Don’t see what you’re getting at.
My point was that if we have a relationship, of whatever kind, in Karachi it kind of makes sense employing Day as he has knowledge of football in that part of the world.
I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. Pakistan is no where near Bangladesh.

Jesus.
I’d imagine managing Bangladesh in international games with surrounding countries is liable to give you a bit more experience than if you’d spent all your life working in the EFL. Ergo any link with Pakistan in type of players, temperament etc is ,ike,y to be a bonus.
There’s some real grindy fuckers on here

I mean in fairness is is the same continent.
It would be like hiring Paul Caddis for his knowledge of football in Italy, you know that part of world. Europe.

It’s not about distance, it’s about culture.

Apart from the divide between Hinduism and Islam that's torn their 2 cultures apart. It's not people getting aggy when people continue to post absolute bollocks

In that case someone in UK would have knowledge of new Zealand as the culture is similar. The link between the 2 is tenuous at best they don't even speak the same language.

I think some are being a bit unfair on Aud here. Surely Banglasesh Geographically play other Asian countries like Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan etc and so I don't think what he's saying is that ridiculous.

That may be the case, but Australia's group included Japan, suadi Arabia and China so I don't really see how it helps. In Europe we have far more cross border high profile comps but very limited interaction in Asia and subcontinent. I suspect the fact that he is a decent coach and has management experience is the reason for his appointment as assistant manager, rather than the possibility that he may have set foot on a football pitch in Pakistan a couple of times.

Although it actually adds less than you'd think to Audrey's case, I wonder how many having a dig here realise Bangladesh used to be called East Pakistan.

I did not know this. Although it changed 51 years ago now.

Pakistan is no where near Bangladesh.
To be fair they are both on the Indian subcontinent and there's only a single country between them. But it is India which is fucking massive.

Some of us knew this, there are not many benefits to being around when large parts of the world were coloured pink. And it had nothing to do with the progressive gay movement. Right, now, where is that SAGA brochure.
