What options did Ranjit have? His club doesn't yet have enough fan base who can develop a kind of "social basrrier" to ensure turf maintenance/ he probably also doesn't hv the deep pockets to take stadium on long lease (probably like jsw)....what options are left? He will be ridiculed when he hosts ileague next not the govt
The DSK Shivajians saw their players refuse to take part in training ahead of a friendly against FC Pune City, with senior players leading agitation..
Fire in the hole! The turmoil at Pune-based I-League club DSK Shivajians has exacerbated towards a melting point.
Goal can reveal that the entire training campus was on lockdown yesterday, 27th March, after first-team players refused to participate in a training session, conducted by coach Dave Rogers and the technical staff.
It has been revealed the players had taken up a united front after informing the upper echleons of the management, though a letter signed by all of them, that they wouldn't be taking to the turf in Loni, owing to non-payment of dues. It is also believed two senior players from the squad had corralled the players together and convinced them of the white motives behind the agitation.
A practice that was to be played between FC Pune City juniour team and the I-League side has since been cancelled as well.
As documented by Goal earlier, the Reds form Pune were in the thrall of massive financial pitfalls. Not ony had important support staff from the Liverpool partnered academy been dismissed, but dearth of arrears handed out to the coaching staff, the players and even the support staff since the beginning of the league in January.
In this regard, the players had been unnerved and sought an immediate clearance of dues. It is believed that Shirish Kulkarni, the patron-in-chief of the club along with the club's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Neel Shah and Rogers debriefed the players on the situation to dismantle tension, in a closed doors meeting. This is believed to have happened just 20 days ago.
In fact, so dire was the situation that it is believed the academy staff actually resorted to going on strike for their salaries. Rogers himself preferred not to comment on the issue of reimbursements, when quizzed, opting not to clearly deny the matter.
As widely reported in the Pune press, the D S Kulkarni conglomerate is allegedly believed to be in throes of financial instability. Recently, a video that did the rounds of social media revealed the Kulkarni himself berating and scolding staff for passing cheques to debtors which weren’t going to be accepted.
It seems now however, that the players have taken matters into their own hands, and it remains to be seen how well, the Shivajains' management now handle the matter.
I-league teams are not the only teams not paying players their due, Even the Filthy rich Casino owned FC Goa are yet to pay certain players what is long over due to them.Have the casinos run into financial troubles?
