As predicted , here we go.... Got to love his optimism .. FYI in year 1 , everyone said , break even will be in year 3 ....then year 4... John is talking about year 5 for him...but otherwise YEAR 7 !!
"When we got in the ISL, we knew that there is a six-or-seven year period that we would break even," began Abraham in earnest, when quizzed about his role as the only owner, in the franchise which doesn't have corporate backing.
The Kochi-born actor continued, "We thought the seventh year is going to be the mark where we break even and we start making some money from thereon. However, I say this with a lot of confidence - I think we are going to reach that mark in the fifth season. At least I will reach that mark in the fifth season."
'If you see my passion - I love football. I eat, breath, sleep football.' BTW, he has seven films lined up this year ( acted in three and to act in four-according to Wikipedia), his largest since 2005. Conflict of interest/passion?
If India NT fails to pass this Laos hurdle, they will feature in Round 2 of the playoffs on September 6th and 11th October. Add Bengaluru FC commitments atleast on September 13/14 and 20/21 and even further SemiFinals on Sep 28th and October 19th. Then hoping that India NT will clear playoffs and feature in Round 3 of AFC Asia Cup, most probably matches will start in November. There is going to be considerable distraction for India National squad players from ISL Management.
