houghton is right about the intefering state leagues, especially IFA. I am Bengali but I want to see India play and win an asian tournament. forget world cup. we were winning tournaments back in the 70s. but the pace and professionalism is in stark contrast to the amateur days. unless aiff changes its mindset and dissolves all state leagues and promotes and markets football, India will not make the mark in Asia. Houghton should be given a free hand - his comments on top premier league teams selling their merchandise and the folly of inviting Bayern is embarassingly true. Premier league has been pushing in China as well but China has been making strides on their own. Houghton knows his job let him do it
