thats what i am wondering..he is VP of AFC and somehow has lot of influence..everytime nepali club in afc president cup they host their group, same with challenge cup qlfrs, actual challenge cup and now wanting to host the afc u22s...<br><br>i think if india dont make it..then they should bid to host and qualify that way..u have the the infrastructure and afc will allow it as a way to promote the game...would be ideal for the bid of fifa u17s..<br><br>aiff is quite smart with agents and seems like they always get good deal or atleast good agents making things happen for them..the camp they had i guess was for better facilities and better opposition to prepare but yes camping in north india would have been a good option but it was cold back then..<br>
</p><p> </p><p>They would give us the 2015 one then not the 2014.<br></p>
looks like another one of Mr Baan's suggestions...you can get some EPL academy coaches with better experience and CV...as shown by Bupin..Arrows under him did better than they are doing now.
some team like airindia or mumbai should sign these guys
no. If Mumbai FC stay up then they should go after them. Same with Lajong and Sporting. Real clubs who could use real players.
