Toyota League Cup Final press day

Thongchai Sukkokee, Steven Robb and Ekkapoom Potharungroj represented Thai Port at today's pre-Toyota League Cup Final press conference held at the Golden Tulip Sovereign hotel in Bangkok. The event was attended by several dignitaries including Kyoichi Tanada (president of Toyota Thailand), Kanokphan Chunlakasem (governor of the Sport Authority of Thailand), Pongsak Phalonan (president of Siam Sport Syndicate), Winfried Schäfer (Thailand national team manager) and Miss Thailand!

Thongchai told the assembled press that Thai Port's aim is to defend the title and to stop Buriram completing a clean sweep of this season's domestic trophies. Coach Thong went on to state that although the Port players are inferior in quality to their Buriram counterparts, he believes that the mental strength of our squad and the support from our fans can help guide us to victory.

The winners of the Toyota League Cup Final will receive 5,000,000 baht in prize money plus the chance to represent Thailand in the Toyota Premier Cup vs J-league side Vegalta Sendai on February 18th at Suphachalasai Stadium.

Yet another departure

Thai Port boss Thongchai Sukkokee has confirmed to TLO that Mongkol Namnaud and Todsapol Lated have been snapped up by a rival team, whilst Worawut Wangsawad (pictured below-left) has also agreed terms with another club - rumoured to be Suphanburi FC. The 30-year-old midfielder has also been linked with Sisaket and his former club TTM.

Thongchai went on to state that Mong & Todsapol could still feature for Port in the Toyota League Cup Final vs Buriram on February 4th. The game kicks-off at 5:00pm or 5:30pm (get there early) and will be televised on Channel 3.

UPDATE: Manager.co.th reckon that Worawut has indeed signed for Suphanburi. It doesn't look like he will be playing in the Cup Final - Munze and Moise, however, might be able to play. Thai Port spokesman Denphong Pongyaat claims that the club hope to pay 2-months wages to the players and staff before the end of January...
