what your thoughts about him and his recently accepted job with india

[kushal]

oh i've got a lot of 'em

he says he's (finally) going to look at the youth teams as well...and obviously he says a lot more including the fact that if he is given time he can turn us into a decent team...

he SOUNDS great but does he know what he's taking up? does he know about all the crap and favouritism that goes on here? does he know about bribes, is he strong enough to resist them? i mean yeah of course he knows about bribes but u know how it is here. is he used to working within an at best semi-professional system?

i dunno i think we need an indian coach only along with an assistant from say england or one of the tactically advanced countries. but let's see what happens anyway...what's ur take on him?

[DanneS]

He was a hard and controversial manager of Malmö FF in Sweden 25 years ago but he made them win titles.
He changed the swedish football because of that. I hope he could do the same for India.

i hope so too but even if he doesn't i'm sure it wudn't be HIS fault...
