He had some success with the Thai national team but a poor showing in the World Cup campaign.
But if you havent got the standard of players what can you do ?
Maybe if Ronald Koeman moves to Barcelona he could take over at Everton ? Certainly,a cheap option that would appeal to the clubs owners ! :-" Thailand coach Kiatisak resigns after disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign

The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) accepted national team head coach Kiatisak Senamuang’s resignation after Thailand’s bid to qualify for the 2018 World Cup ended in disappointment.
The former Thailand international striker had led the War Elephants to plenty of success, winning the gold medal in the 2012 Southeast Asian Games, the AFF Suzuki Cup twice in 2014 and 2016.
Kiatisak, widely known as Zico, also led Thailand to the final round of the World Cup qualifiers — the second time that Thailand has ever done so in their history.
However the team had fallen short, collecting just one point from seven games.
After returning home from a 4-0 thrashing by Japan, Zico told the press it would be totally up to the FAT president whether he wanted to keep or get rid of the coach and players.
This afternoon, Pol.Gen. Somyos Pumpanmuang fired back at Zico, saying he had never thought of eliminating any players and it was not his job to do so.
The drama concluded when Zico offered his resignation and it was accepted by the FAT.

Heating up in the Championship. At the very top Newcastle & Brighton both just manage to pull off wins against the basement sides in the league. Leeds fail in a tough play off battle away at Reading, who now go above them in the Play off spots. Wednesday's poor run continues with a draw that allows a fairly pumped up Fulham into the last play off place. Just below that, Preston's unlikely surge towards a spot stumbles with a draw.
The Iron continue their slippery slide down the play off spots, but this was a tough ask away at a side also looking for a place themselves. Better news for Vale fans at the other end of the table. A good home win, coupled with other favourable results, sees them zoom up the table to 18th. spot. It is by a hare's breath though as 2 points & goal difference is all the current distance between elimination & safety.
A huge win for Town against the side now immediately above them. It was helped rather by the away side having a man sent off as the second half started, but no one will remember that come season end. Town move up a place away from danger to 21st. as Hartlepool lose at home against 1 of the play off hopefuls. Newport win to put themselves 5 points from safety, but it all looks up for the mess that is Leyton Orient as they shoot themselves in the foot again with a sending off after half an hour..6 games to go & 9 points from safety is a huge ask.
4 first half goals seal the deal for the Silkmen, but surely too late for anything except pride?? Rovers are 3rd. by 4 points now as automatic promotion is a battle between Lincoln City & Tranmere who are only separated by goal difference. City still have a game in hand, but Tranmere have come from a position of no-hope to be a real challenger..

Newcastle 2 Wigan Athletic 1
Reading 1 Leeds 0
Millwall 3 Scunthorpe 1
Port Vale 2 AFC Wimbledon 0
Cheltenham 3 Morecambe 1
Boreham Wood 2 Macclesfield 4
Forest Green Rovers 0 North Ferriby United 1
FC United of Manchester 2 Stalybridge Celtic 2

Bob mustn't know wether to laugh or cry this morning......Cheltenham surely safe in League 2 but how can Forest Green lose at home to the bottom club when they are chasing automatic promotion from the Conference ?

Macclesfield Town this season.....
Home : Played 19 Won 8 Drawn 2 Lost 9
Away : Played 19 Won 10 Drawn 4 Lost 5

Only Lincoln and Tranmere have more away points and Tranmere have played 2 games more.Home form has cost the Silkmen dear this season.

Lincoln City 2-0 Dagenham & Redbridge

Lincoln play their catch up game & go 3 points ahead of Tranmere - they also hold a massive +12 goal advantage. Tranmere can move back even on points when they play at home tonight.

