Nepal is in 16th century!!! : Graham Roberts.

Yesterday I joined a Facebook page named "Graham Roberts, Please Come Back!! Nepali Football Needs You", having a little hope he would come back or new contract would be signed after the shameful exit from AFC challenge Cup happening in Kathmandu. But today I am reading his leaving remarks, from which we can imagine how frustrated he is from the situation here in our country. Read the full leaving note below.
Picture taken from the Facebook page
"This was my last match as the coach. It’s a great pleasure to be the coach of this beautiful nation—Nepal. I have enjoyed thoroughly while managing this team. I would like to thank ANFA President, ANFA officials my good friend, Krishna Manandhar for their support. I would like to thank supporters who are the best in the world. All the Nepalese supporters should be proud of this team. I am also thankful to all those who were with me in the good and bad times.I enjoyed each moments here in Nepal. I wish for the bright future of Nepali football. Today in the morning, my two players were not there. They were kidnapped by the Army. This is so sad. Raju Tamang and Bikash Malla were forced to pull off from the AFC Challenge Cup by them. They were told to face the Cort-martial if they hadn't gone along. I believed we are in 21st Century, not in 16th century. I am very much saddened by this incident. Nepalese life goes like this. They are Army, so their life is. In other countries, Football always remains Football. But here, they are army even in Football ground. And Army is very powerful here in Nepal".
