What can Perak FA learn from Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan & Johor FC?

  1. Malaysian and Perak football scene can do well and deliver results without the help of foreign football/soccer coaches. All four teams (Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan & Johor FC) are coached by local football/soccer coaches and their results so far were much more impressive than Perak’s even though Perak is managed and coached by an English football/soccer coach.
  2. Perak doesn’t need experienced but expensive football/soccer players to succeed. Take a look at Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan & Johor FC. Their teams were built around young and unknown players but yet they have delivered results far superior than Perak.
  3. Perak must replace their over-the-hill football/soccer players (Khalid Jamlus for an example) with fast, young and talented players. This is something that Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johor FC have in abundance and the advantage of having such players can be clearly seen from their impressive results in the current 2007-2008 Malaysian Super League football/soccer season.
  4. Results can be achieved by spending money on the right players and the right coaches. Hiring expensive foreign football/soccer coaches will not always bring the desired results and Perak should know this well enough. Perak FA’s stubbornness in accepting this simple fact has disappointed their football/soccer fans in and outside the country far too long already.
