Buriram – Why the vilification?

Why is everyone on Buriram’s case? – yes of course we all hate a team that dominates. But let’s think outside the box. Buriram should be and will be the template for TPL teams in the next decade or so. Am I the only one to see this?

The demise of “no fans” TOT and hopefully Port this year is a start to an inexorable process. The fact that an upcoming Cup final is to be competed for by two teams from Issaan is only the start, so we all need to get used to it.

The rest of the “no fans” Bangkok teams will eventually regress to the second and third tier, to be replaced by the forward looking and well managed teams from the provinces.

Hopefully the Udon Thani revolution will continue and I look forward to them joining the other Issaan powerhouses Buriram and NRFC in the top tier in the coming years – add Chang Mai, Ubon and Konkaen and you start getting towards a dynamic league with a real future.

It’s going to take time but it WILL happen – so get used to it!!!
