Financial constraints may force the end of Peter Withe's love affair with Thai football as his contract as national-team boss ends this month. The former Aston Villa and England player has been coach of south-east Asia's strongest team, for several years, but a lack of funds in Thailand football could bring and end to his reign. "I don't know. It is up to the association," said Withe. "The simple fact is I am waiting." His contract expires at the end of this month and it is understood that the Thailand FA (FAT) does not have the financial means to keep him on. "The association will sort out the situation regarding the future of the coach and I cannot say yes or no or make any comment at this time," said FAT secretary general Wowari Makudi, who revealed that there would be a meeting to discuss the matter. By any standards Withe has been successful in the job. He took Thailand to the SEA Games gold medal in 1999, won the Tiger Cup in 2000 and this year led them to the second round of Asian World Cup qualifying.

Our FA were very generous in paying Withe's wages before the WC was allocated to Germany, why aren't they still offering to pay?

He shouldn't get his hopes up, meetings with FAT secretaries rarely bare fruit.
