Fandi is leaving singapore to coach overseas
-
He's leaving next month when his contract with FAS expires next month. clubs from Malaysia and Indonisia has expressed interest.
-
goodbye!!!
-
good for him.
time for him to absorb all others' teachings and then come back to our shores, and boost up the national team. -
boost what national team...Sillypore's national team will just be that...a SEA power who can only beat the likes of malaysia or indonesia...world cup?? forget it...not in the next 500 years...by then probably Sillypore will be absorbed into Indonesia or Malaysia or even they all become one country thru war or something....
But anyhow, I fully support people who want to go overseas and make it big...isn't that what the gahmen say....
Better to make your bucks overseas and forget about soccer here....its there just to give an excuse for people to place bets that's all
Fandi has coaching talent I'm sure....Sillypore is just a small market...how much can a club here pay...Pay too much...people will suspect and complain why waste so much....typical Sillyporeans attitude.....
Fandi I wish you all the best.... -
to have a fellow Singaporean call his own country "sillypore" is probably one of the most sickening things to happen!!! leave the country if you think that way, no one is stopping you..Originally posted by Coquitlam:boost what national team...Sillypore's national team will just be that...a SEA power who can only beat the likes of malaysia or indonesia...world cup?? forget it...not in the next 500 years...by then probably Sillypore will be absorbed into Indonesia or Malaysia or even they all become one country thru war or something....

btw in related news, fandi's eldest son is joining the under 11 national team.
-
pahang wants him as technical director
-

-
read in the papers that Fandi is leaving to get more money to clear his loans.
pity him, from a high.. -
loan??

i know he went into business before but failed? sells car i think.. -
footballers dun make a good businessman after they retire.Originally posted by iceFatboy:read in the papers that Fandi is leaving to get more money to clear his loans.

maybe fandi shd have followed fowler, invest in real estate and wait to collect rental and capital appreciation of the real estate.
his character also suggest he is not cut out as a businessman. he is 2 nice to turn people away, you cant do that in business. business and friendship doesnt mix, just like religion and politics, water and oil. -
sunday times got an article on fandi, you didnt read?Originally posted by mhcampboy:loan??

i know he went into business before but failed? sells car i think..
he sold his properties overseas at a lost, his failed business include F & B and second hand car business. his millions earned as a footballer were being wiped out, now he is reportedly 500k in debt. -

got online story??
wow... 500k in debt!!
tsk tsk... this is so bad...
oh..btw... he earned millions last time ar? -
fandi shd have started a football academy in Sg, doing what he does best, ie soccer. he shdnt have started a second hand car business, his character also not suited for him to be a hardnosed and ruthless businessman.
just like joseclin yeo and his bro, started a swimming school, ang peng siong also, APS swimming school. -
well, as story goes, he was fascinated about cars.
well, all the best to him. -
but he doesnt know the business abt cars, like suppliers, the kinda customers he wanted to target, pricing, rentals, labour costs etc etc.Originally posted by iceFatboy:well, as story goes, he was fascinated about cars.
well, all the best to him.
some more, he didnt studied business modules in schools before, dunno what cash flow, the 4P's of marketing, accounts and finance, market segmentation, forecasting etc etc. most important of all, entreprenuership is abt. -
another avenue for fandi, go to Dubai and work as coach there.
clubs at Dubai are flushed with oil money. he can work there for few years and clear his 500k debts easily. -
Good for him. At least he still got value.
Working overseas better pay, free perks like housing & kid's education, car etc. Cost of living in Indonesia also lower.
Good to have overseas exposure.
Be a foreign talent, & if life is better there, can also migrate! -
his value as coach lar cos of his experiences as a top player in this region. he also lead SAF to league title 2, also a stint with the national team as coach.Originally posted by gerrykoh:Good for him. At least he still got value.

as for business, i still feel it is wiser for him to start a football academy for kids. -
From the Sunday Times article I read, it says that his businesses failed simply because he's too much of a nice guy.
Apparently some people had taken advantage of him, though the article didn't specify how. In addition, he offered to be the guarantor to a couple of his business partners who went bankrupt, leaving him with their loans to clear.
Heck, when a friend of his wanted to buy a second-hand car from him, he gave him another car dealer's contacts instead. Apparently he felt bad about earning money from his friend.
In fact, he was offered technical directorship of Pahang, but turned it down as he feared that another good friend of his (who is the Pahang coach) may be shunted to the periphery.
It's sad that being too much of a nice guy can be bad.

to be a guarantor for anything is already bad, how much more as guarantor for businesses. when there is a default for payment, guess who the banks is going to chase after? guarantor of course. moral of the story is, dun ever be a guarantor for anyone, even your relatives. you dunno what you are signing for as a guarantor until default of payment happened, then you are in big trouble.
not only footballers, actors / actresses, sportsman like remy ong (bowler) popiah business also went bust. they dunno a thing in business and just go along with their partners as they provide part of the capital, like a sleeping partner. they have no clue on how to do business, where to get clients, how much money needed to sustain rental and labour costs etc.
moral of the story, most sportsmen businesses went bust, but minority like wigan owner Noel Whelan JJB retails business in UK is a classic case of sportsman make good, but that is only a handful of successful sportsmen making a transition. -
That swimmer dunno whats the name have several spa...
-
I think normally you will act for a guarantor unless you got burned before or the person you are doing this service has a bad record.
Either way, hard for anyone to know until it happens.
For him, I read in the papers that there were some tensions within the family, but I sincerely hope for the best to happen to Fandi.
And yes, he should do something close to what his interests and impt, what he is good at, and that's a soccer academy.
he can be the technical director or something and have professionals to run the business. that way he can't be "makan"ed.
either way, sometimes we need to fall, to learn how to stand. -
