Harian Metro, 15 Jan 2008 Kim Her sedia kembali BEKAS pemain kebangsaan, Tan Kim Her yang kini menjadi jurulatih beregu lelaki England sedia menimbang tawaran untuk membimbing mana-mana pasukan di Malaysia selepas Sukan Olimpik Beijing, Ogos depan. “Kontrak saya dengan Persatuan Badminton England akan berakhir pada Mei tahun depan, tetapi selepas Olimpik, ia menjadi lebih fleksibel. “Sudah tentu sebagai rakyat Malaysia, saya sentiasa bersedia untuk menabur bakti kepada negara sendiri,” katanya yang sebelum ini menjadi jurulatih beregu Korea selama dua tahun. Sementara itu, pusingan kelayakan Terbuka Malaysia di Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil, bermula jam 9 pagi ini. Tan Kim Her is ready to consider offers to coach any Msian team after OG in Aug. "My contract with BA England expires next May (2009), but after OG, it is more flexible. Of course as Msian, I'm always ready to contribute to own nation."
I dont think the reports are true. Anyway, I think it is better for him to coach abroad as the setup is more professional.
but i believe his heart is still in malaysia.. its still his country.. n its still where his career was brought up... but if BAM's policy is still unprofessional, no matter which coach they may bring in, i think it can make the best out of it..
Aiyoo Dato, you really havent been following the 'trend', Rexy wouldnt get sacked wan lah, if OG fail to get minimum bronze (target set by Sports Ministry & NSC), will be on Yap Kim Hock's head. NSC Director dont like Yap KH, spoke of Yap unfavourably before. Rexy is golden boy, everybody praise him for bringing Msia's MD to get AG gold in MD & AE 2007. If MD do badly like none reach Semi, Rexy himself will resign. Even then, dont think Tan Kim Her really will come back so fast - unless Tan KH is unhappy in England & he patch up already with the ppl he conflicted with in BAM. ##George, you also know impossible, George got follow 'trend', he he
European always a relax ppl. Win or lose also doesnt matter. I am afraid that TKH will be 2nd Grade Coach if stay long period in UK.
He won't be a 2nd grade coach. Thats one thing for sure. Anyhow, i'm pretty sure that he will be ready to go back to Malaysia if he is needed. Somehow he has better relationships with the Koreans , Japanese than the Malaysians. Not that he don't like Malaysia since he is a Malaysian. Anyway i will be happy if he comes back and coach for Malaysia.
Tan Kim Her wont come back and coach in Malaysia. Why should he in the first place?? Quitting England for Malaysia!? Why quit a 1st world mentality set up for a 3rd world one?? To come back to Malaysia and put up with the politicians, their lackeys, BAM hanger ons and pampered shuttlers would be the last thing on TKH's agenda.
