BANGKOK (28 August 2009) – While Peter Reid has bee quoted of his desire to quit Thailand to join Stoke City, the president of the FA of Thailand (FAT) Dato Worawi Makudi has insisted that the Englishman will see out his four-year contract. Stoke City’s Tony Pulis had admitted earlier this week of his interest in signing Reid to be his new No. 2 following the departure of David Kemp to move to South America as part of the club's scouting network. But Worawi, who is currently in England as guest of the English FA, admitted that he had talked to the former Sunderland and Leeds manager and the latter had confirmed that he will return to Thailand. "I spoke to him on the phone and he says he wants to continue as Thailand's coach," said Dato Worawi. "Once everything was sorted out with the Thai FA, which was important because I did have three years left on a deal there and I did not want to upset anyone there, I was delighted to say yes and be part of it (Stoke)," Reid was quoted to BBC Radio Stoke on Wednesday. "I enjoyed it there. The players are technically very, very good. It's a great place to live in terms of the culture and the climate. But the Premier League is the greatest league in the world and I'm English through and through. Even though it was very difficult to leave, it was always my ambition to come back here and work." Worawi said that he will meet with in person to get a clear-cut answer from him. "I will ask him to make it clear. It will be an end to the confusing matter if he says he wants to continue coaching Thailand," added Worawi. "But if he wants to terminate the contract (he signed last September), then I can't do anything." In Bangkok, FAT secretary-general Ong-art Kosinkha said that Reid's assistant Steve Darby would be the front-runner to replace Reid if he decide to leave. http://www.aseanfootball.org/headlines_01.asp?id=996 |

...loose ends being tied up before his move to the Britannia Stadium is official and that he is hoping to take some of the pressure off the FAT... If somebody able to give me an interpretation or meaning of those words? Ok, my english isn't that bad, but I can't get really behind the words. |

The Peter Reid saga is getting ridiculous.
Either he wants to be assistant manager of Stoke City or Thailand coach. I do not see why the FAT is bending over backwards for a guy who has broken his contract and conducted himself disgracefully in seeking employment elsewhere. A coach should be here looking at the Thai Premier League matches not waltz in after the season is over, coach for a few weeks and take a handsome cheque. However, as mentioned before, there could well be more to this than meets the eye.
Tor Chittinand, Bangkok Post
The Peter Reid saga has become complicated as the Englishman may take a double role as Thailand's national coach and Stoke City's assistant manager.
Football Association of Thailand (FAT) chief Worawi Makudi, who is in Manchester, insisted yesterday that Reid is still Thailand's coach until both sides reach an agreement.
"He will be Thailand's coach until after the Asian Cup qualifying round is over," Worawi told England-based Thai journalists.
He said the former Sunderland manager had asked for permission to help his friend Stoke manager Tony Pulis temporarily.
"He told me (on the phone) that the Stoke job is not a permanent one and the club have not yet officially appointed him assistant manager," Worawi said.
"He said he will return to Thailand after the Thai Premier League season ends in October."
Reid, 53, signed a four-year contract with the FAT last September. He has been working as Pulis' assistant and has told the English media his intention to return to England.
Worawi was scheduled to meet Reid in Manchester last night after the Stoke v Sunderland match.
Reid was expected to be asked to tell Thai journalists what he really wants.
In Bangkok, Thailand's assistant coach Steve Darby said Reid had told him that he wanted to help Pulis for a while.
"I think Peter wants to do two jobs like Guus Hiddink did last season," he said. Russia coach Hiddink also managed Chelsea until the end of last season before returning to Russia.

And most of Russia's better players are in western Europe. The dual role idea is not a good one in this instance. With Reid at Stoke, Darby is effectively first team coach and manager now. Good practice for the future...

Agree, amkes no sense to hold him any longer. Wouldn't be good, cause I think the players lost the trust in him already. Would he simply state last wekk, after agreed with the FAT, that he want to do 2 jobs, fine. I guess nobody would claim anything. But after that circus...

But if it's true that he hasn't been paid for a couple of months, as the Bangkok Post article suggests, then you should all be directing your anger at the FAT, not at Reid.

