Malaysian FA decide nothing
No surprises but a five hour gob fest to decide on a number of matters relating to the Champions Youth Cup and the future format of the Super League produced nothing except for this wonderful quote.
Last month, the FAM withdrew their support of the CYC after a fall out with Gifted Group who have a contract with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to run the event.
The FAM are unhappy that they were not given the task to run the tournament.
As a result, no FAM official turned up for the draw for the CYC tournament, which was held last month.
Khairy said FAM president Sultan Ahmad Shah would only make a decision upon receiving a documented statement from the organisers of the CYC, Gifted Group, over the handling of the technical aspects of the tournament.
“The Gifted Group have met the FAM president recently but no decision has been made, yet.
“We are not happy with the arrangement. How do you organise a football event in Malaysia when the FAM is not involved?” asked Khairy.
Answers on a postcard!
