Has football administrators become cheap?

It didn't surprise anyone. Not even me. That Mr Praful Patel won't be announcing the dates for the already pending interviews of those who had already applied for secretary and CEO posts. It's been three months now. Once again, Mr Alberto Colaco has been given an extension till December. While some say it has been deliberately done because of political pressure, others still hope that the dates will come out soon. Whatever the reasons may be, it was not what we all had waited to beat Delhi's evening traffic and reach on time at the IRDA Complex.
It seems that the media and the entire football fraternity has been fooled by AIFF mandarins. Why the AIFF's Executive Committee keep pushing the interview dates, I still fail to understand. Well, I guess it is all about the murky politics that is being played inside the corner rooms of Football House.
Just before the AGM and Ex Co meeting on Oct 20, important officials were given cushy assignments like foreign tours. While others have been asked to wait. It has been designed to perfection. Nothing can beat this game. Give any member a foreign tour. Make them managers of the Indian team or Delegation Head (???), they would be happy to serve you.
The power, the importance of being AIFF secretary definitely holds a lot of importance. So it was not surprising to find that Mr Colaco (who I knew as an easy going, soft spoken and an affable person when I met him first in 1998 in Goa when he was GFA secretary) will pull all the strings just to retain the post. But then Mr Colaco why don't you leave the Football House gracefully rather than hang around with people around want you to bid goodbye. Someone should tell him and make him understand that world is too small a place and AIFF is only a small portion of it. Has anyone told him that he cannot hold on to two different posts?
Now that he has been elected as SAFF secretary, it would be better (ethically) if he vacates the AIFF secretary's seat rather than take favours from the spineless Executive Committee members most of whom are already senior citizens turned Machiavelli. So just like a pilgrimage tour, these senior citizens (Ex Co members) wait for their turn. It may be not be a Haj or a visit to the Kashi and Badrinath. But definitely more colourful tours where you get to see the unseen world.
