Profool does have 1/100th interest of the Chinese. Here is the proof. See, they have 500 academies. Now, 500/ 100 = 5. He had opened 5 academies in India. So the interest is there.
But unlike the Chinese, he did not have the finances to run them. So he shut them. For finances, he sold AIFF to Nita. Now Nita is not much into academy-sacademy. She wanted to give birth (of a footballing nation, of course). Thus, ISL.
Everytime when Indian NT or any Club team is drubbed in the International circuit or should I say in the Asian Circuit all GENUINE FOOTBALL LOVERS cry out univocally. These poor guys (me included of course).....what they actually want ? They just want to see their beloved Nation perform decently. Leave aside Cricket....we used to be nothing in ladies Badminton, Tennis, Wrestling, Boxing to name a few sports. But over last 10-12 years we are regularly wiining in Big World Events or performing pretty well. Of course there has been some exceptional talents but surely theose talents were taken care off & encouraged by the respective sports bodies, otherwise they would not have gone far. In Football it is not that we don't have talent.....at least to compete in Asian circuit but what about caring & encouraging talents ? Can AIFF say that they care for Indian Football ? Some recent example of their honest effotrs: 1) The dates for WC Qualifiers were announced long back but the Coach sat in his home (when I-League was on) & depended on his Assistants to take a feed back while selecting the probables. 2) AIFF could do nothing when some players were not released for WC Qualifiers by some teams while were busy in an unofficial football tournament as AIFF's ears are pulled by the Organisers of that tournament. 3) AIFF makes a rule of U-22 players in I-League & then they break it for 3 rounds so that they can form a team for a FIFA unrecognized tournament. 4) Mohun Bagan's request for postponing Shivajian match so that they could reach the venue for their ACL match a few days earlier was rejected. 5) But by what logic Mohun Bagan v SLFC match is postponed ? They reached ACL venue less than 48 hours before kick off, here they reached Kolkata more than 48 hours before the kick off. Surely Mohun Bagan players could have played because they are not considered as humans by those Rascals sitting in AC offices of AIFF.
All nonsense is done just to ensure smooth running of one particular tournament which is not even recognised by FIFA or AFC. Under these polluted atmosphere, if National team or a top Club team gets thrashed by quality opponent we should not cry. We should only feel sorry for ouselves that we love Football but are born in a Country where Football is run by some Rascals & Thugs.
Interesting how the same Fed act with such different levels of enthusiasm in two similar cases. They swallow Dattaraj Salgaocar's derogatory comments, and jump with punishment to Sen for the same. No reactions even after months in one case, and instant decision in the other.
I am not a believer of fixing the whole game but certainly this type of foreplay ( abuse- attack - arrest - bail- media attention ) can be scripted very easily.
The inaction on the ISL incident is because when it comes to ISL, AIFF is just a rubber stamp and the authority lies among IMG-Reliance. How can federation take on the syndicate that feds them. IMG-Rel would shred AIFF into pieces if they take any action without the consent of IMG-Rel. That however is not the case with I league.

We are in the right track. Our own path.
