According to this, Rene Meulensteen is being looked at for the Mumbai City job. Former Manchester United coach, also former head coach of Fulham and current director of the Philadelphia Union. He would be a great signing for Mumbai City!
Also, John Arne Riise could come as he is on vacation in the US right now and he knows Rene well. Would be a good marquee signing for Mumbai City... good signing overall if they get Anelka.
Pathetic article written by some IMG Reliance stooge. Criticising I-League. funny thing is that it says only Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore attract crowd. He chose to forget Shillong or Calcutta.
I can only assume he watches matches on TV, sees that the Salt Lake Stadium and Fatorda Stadium look like they have no one in the stadium while Cooperage, Balewadi, and Bengaluru FC do... Shillong? Don't know how you miss that.
Anyway, while this guy is somewhat of an idiot, the overall message is correct... the future is not exactly fruity for the I-League and the clubs.
We might as well withdraw from FIFA and declare AIFF's sole goal to make money for their masters. It will save us the embarrassment of facing top teams in Asia.
The biggest irony of #Indianfootball #HeroILeague Champions get ₹70 Lakh whereas @MumbaiCityFC won ₹1.25 Crores for taking kids to play football on weekend.
