As per sources, the players' passports were collected by the team manager on the instruction of the head coach, a common practice for youth teams but not for the senior team. Only players with no #AsianGames commitments had their passports returned this morning.
Stupid FSDL and AIFF for not realising that national team fortunes directly affect clubs' fortunes in terms of fan attraction and sponsorship. And now if all ISL clubs refuse to release players for Asian Games, what will Stomach do? How will we field a side without any of our main players? Will India withdraw?
All ISL clubs has told AIFF, no first squad player would be released outside FIFA windows, be it for Asian Games or AFC Asian Cup or any other tournaments unless there is a gap in ISL. AIFF will have to create a third string squad with a new coach for Asian Games or withdraw. Sports Ministry was absolutely right in not giving clearance for men's team, they knew AIFF is totally mismanaged. Chaubey put political pressure and staked too much, he thought FSDL will back him and clubs will back him. He didnt bother to consult clubs and FSDL for the Asian Games stunt. He thought he has pulled off an achievement, this will be his downfall.
Additionally, Kalyan Chaubey's wife is an executive committee member of Mohun Bagan club, there is clear conflict of interest. Chaubey is turning to be as corrupt as Patel if not more. Hope he is removed soon.
Vikram Partap and Rahul KP are prime examples of social media influence
Absolutely. Their hair cut pisses me off. Even IM Vijayan had said indirectly about Rahul KP that today's young players are interested in getting their hair color. Didier Deschamps made a good decision of making Mbappe aged 24 over Griezmann 32 for France NT captain. No one would have given a fuck to a pink colored hair guy.
Hero Motocorp exits sponsorship deal with AIFF and FSDL after finding out zero progress in indian football after 10 years of sponsorship, Hero Motocorp chairman said "we are losing 50 Cr every year in sponsorship where there is zero progress, we have taken this decision after reading scientific reports on indian inferior genetics and how indian body is not built for football, I had high hopes for football in India but after 10 years and losing 260 Cr I found out Indian football is complete joke"
There is lot of noise regarding Asian games participation. However blame here goes with AIFF. They need to prepare National Team calendar in advance and notify all the clubs.
Whoever is in charge of these thing at AIFF has not thought about approval process from IOC nor did they bother to prepare the team earlier for competitions. Look at teams like Iran, Iraq or UAE irrespective of competitions they always prepare age groups teams with friendlies and keep them ready.
