Who will be the next chief of IHF?
Indian Hockey continues to suffer. The biggest joke is the power struggle to take control of the IHF. So we decided to take a tongue-in-cheek look at the serious challengers. But, who knows any of these could actually happen!.
INDIAN HOCKEY seems to be struck in a whirl of issues and problems. The latest one is the ongoing struggle between various groups to seize control of the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF). Here is the list of contenders, one of which will possibly be the next chief of IHF
*
JB Roy – He has the support of the team’s sponsors Sahara and 31 of the state affiliates.
*
The existing ad hoc body lead by Suresh Kalmadi will continue.
*
KP S Gill – Even the sports minister could not banish him completely and he has the support of 21 of the state affiliates
*
It’s been reported that the sports ministry is looking for Kabir Khan to take over. His whereabouts were not known till the time of reporting.
*
Now that George Bush is retiring, he wants to be the chief. It’s his secret mission to revenge his country’s embarrassing 24-1 defeat to India.
*
We will have a game show – who wants to be the chief of the IHF. Zee was hosting the show initially but their show has been banned and Doordarshan (DD) is doing an alternate show.
*
We will have a lottery to pick the winner. Dawood Ibrahim has successfully bid for the distribution rights of the tickets.
*
The anarchy in the body will lead to President’s rule and Pratibha Patil will become the next head.
*
With the high number of tribal players in the game, the governemnet will reserve this seat for a tribal and place Shibu Soren on the chair.
*
We will place Dhyan Chand’s shoes on the chair and let it rule like God Rama’s footwear ruled Ayodhya in Ramayana.
*
We will have a surprise new candidate – some politician will cobble together enough support and spring a surprise.
*
We will not have a chief – they are no good anyways.
*
Let’s get a euthanasia practitioner. He will at least ensure that Hockey dies a peaceful death.