As mentioned in a previous post on the subject, things are rarely what they seem in Thai football. Also, they are not always what you read in the Bangkok Post. An article on Saturday by "Nobby Piles" mentioned the rumour that Reid had not been paid for three months but the very next line had a quote from the FAT general secretary to the effect that "got his cheque every month."
Anyway, reckon this story has still a fair bit to run.
Here's today's Bangkok Post take.
====
Peter Reid will continue as the national team coach, according to Football Association of Thailand (FAT) president Worawi Makudi
Worawi's statement came after he met the Englishman at a Thai restaurant in Manchester on Saturday night.
English Premeir League chairman Sir David Richards, who introduced Reid to Worawi, was also at the meeting.
Worawi and Reid shook hands in front of Thai journalists to signal an end to the will-he-stay-or-go saga.
"Everything has become clear. We have reached a conclusion that Reid will remain as Thailand's coach. He is likely to return to Thailand this week," Worawi told England-based Thai reporters.
Reid worked as assistant to Stoke City manager Tony Pulis last week but Worawi said this was not a serious matter because Reid had asked for his permission.
"He did not sign a contract with Stoke," said Worawi.
"He just helped his friend. He cannot go anywhere at the moment because he is still under contract with the FAT."
Reid, 53, signed a four-year contract with the FAT last September. He earlier told the English media that he wanted to return to England and was seen at Stoke's training sessions in the club's kit.
There were also reports that Reid might take a double role as Thailand's coach and Stoke's assistant manager. Worawi's confirmation ended a week of confusing news about Reid's future.
Reports claimed Reid was upset that he had not been paid by the FAT for a couple of months.
But the former England midfelder declined comment after Saturday's meeting, saying Worawi would talk to the press.
The former Sunderland and Leeds manager will return to Thailand to prepare his squad for the country's next Asian Cup qualifying matches.
Thailand travel to Singapore on November 14 and receive them on November 18.
Reid is also in charge of Thailand's SEA Games (Under-23) side and Worawi dismissed reports that former national coach Chanwit Phalajin will coach the team.
Reid's assistant Steve Darby will be in charge of the SEA Games team under the supervision of Reid, Worawi said.
"Steve has already started his work. I don't know where news about Chanwit came from," he said.

Indeed. That's why I said "if" it's true. And if it is true the FAT are hardly likely to admit it anyway. We'll perhaps never know exactly what's been going on. |

Cloud Of Peter Reid Departure Has Silver Lining For ThailandThailand are without a coach but John Duerden believes that the right candidate is already in place...Bangkok or Burslem? Phuket or the Potteries? These choices are never as simple as they seem and Peter Reid has returned home to England after almost exactly one year in charge of the Thailand national team. As far as Asian football goes, the departure of Reid to become Stoke City’s assistant manager is something of a loss. There may not have been a huge impact on the pitch but the presence of an experienced Premier League coach, the last to take Manchester City to a higher-place finish than Manchester United, in South-East Asia helped raise the profile of the region. Reid was still learning about his job, the country and the culture when he left with three years remaining on his contract. More than once the ex-Everton enforcer spoke of how much he enjoyed his Thai time but in the end he was more than keen to return to England, the Premier League and his family. His major achievement was leading the team to the final of the 2008 ASEAN final when they lost to Vietnam on a heady Hanoi night that he will not forget in a hurry. Now it is up to the Football Association of Thailand to decide what to do next - well, it is the decision of president Worawi Makudi. Nothing will happen until Worawi, still hopeful, according to the Thai media, that Reid may stay, returns home but already there is Brazilian interest in the vacant job. In recent years the federation, whether by design or by accident, has alternated between domestic and foreign coaches. Steve Darby is a mixture of both. The man may have a name that suggests a 1970s television detective but Reid’s sidekick is probably the best candidate for the job. If you work in Asian football then sooner or later you will come across the man from Liverpool. That is why he deserves a shot – there is nobody from outside South-East Asia who knows the region so well. When Reid was offered the job last summer, the first thing he did was call upon his fellow Scouser. Darby has coached in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore and is well-respected for his efforts on behalf of football in the region both on and off the pitch – not least, his coaching seminars and texts that have been well received by domestic coaches. Reid knew that he needed Darby’s expertise and it was the number two who did much of the work on the training pitch with the players and travelling around Thailand watching game after game of what is one of Asia’s fastest-improving leagues. The last thing that Reid did when he ended his Asian adventure was recommend to the FA that Darby be his successor. It is reminiscent in some ways of South Korea in 2005. Dick Advocaat spent nine months in charge of the national team, called upon Pim Verbeek for local knowledge and a European perspective, and the number two became number one upon Advocaat’s departure and is now thriving as Australia’s coach. If the Thai FA turns to Darby, it would ensure at least that the impact of Reid’s departure is minimised and that the work done over the past year continues. A number of international players have already said they want the number two to become number one. Players usually do, but when talking to star striker Teerathep Winothai recently, he was fulsome in his praise of the genial tactician. The Thai FA talks of the 2014 World Cup but for now the objective for the national team is to reclaim their number one spot in South-East Asia in the face of challenges from Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. For this, at least, a man with local expertise and international experience is necessary. The battles with continental powerhouses and the world can come later. First, Thailand have to qualify for the 2011 Asian Cup, and the team have made a solid start in their campaign. A creditable draw in Jordan was followed by an impressive one with Iran in Bangkok. Next, in November, come two games against regional and group rivals Singapore, two matches that could make or break Thailand’s 2011 ambitions. Preparations have already been made and given the fact Darby has coached in the S-League, winning the league and cup in 2003, and knows the nation well, he is the logical choice and would be in it for the long haul. Logic doesn’t always come into it as far as football is concerned, especially in Asia and especially in South-East Asia - something that makes the region so fascinating - but with every problem comes an opportunity, and this is the case for Thai football at the moment.

