make a massive statement, loud enough to make you believe India are not planning to be pushovers anymore.
Negatives: Has no connection to Indian football and may not understand the complexities. Since he also lacks international experience, his appointment could turn out to be just a big statement and nothing else.
I think, whatever lil success that we have had(may not be in terms of results) in terms of laying the right process should be attributed to Rob Baan. Wim Koevermans assisted him and it was a good combination; but with our football structure being so poor, u cant expect result in even 2 decades and hence even the best of visionaries may lose patience/momentum.
Had it been any other coach, and not Steven - probably the the result would have a bit better, than what it is presently . Someone who did precious little in his first stint is already a tested one in Indian football and hence expecting him to bring about a positive change was also probably not in the mind of AIFF.
So basically we again need to start from scratch with a TD at the helm, who can come with atleast 10 yrs.,action plan, which can be implemented on ground by a foreign coach of significant experience/mediocre success in Asian countries and also have a panel of atleast 5 Indian coaches who can be contracted for a period of 3-5 years for on ground implementation of the same starting U16, U20, U23 level. We have few good talents like Derrick, Khalid,Thangboi Singto,Gift Raikhan, who are honest in their effort and are eager to do well.
