From what I could gather from the Akaashvaani guys live chat, all is not well with the Zee Bangla Football League, There were breaks after every 15 mins, there was a song dance extravaganza during each of these intervals; even the 15 mins break was sometimes stretched to 24 mins, thus completely spoiling the spirit of the game--almost a "mini-circus"
Bengal's glammed up version of ISL (the ISL, to be fair enough, does not engage in such ludicrous actions like 15 mins break or songs and dances during the breaks)--more of showbiz rather than football. I doubt anything good would come out of it, would be happy to be proved wrong though
@munna219777: Not too sure about that...not certain who the owners are. However, they have selected certain wannabe serial and film actresses as star ambassadors of the teams. Who knows whether this is a promotion of their TV serials or not?
Quess East Bengal appoint Tathagata Mukherjee as Sports Advisor
Mukherjee was involved with Delhi Dynamos in the Indian Super League for the past two seasons...
Quess East Bengal FC (QEBFC) have made an integral addition to their management by bringing in Tathagata Mukherjee in the capacity of 'Sports Advisor'.
QEBFC is now the controlling body of all football-related activity of East Bengal club after multi-national company Quess Corp acquired a 70 percent stake in the football team in July 2018.
The Kolkata club finished runners-up to Chennai City FC in the 2018-19 I-League. The major investment saw high-profile arrivals with Alejandro Menendez, the former Real Madrid Castilla coach brought in as the manager.
2018 World Cupper Johnny Acosta and former Mexico international Enrique Esqueda were the other big-name signings.
Mukherjee's addition in the second season of the Quess-era gives a major boost to East Bengal fans. He was formerly employed with Indian Super League (ISL) outfit Delhi Dynamos for the last two seasons as their Chief Technical Officer (CTO).
He was also involved with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) in the past and with his deep knowledge of the Indian football spectrum, makes him an invaluable asset to QEBFC.
Mukherjee will joins forces with Sanjit Sen who has been serving as the CEO of QEBFC. With Menendez retained, QEBFC will now be expected to make rapid strides in the transfer window to build a strong team for the 2019-20 season in hopes of landing the title.
