Thank you @arsenalfan. you are one of the most mature teens, if there is one. Seriously.
Now that you have become more 'accepting' and started valuing history (and related shits), my hope for joint pitching for Kolkata FC goes out of the window ...
Kolkata FC is the greatest idea ever! How dare you go against such an amazing idea! You should be banned from all Indian football websites for the rest of your life!
Okay, so I just want to get this off my chest. Is it possible for someone to literally buy East Bengal or Mohun Bagan from UP Group or from whoever owns them and then fire the whole off-field staff.
Like, say I somehow became a millionare with $500,000,000. Would I be able to buy East Bengal or Mohun Bagan and then get rid of everyone on the Board of Directors like Kalyan Majumdar and Pranab Das Gupta and then revamp the club in the way I want to while also taking control of all their stadiums and expenses?
Its not that easy. They have complicated constitution. UB Group is not absolute owners-they are more like sponsors. See the office bearers- http://www.mohunbaganac.com/about
They are selected thru elections within members. Then there is lot of politics and groups. Its not like a franchise system where you pay some money and make it all your way. if you are member of any association, sports body, you will notice that even though such posts are honorary with no salary, people hang on to such positions as they are powerful posts. Businessman, politicians, bureaucrats hang on to such posts. Plain answer-not possible in such clubs.
