    Seems to be another clueless club, right from the name, location, player selection to now the jersey. Add to that the selection of league (I-league over ISL).

    Why do they come ... only to be faded away in three seasons ...

    Spot on. Bengaluru FC and Bharat FC, according to some people, are being ran by the same guys who did Bengaluru FC but so far Bengaluru FC have been so, so much better in how they launched than Bharat FC have been. Bengaluru FC came into the I-League with flair and excitement but Bharat FC seem bland and boring.

    Not by the same guys. Only Mandar Tamhane gave them some free consultancy out of friendship with the owners.

    I thought @gaffertape said that the same guys from Bengaluru FC would work with Bharat FC?

    Hope they do not turn out damp squib like Mumbai Tigers. Atleast Mumbai Tigers agreed to play in 2nd Division. The coach, players of Bharat FC look like they are easily disposable.
    After few months, Times of India will make an article that I-League should be scrapped because journalist went to a stadium where India's premier club Bharat FC was playing and no spectator was there.

    Bharat FC's announcement is not bland and boring. Problem is that they selected the wrong city and that causes upset for majority of the part. Would have been great if the club was formed in Delhi. Take the Ambedkar stadium from DDA on long term lease, renovate it to top standards and bang! There you go. Its close to old delhi. Practically, in the centre of the Delhi and proper marketing would guarantee visitors. Or even better option would be Punjab. 
    NE can also get a club. But, problem is connectivity and infra.

    Agree about Delhi. Imphal for nextNE team for me.

    What is their offer for a Corporate Slot? Earlier they used to say that Corporate club is Building Stadium, or hosting/sponsoring AIFF Academies or Corporate is opening a Club in an unrepresented area. Bharat FC is not doing any of these things.
    what has Bharat FC brought to the table? such weak team is immune from relegation?
