Replacing praful patel with a footballer wont do any good.... so far from the example of bhutia, out footballers arent good to manage federation either..
at least with help of a politician at top we can get the work related to sports being moved in govt if need comes..
i think this is best time to give an Indian manager a chance with say 2-3 international friendly in 6 months time and prove himself to be fit to assemble a team for continental and world cup qualifiers....
U are absolutly right @shankar..footballer can be gud in project related to grassroot they know wat they lacked and any ambiguity in grassroot can be easily monitored...
Read my comment properly.... I said someone who knows bout football... Not essentially a player.... You guys still want politicians to lead.... Grow up from scams & chit funds..... Think ahead
@Frankenstein FIFA is full of Politicians, Media personalities, Businessman, Arab Sheikhs, Royalty.They have the influence to get the work done. If you remove them, whole FIFA will be empty. It is people like Kushal Das who run AIFF on daily basis-they should be removed, not Patel. Again it is not that Government appoints a person as head of FIFA. Government cannot interfere in Sports associations and International Body oversees Elections and appointments according to their rules.
Have to feel for Wim, He tried what he had to do, Change the style of play.
Unfortunately if you have the talent pool that we have then what good is possession play?
Houghton brought results bcos it emphasised on hoofball. You wont dominate matches with that style of play and you always will have a chance.
Once you enter to the field to play the ball on the floor it needs ability and the right players to pull it off, Sadly india didnt and still dont have players able to play such a game yet.
