There is going to be Hotel Quarantine. New variant Omnicron has further complicated international travel in case clubs are waiting for foreign footballers.
Issue is I-League makes no money neither does ISL. People field teams because they are passionate or want some tax exemptions.
Clubs inflated the market for themselves overpaying players.
Ccfc always had issues i remember they didn't pay salaries in 1st season for months and initially wanted to pay players 20k-30k per month as per @gaffertape
Not surprising the money has run out. Kinda shameful for AIFF former champs are pulling out but doubt they dare
What happened to all the money which Swiss club Basel FC poured into it ? Owner Rohith Ramesh invested in Futsal League. Also all these talks about merger of Chennaiyin and Chennai City.
At the end, club shut down
Sad news because this club gave a platform to local Tamil Nadu players.
The AIFF Club Licensing Committee has taken strong exception to
Chennai City FC (the “Club”) for failing to comply with most of the
mandatory AIFF Club Licensing Regulations for the forthcoming Hero
I-League 2021-22 despite giving additional opportunity after assurances
from the Club including a detailed conference call
With the Hero I-League scheduled to kick-off later this month, the
Committee wasn’t in any position to give any more opportunities to the
Club, and henceforth, has unanimously decided to not grant the Exemption
sought by the Club, after having failed to receive the ICLS Premier 2
Licence of 2021-22 season. As a result of not receiving the Licence or
the Exemption, the Club is thus barred from participating in the Hero
I-League 2021-22. The club is also serving a FIFA transfer ban which
doesn’t allow them to sign players.
In accordance with the powers vested, the AIFF League Committee
proposed the name of Kenkre FC as a replacement for Chennai City FC in
the Hero I-League 2021-22. This decision has been ratified by the AIFF
Emergency Committee. Kenkre FC, who had finished second in the Hero
I-League Qualifiers (in October 2021 in Bengaluru), will be playing in
the Hero I-League 2021-22.
The Hero I-League will kick-off as slated, in Kolkata from December
26, 2021, and the fixtures will be officially announced soon.
Chennai City FC is also the culprit along with Chennai Football association and TNFA. They have done no preparation in last 6 months. Twitter of Rohit Ramesh and CCFC club has updates on Arsenal club and India performance in Olympics - but nothing about their own club in last 6 months,
In past there used to be Madras Football Asociation and many clubs, PSU teams.
Their two successors Chennai Football Association and Tamil Nadu Football association are at loggerheads with each other that who is the Boss. Court cases there against each other. Once TNFA placed a lock on the door and cut electricity connection of Chennai Football Association office.
In this fight, local football and players have suffered.