Wednesday 5th April 2017

Newcastle United V Burton Albion 19:45

Brentford 2-0 Leeds United
Rochdale 3-0 Port Vale
Southport 1-2 Macclesfield Town

Brighton move back to the top of the Championship by 2 points, courtesy of an easy home win against Brum & Newcastle not playing. Reading move into third spot but Huddersfield have 2 games inhand on their play off rivals. Fulham suffer from 'commentators' curse', lose & drop out of the play offs as Wednesday rediscover some of their prior form to jump above them.
At the bottom, Rotherham are gone, being 24 points from safety with 6 games remaining. Wigan need to find 8 points, which sounds unlikely. Then it is a battle between Blackburn, Bristol City & Nottm Forest for the final spot.
Vale have a bad away day, but, luckily so do Shrewsbury at home, to keep Vale out of the zone. It is so tight at the bottom though that the loss & so adverse change to goal difference is enough to send them back below Gillingham & Oldham.
2 goals in the first 15 minutes is enough to keep Macclesfield fans hopeful that a play off is still achievable. Tranmere ease back to level on points with leaders Lincoln City, but they have played a game more..

Newcastle United 1-0 Burton Albion

Newcastle go back top by a point & Huddersfield also have an easy home win against Norwich to go back third. With 6 games now to go the top 2 are 9 points ahead & look like they will gain promotion unless something drastic happens.
The play off places look like 5 teams chasing the 4 spots - Huddersfield, Reading, Leeds, Sheff Wed & Fulham with maybe Preston having an outside edge. However, again, the real battle for a spot should be between the last 3 mentioned as Leeds are currently 5 points above Fulham.

never seen anything like in all my days watching football how a referee can give a penalty the penalty is scored then disallowed then a free kick given to the other team I think keith stroud will have a lot of explaining to do if you didn't know better you would of thought he had money on the game the way he preformed

Instead of making Newcastle retake the penalty due to encroachment by a Newcastle player, he awarded an indirect freekick to Burton which was the wrong decision. If the score had remained 0 - 0 they may have had to come back and do it all again from the time of the penalty; just like the England under 19 women's team did against Norway in 2015, however. That was in the 96th minute.

Preston at Leeds tomorrow. A win for them would bring them into the mix. Ex Whites manager, Simon Grayson will be rubbing his hands - his team playing really well at the moment and Leeds looking nervy.

Confident???

Queens Park Rangers 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton go back top by 2 points but have played 1 more than second placed Newcaste. They have played 2 more than third placed Huddersfield but are now 12 points above them with only 5 more games for Brighton to play.
This was their 3rd. victory in just 6 days, but their first for 60 years at the Loftus Road ground.
All that being said it was more a game for the fans to enjoy than any football enthusiasts who happened to be in the crowd. At tis stage of the season it is all about keeping the points rolling in though rather than anything else..

The Preston loss, coupled with the Wednesday win must all but put an end to Preston's hopes of a play off place. Fulham keep up the pressure on Wednesday for the final spot with a win of their own but after suffering a loss of form for the past few weeks it was a significant home win for Sheffield again Newcastle. With only 5 left to play though Newcastle still remain 10 points ahead of 3rd. placed Huddersfield.

A Shrewsbury win sees Vale back into the drop off zone, but it is all mighty tight down there with 4/5 teams battling to keep out of the 2 relegation places & only separated by a couple of points.
A much needed win by the Iron to remain in play off contention. It still looks probable that Bolton (7 points ahead with 4 to play) will still gain the second automatic spot.

Hard fought point for Town as they battle back, having been reduced to 10 men, for a point. Newport win to put the pressure back on those immediately above the drop zone though, with Cheltenham now only 4 points away from danger with 5 to play.

Lincoln remain top on goal difference but second placed Tranmere make a huge dent in that advantage with a 9 nil home thrashing of Solihull. Rovers do all they can & remain a distant 3rd. Macclesfield's hopes are all but over as they have a man sent off while ahead & suffer a damaging home loss to also play off hopefuls, Dagenham.

Massive wins for both the Iron , Leeds ...and Sheff Wednesday ... its gonna go right down to the last game or so and Bet Fred must be nipping his arse cos months ago DM had a wager that Scunny , Leeds and Sheff Wed will be in the playoffs ..didnt say they would win just in the playoffs .

Rumour..... in Kumpawapi and NBLP as BOTH the Leeds faithful Panmotor and Adhoc celebrated a rare win for the mighty Whites by consuming copious amounts of ice tea and fairy cakes , tho im told Adhoc has swapped aligence now to NBLP FC and even had shirts made to show the fact ??? , does anyone really go watch NBLP FC ?? .
