As I pointed out several times before, Morgan half of the time doesn't make sense. Man, he has been here a couple years and he is hell bent on signing Ishfaq Ahmed, that guy shoots at the corner flag from inside the penalty box 80% of the time. Charan Rai doesn't even deserve a place in the I league team (both starting eleven and reserves). Had Morgan not persisted with Gow beginning of the I league, EB would have been almost neck and neck with Dempo. Had Morgan not started an injured Mehtab in the Fed cup final, no way Salgaocar could have won that game. The second derby of the season, he had no answer to Subrata's tactics and was a mere spectator on the sidelines.<br><br>If he has done some good to EB's cause, he has considerable harm as well, in my honest opinion. I just cannot adore him because he is white skin.<br>
Yes Proj, what you said are all correct but we cannot ignore the fact that he gave the club 6 trophies in 2 years after 27 months of drought. Inspite of all these faults he is one of the very few professional coaches we have in Indian clubs. He mixes with the players like friends and manages them very well. All the players really like him and seldom has anything bad to say about him. He is always always on time to start practice or with anything else. I think with time he will learn more match reading and tactical skills. He has brought few things in the Kolkata and Indian football which we were seriously lacking, that is professionalism. Also the kind of football EB played for most of the season, I have very rarely seen them playing that kind of passing football (specially at the second half of the season). Otherwise it was mostly long ball games. We cannot take that away from him. Hopefully he will learn from his mistakes and be a better coach in coming years.

<P>How could you even imagine MMB to pay transfer fee to acquire a player! That would not happen at-least in next 20 years or so :-P</P>
<P>By the way Salgaocar have promoted young goalie Presley Mascarenhas to their Senior squad. I have updated the details on my blog site along with a few more rumors/updates I came to know about.</P>

<P>Exactly. That's why I was very happy to learn about Lester's transfer to Prayag. That should be the practice and AIFF should step in with some regulation regarding this. Squad continuity management is a must have to sustain a professional football model in India and the possibility of retaining players for more than a year will double up once the transfer fee concept is introduced. <BR></P>
