It is amazing. Patel and Das have been at their jobs for so long now. A lot of the people at the AIFF have been involved in football for years now and yet we still feel we need an "advisor" to help make decisions for us. It was not long ago that the AFC called for India to sign Phillipe Troussier and now we are stick with a guy who is calling to keep probably the worst coach we've had since Savio Mederia and who is okay with O'Donald as TD.
I do support Bhaichung's initiative to reform the state association's and professionalise state leagues and clubs. The potential for state leagues is huge if achieved properly.
How players like Anas, Vineeth, Rafi came into the National fold from kerala is a mystery despite having indias most incompetent state FA.
Anas trialed with Mumbai after being spotted by a former India international. Vineeth started his career with Viva Kerala when they were around and boomed onto the scene.
Bhutia may recall his friend Phillipe De Ridder back for some assignment. :P
Yesterday i was watching Sports Hour on DD Sports. The expert Journalist with Anchor discuss all Sports news. The journalist is a veteran Bengali guy. I think his name is Utpal Bhattacharya. It looked like Mr Utpal goes through IFN Forum. The words he used like "The Second Innings of Stephen Constantine", and comments on Ambani, Praful Patel were straight out of IFN Forum. He was very critical on ISL and neglect of I-League as well as NT. Only on Doordarshan they have freedom to criticise otherwise all private channels are sold out to Businessman.