Reuters story on the parting of the ways. I cannot say I agree that Reid "will be sorely missed in Thailand after giving the notoriously underachieving team a major facelift." Okay, he introduced a couple of new faces, changed the tactics and had the team playing in his his battling style to an extent but major facelift? And they did not win the AFF Suzuki Cup.
Englishman Peter Reid has parted company with Thailand by mutual consent after agreeing to work with Premier League Stoke City, Thailand's soccer chief told Reuters on Wednesday.
Reid had asked to remain coach of the Southeast Asian country alongside working as assistant manager at Stoke, but Thailand would not agree to the request, Worawi Makudi said.
"We have agreed to terminate the contract with Peter Reid as our national team coach," he said in a telephone interview.
"He wanted to work in the Premier League at the same time but we told him it could not work that way. He could not do both, it's impossible."
The former England international player and seasoned manager will be sorely missed in Thailand after giving the notoriously underachieving team a major facelift.

Reid's departure regarded by fans, critics as best outcome
Darby takes over on temporary basis
Writer: WANCHAI RUJAWONGSANTI AND TOR CHITTINAND
Few tears were shed as Thai fans and critics yesterday welcomed the end of Peter Reid's tenure as national team coach.

Football Association of Thailand president Worawi Makudi announced yesterday that he had terminated Reid's contract with the FAT.
The move was agreed by mutual consent as the former Sunderland boss wanted to be assistant to Stoke City manager Tony Pulis, according to Worawi who called Reid on Tuesday night.
"I agree with the decision. Our national pride is important," said Pinit Ngampring, head of the Cheer Thai Power Club, the biggest fan club in Thai football.
"He hurt our feelings. He was still under contract with Thailand but worked at Stoke City. I think this was a serious case."
Reid, 53, told the English media last month that he wanted to work in the English Premier League and did not have a problem being Pulis' assistant.
Although the Thai national team do not have matches until they play Singapore home and away in the Asian Cup qualifying round in November, Reid should have been here to watch national team players and look for young stars, Pinit said.
He said Thailand under Reid had not made much progress, although the players looked to have more discipline and trained harder.
Pinit suggested that if the next national coach is a foreigner, then he should be tasked with overseeing the whole system from youth to full national level.
Veteran sports writer Thepachai Winothai of Daily News said it was apparent that Reid's heart was not here.
"His heart is in England with Stoke City, so let him go. It's useless to keep him," he said.
Thepachai said he was upset when Reid told the English media of his desire to work at Stoke when he still was Thailand's coach.
Reid's assistant Steve Darby has been appointed acting national coach until a new one is named.
Darby said he did not have a problem being head coach or assistant coach.
"I don't have any problem working as the national coach. I know the players a lot and the Asian Cup qualifying round is coming up and I am looking forward to this," he said.
"I think by next week, the FAT will sort it out. I have been watching the players from the TPL (Thai Premier League) every week and have got a lot of information about the players."
Charnvit Phalajivin, who quit as national coach last year and was succeeded by Reid, said Darby was a good choice to replace Reid.
"Steve has been working with the team for one year so he should not have any problem," he said. "We should look forward. The FAT must appoint a new coach as soon as possible." http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/23576/reid-departure-regarded-by-fans-critics-as-best-outcome |
