People don't know what they have, until they have lost it . Well said: "People don't know what they have, until they have lost it". .
Most definitely. LCW/MS have earned the privilege to be left alone to plan and focus on their OG12 campaign. No one should waste their time or energy with nonsense or distract them. These CTC bugs just cannot comprehend the difference in intensity between world class and state level badminton. If any other player in BAM can achieve that high level, they should also be left undisturbed. How many players in the world reach that level anyway? Only one! WR1 for two years! Any WR1 for two years in MD,XD, WS or WD? Why not? Think about it.
As to post 289 regarding CTC, I have a feeling we will know whether they are making sense or not after the conclusion of the Men's Singles of the Malaysian,Korean and All England. In the meantime let's KIV their remarks.
Less tournaments and yet still have to participate in SEA Games???? Last year, LCW only participated in 7 SS (winning all except one) + 2 GP Golds (winning both) + 1 SS Final (winning again) + WC (QF) + Thomas Cup + Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games (winning Silver and Gold respectively in the Individual Events); a total of 14 tournaments, not including the domestic Opens. He lost only 5 times in the entire year (twice to Lin Dan, once to Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Taufik Hidayat, and Boonsak Ponsana). So, it appeared that the number of tourneys will still stay the same or may even increase (if you include the Sudirman Cup and SEA Games)?
Misbun should run for Parliament next General Election... He needs to obtain Power before he can change BAM!
LCW should rest and not participate in GP Gold tournaments . IMHO, LCW (and other World Top 10 players) should rest and not participate in GP Gold tournaments. Why? Because GP Gold tournaments are organised for our 2nd and lower tiers of players. I understand why CTC will call for LCW to participate in 'Inter-Nations Games' no matter how strong or weak the Games are. As CTC have said it's for 'National Interest'. .
That would be a very direct answer They should waste no time and start their plans on training while waiting for the final outcome from bam I think you are confused, maybe not enough reading and some of the posts by other bc members here are quite good actually.
I forgot a KEY word which has huge implications. They want LCW to PEAK at the AE,WC & SEA Games. It was all reported in the Star a few Sundays ago.
*nod*nod*... Heard someone said, "People who don't value themselves, can't appreciate others"... despite all our efforts to make them understand or even buy them a thousand dictionaries, they will never get it... ever! Pity that very soul...
All our efforts to make them understand or even buy them a thousand dictionaries .... . Despite all our efforts to make them understand or even buy them a thousand dictionaries, they will never get it. It is because of their energy is triggered only when they are facing situation relating to themselves. If it is for Badminton as a sport and/or for other coaches and players, they won't understand. .
MS should reconsider about quitting badminton for good and LCW should instead have a heart to heart discussion with MS about coming back from 'retirement' specifically to coach him outside BAM. In other words LCW breaks away from BAM and employs MS as his coach. This way this incomparable made in heaven pair will bring great honours to Malaysia. Surely this is better for both MS and LCW as it will provide them with peace of mind to do what they have to do. BAM and the country will not desert them and will honour them with more rewards if they are successful. This is much better than trying 'topple' BAM with an ultimatum of 'meet all my conditions' or else. The former is what most posters here want, the latter is 'regime change'.
This is much better than trying 'topple' BAM . From where did you get the idea that MS and LCW wanted to 'topple' BAM? .
I think LCW having MS as coach is an almost foregone conclusion. They will continue to be probably the only ones to bring honour to Malaysia, regardless of heavenly blessings or not. And that would be the result more of hard work, than prayer. MS has not at any stage mentioned that he intends to topple BAM or issue an ultimatum. On the contrary, he has very clearly stated (on more than one occasion for those hard of hearing) that he wants nothing to do with them. He wants to quit, as per even your first line, unless that was typed by mistake. We must be reading very different reports. Would you like to share the report you are reading from?
What do you think are the implications of para 4 of this www.mmail.com.my/content/60773-indispensable-misbun? MS says all or he quits. Now if BAM were to cave in this will open the floodgates and it will lose its credibility and legitimacy. Misbun wouldn't care two hoots, would he?
That's why i asked you a couple of times you have any idea of the 5 pages emailed to bam Misbun explain clearly what happen there so if the president did not know everything before he should know by then. The sports minister read his email also and he didn't see much of a big problem, did he? By now you should be clearer I think What I see will be some changes and it won't happen so soon
The point that you have missed...... . The point that you have missed is: Misbun has resigned already (on 31-Dec-2010). Misbun has already made up his mind. You are implying that Misbun would resign if BAM do not to cave in. This is not true. However, the BAM president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Salleh has asked the CTC to reconsider changing their 'new structure', in the hope that Misbun will return. It is not Misbun asking the CTC to change their 'new structure'. Some are assuming that Misbun would return if the CTC change their 'new structure'. I can only say that 'only Misbun can decide for himself'. .
Although Misbun has sent his resignation letter to BAM on 31 Dec 2010, his resignation WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REJECTED by the BAM. So, techinically, he has not left BAM!
