The Dunce of FAS

Appalled and "Con-fuzzled" with FAS decision on the appointment of Raddy on today's New paper. I wonder if FAS has got the same foreign workers and immigration policy as the government since they are interlink with the sports council. I sympathize with Fandi Ahmad and Terry Pathmanathan as it does reflect the bureaucratic and the incompetence of the organization. In this instance meritocracy is such an overrate commodity that i find the argument to have a foreign coach compelling dumbfounded.
An admirer of Fandi for all he is skilled at and known for, he had proven his credentials exceeding expectations on the field and work hard for his coaching badges. I am not against foreign coaches with big time credentials but foreign coaches with a name like Radojko Avramovic, a name as long as to a certain Jose Murinho are difficult to accept for just winning Suzuki Cups. You bring in a highly paid substitute from overseas to alleviate the quality of local soccer, not to win Mickey Mouse cups and confuse and alienate the soccer fans with delusional "talk cock" session. Who is Radojko? who in the world of football recognize the credentials of Raddy? Before his appointment as the national coach, i have never heard nor seen him as a player nor heard of him as a famous coach in asia. Perhaps he like many foreigners just paint a superbly numerically CV showing the number of mickey mouse cup he won in SE.asia.
Let's just say even if i am proven wrong, the fact remains the same. The country don't need an expat to win Suzuki Cups and SEA game trophies, PN Savaji can do that. I wonder what kind of KPI they set in FAS, perhaps they have too many bureaucratic layers and countless of redundant meetings to attend. That's why they took so long to make a good offer to Fandi and Path. Instead they are swift to offer $35,000 to Raddy and that's for winning Tom & Jerry's cup. Could you blame them? well i can only say there is no fire without smoke. The fear of risking their reputation if the job was given to a local just show the narrow-mindedness of the organization. If accountability was as efficient, i think FAS have failed miserably over the years with the S-league and overweight foreign players. Last but not least, let me solve your problem, get PN Savaji for $10,000 and he can win you loads of Mickey Mouse Cups, at least it solve the patriotic side of things.
