Time for a look at......Nakhon Sawan

Honours:

Pro League: 2001,2003



The Red Lions of Nakhon sawan, after being crowned Provincial League winners in 2001 and 2003, they thought it was time to move up that footballing ladder.
And boy has it been tough!

Consolidation has been the aim since they made the move joining the 1st Division in 2007, hoping to follow in the footsteps of former Pro League rivals Chonburi and hopefully march into the top flight within a 3-5 year period.

Currently, the plan is going backwards, and they seem to be forever looking over their shoulders and toying with life in Division 2, or what we now call the Regional League.

In fact, they should be playing in it after coming 15th and in a relegation spot just last season.

Due to the TPL going pro and Bangkok Bank therefore having to withdraw, they were given some sort of lifeline. This was to start the new domestic season in a 4 way playoff battle to stay in Division One and the chance to again pit their wits against the likes of the Army and Air Force.

They didn’t take this chance, and lost the playoff final to Thai Honda, well didn’t just lose but got stuffed 4-0!

But last chance saloon seems to be what Nakhon Sawan are all about, due to coming runner up in that playoff, they were thrown back into the 1st Division when the Army Welfair Department decide to withdraw – the Red Lions back where they wanted to be!

But have they taken this opportunity as we approach the half way stage of the season?

NO! They have stumbled along at the bottom getting thumped left and right, only recently they have started to show a bit of fight.

Can they beat the drop this season??

Pakistan coming to Thailand??

Pakistan could tour Thailand this month

Sunday, June 07, 2009 By Alam Zeb Safi KARACHI:

The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) plans to arrange a foreign tour for the senior team, most probably to Thailand, at the end of this month, a top official of the PFF told ‘The News’ on Saturday. The secretary of the PFF Col Ahmad Yar Khan Lodhi said that he has contacted the football authorities of Thailand and Iran during the annual Congress meeting of the world football governing body (FIFA) held in North American state of Bahamas the other day and hopefully the federation would be able to convince them to host Pakistan for a ten-day tour.

“Thailand have almost agreed to our proposal but it is not yet confirmed as we are trying to formally make correspondence with them and are writing to them tomorrow (Monday) and I am hopeful that a tour would be arranged by the end of this month, or in the beginning of July,” Lodhi said.

The PFF is trying to arrange the tour according to the wishes of the coach George Kottan who is currently imparting training to the 23 top ranking footballers at the Punjab Stadium in Lahore. Out of the 23-member squad currently busy in the camp only ten players are such who had featured in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Challenge Cup Qualifiers held in Colombo in April this year while the rest are those who have been specifically picked up by the Austrian coach during the National Challenge Cup held at Hyderabad in April. Kottan is trying to groom players for the future. Kottan had told

The News the other day during an interview that foreign tours are very important and added that he had told the PFF to arrange a trip or two in the near future so that the standard of the team could be boosted. “For raising the standard of the team top class competitions are indispensable and I am looking for that. The players learn through exposure and it is indispensable for developing a side,” the 62-year old coach said. Though the current camp in Lahore serves as a refresher course for those already tested in international circuit, but it is a real trial for those who are yet unknown to the coach George Kottan.

Though originally the camp was planned for 14 days but if a foreign tour is arranged within few days it would then continue till the departure of the team for the expected series. “Hopefully, everything about the tour would be made final within the next ten or twelve days. If the tour is managed the camp would continue, and if not, it could then be winded up after the coach completes his job,” the PFF secretary said.
