I've been sitting on this story for a couple of weeks now, waiting for more mainstream media to do
something on it and of course instead of it being a headline stop the press story it kind of sneaks
through the back door.
Basically what I have heard is that the Liga Primer Indonesia will merge with the Indonesia Super
League, the top 10 teams from each division will combine to form a new, I guess, super duper
league.
Headlines began to emerge yesterday that Spurs were taking legal action over the OPLC's decision
to award the 2012 Stratford stadium to West Ham after next year's Olympics.
Although it appears that we haven't quite got to that stage yet, this is what the official
statement reads on the club website:
‘At this stage the Club has not issued any proceedings against the Olympic Park Legacy Company
(the OPLC) or any other party in respect of the decision regarding the award of the Olympic
Stadium.
Back before I started this 'ere drivel I recall watching Steve Darby being interviewed while he was
still coach of Perak and midway through the natter the stadium's floodlights went out leaving the
coach to natter on in pitch black.
Something similar at Tampines Stadium last week when, during a post match chat being filmed, some
bugger turned the floodlights out.
The turgid saga with the PSSI is finally drawing to a close. FIFA have, apparently, said the
current incumbent Nurdin Halid may not stand for re-election and while the PSSI are quite rightly
waiting for confirmation, calling it 'gossip' we do seem to be approaching the end game.
For now the imbroglio continues as people jockey for position and influence but it seems more a
question of when and not if we can look forward to life post Nurdin.

Pelita Jaya, Arema, Persib and Semen Padang rely on raising money on their own while the above
clubs have to go cap in hand to the local government for their funding and that will soon be
withdrawn from them.
