I do not understand a simple thing why our federation is obliging to every demand Houghton is making? Winning 3rd tier tournaments like Nehru Cup and playing against 4th grade countries can never do any good for us. He is just interested in making lots and lots of money. I am afraid even to think what is in store for us in the Asia Cup Senior team does not need such a high profile coach.
They have passed the age to learn something new. AIFF should appoint an experienced coach with proven track record for the junior team, a coach who has the expertise in grooming young talents, someone who has performed similar duties as a development coach in South American or European countries. Not all the time you can discover a well written article that sticks to your thoughts for some time.
Completely agree with this statement. The worthless politicians, incompetent AIFF administrators have to make way for the sake of Indian football. Otherwise I dont see a chance for our team to make it big in international tourny. Sukhi is the best coach available in the country at this moment. The plain matter of fact is that the inexperienced Indian players were not good enough to match the Asian heavyweights.
Media needed a sacrificial lamb, and sadly this time it is Sukhi. I agree that the player selection was faulty. If Sukhi had the services of 3 over aged players and the 8 under players from senior team, the result might have been different. The quality of the video is very poor. The fourth goal is not there. If possible please arrange for a better resolution video. This is the first time I am visiting your site and this is the 1st article that I hav read here. Impressive design and content to say the least.
We need such a football forum in India. I agree with Satindar here. Please do not put the blame on Sukhwinder alone. He is a good coach and AIFF should continue with him. If someone needs the boot then it should be Bob Houghton. I like the article. I completely agree. Login to post your comment. Show More Comments.
