So, what is the opinion here? Hopefully the name just remains East Bengal FC in the ISL... also hope Mohun Bagan remain Mohun Bagan and not something stupid like "Atletico de Mohun Bagan AC"
Atletico de Mohun Bagan would be fine as Mohun Bagan AC also means Mohun Bagan Athletic Club. So, I guess both interests can be served by that new name.
That name would not make sense "Atletico de Mohun Bagan Athletic Club" is literally "Athletic Mohun Bagan Athletic Club"
I hope they preserve the historic names here, even when they had Kingfisher and McDowells it was dumb. But no doubt, we will get "East Bengal Knight Riders FC"
Some really good, insightful discussions here but we again forget that this is a transfer thread. @namewtheld: Just my opinion but I think we needed to have a separate transfer thread for the ISL or transfers regarding ISL could have been incorporated in ISL 2016 thread. It is the ISL versus I-League debates which have encroached upon this thread and lead some of us astray on occasions. Of course I understand the logic of keeping all the transfer news in one thread because of their frequently overlapping nature.
