The has been no "news", breaking or otherwise, that EB has withdrawn from ISL. Yes, the club has declined to sign the agreement with the investor, throwing the club's ISL participation into extreme jeopardy but nowhere has there been any confirmation, neither from the club nor FSDL nor any reliable media house that the club has withdrawn from ISL. FSDL would take a call on this matter later this month.
I am not sure why some people become so interested in purveying wrong information time and again: alleging that the I-league is fixed (some seasons back) with AIFF desperate to ensure that EB wins the league so that they can be promoted to ISL the following season, EB won't play in the ISL (last season), EB to shut shop when the club's official twitter account stopped operating some months back.
I 100% agree with @souravindia, @giridharan and others that the club officials and investors have miserably failed the fans and Indian football and it is high time that a new and visionary ownership should take charge of the club.
Still few months are there. something will come up for EB to play in ISL.
more worrying part is that it is only 4 month long season and for 8 months fans are occupied with speculation that which player is joining which franchise or whether so and so club will play in ISL or now.
It should have been opposite .
8 month long League, Cup tournaments, Pre season and 4 months are enough for all such speculating news.
@munna219777: Absolutely, what will happen (as far as I can understand) is that some quick-fix like last year will take place. The EB officials/investors will fall at the feet of the CM or some other big shot and somehow ensure their participation in the ISL; then the coach, players, support staff will be somehow arranged in a jiffy and the result will be the same, or perhaps worse, than the previous season. Meanwhile, a large section of fans (not all) will engage in shadow boxing in social media.
Such an attitude by the officials make me puke. And to think that this was the club that was created by the sweat and toil of lion-hearted people who arrived from another country and suffered untold humiliation here
He wants to keep the national team together for a longer period than a small camp
NT to hold camp in Kolkata from August. Plan is to play 6 friendlies between September and November
such things only happens with Saff countries. Have we seen harry kane and harry maguire together for 1-2 months together for a friendlies. They just join a less than a week before such frinedlies. it is because the league is not planned properly as per FIFA dates such things are happening.
And also despite having long camp and players together, no significant results to boast of.
There will be no return for the Super Cup, knockout competition between the ISL and I-League clubs, as part of a pre-season tournament for the new season
Stimac contract got extended for a year based on the improved performance .
Just how blind is the techinical committee ,even completely blind people can say we played shit just by listening to commenatry . If AIFF wants to make fools of fans , they should atleast put out that presentation by stimac .
No one cares about the presentation. It may be the usual 3-slide presentation. The problem is that the decision of his extension was out way before the technical committee even met or Stimac made his presentation. AIFF is clearly under the control of some external entity.
