AIFF India must be derecogized and banned, similar to IHF

Indian football federation my foot, these rascals have never cared for improving the footbal infrastructure all these years and now after sending the team to few overseas locations for training, expect them to win matches against giants like Australia, South Korea and Japan. If allowed, they will expect India to win the Football World cup. This coach commands respect world wide and he has been instrumental in coaching China, Korea successfully. The guys who have taken this decision are absolute fools, who may have gobbled up all the money allocated for infrastructure. Hope there is whistle blower on this aspect. Are these idiots expecting John Abraham or Sharukh Khan to coach India team

I think the Federation made a wrong decision by sacking the coach Bob Houghton. He should have been another opportunity, instead. The performance of the team under his coaching was not bad. They won 3 international tournaments and played better football in the match against Bahrain too in Asian Cup. So he definitely deserved a better exit than this.
Now, AIFF should focus more on the junior level and youth level than spending most of the money in developing the senior team. Also they should commercialize the game by attracting more sponsors. Then only Football will grow in this cricket-crazy country.
