Couple Of Thai Records
It’s hard to get too excited about Buriram PEA winning the Thai Premier League. It’s been a done deal for so long plus the involvement of high profile politicians and the lingering suspicions of franchise football all leave a bad taste in the mouth.
There are though a couple of noteworthy achievements to come out of their triumph. Rangsan Vivatchajchok won his fifth TPL title with a third or fourth different club.
2000 – BEC Tero
2003 – Krung Thai Bang
2004 – Krung Thai Bank
2008 – PEA
2011 – Buriram PEA
Sure likes his corporate teams, this fella. The question is how much are PEA related to Buriram PEA? Are they different teams? Is PEA just a name available to the highest bidder? Does anyone really care?
For Buriram PEA coach Attapon Busabakom it’s his third title as coach with three different clubs
2003 – Krung Thai Bank
2009 – Muang Thong United
2011 – Buriram PEA
