The AIFF is not interested in any compromise formula with national football coach Bob Houghton who is facing racial abuse charges. Top sources said that his nearly five-yeartenure at the helm is as good as over. The sources said that there was no truth in the reports that Houghton and the AIFF are negotiating for a compromise formula to drop the racial abuse charges if the coach quits immediately. A source told PTI on Thursday that Houghton is not going to step onto the field with the Indian team again and the Asian Cup in Doha in January was his last assignment. Houghton, whose contract with the AIFF runs up to 2013, was slapped a show cause notice for his alleged racial abuse of referee Dinesh Nair in an international friendly against Yemen last year. Under Houghton, India played in 2011 Asian Cup in Doha, the first time after 27 years. Besides, he also guided the team to two Nehru Cup triumphs — in 2007 and 2009. The only blip in an otherwise successful tenure was the team's outing in Doha, where they were clubbed with Asian heavyweights like South Korea, Australia and Bahrain.
