<p>National football coach Bob Houghton's alleged racial abuse of an Indian referee is likely to kick up a "storm" at the Annual General Meeting (AGM)of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) next month.<br /><br />  <table style="width: 166px; height: 42px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="166" align="right" border="1">  <tbody>  <tr>  <td>  <p align="right"><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/oct/Houghton.jpg" border="0" /></p></td></tr>  <tr>  <td>  <p align="center"><span style="font-size: 8pt">Bob Houghton</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>Houghton reportedly hurled racial abuses at the fourth referee during India's friendly with Yemen in Pune Oct 13. <br /><br />The referee is said to have lodged a written complaint to the match commissioner who in turn has forwarded it to AIFF.<br /><br />"The issue will create a storm at the AGM, but before that the executive committee will deal with the matter," an AIFF source told IANS.<br /><br />However, with the Asian Cup in Doha in January, the Englishman is likely to be let off with a mild rap on his knuckles.<br /><br />"Houghton is lucky, in view of the upcoming Asian Cup, he will get away with a mere warning. The British coach's future will, however, hinge on the team's performance in the tournament," the source said. </p>
