City football giants Mohun Bagan club officials Debashish Dutta and Srinjoy Bose on Monday stepped down from their posts alleging non-cooperation from secretary Anjan Mitra.
The club's assistant secretary Bose and director-cum- finance secretary Dutta put in their papers on Monday afternoon and later called a media conference at the Calcutta Sports Journalists' Club to announce their decision.
"This is not an overnight decision. We have been thinking about it for about four years now. We have not found a solution and the situation has worsened. No one is indispensable," Bose told reporters.
Asked whether the players would suffer due to this and with the Super Cup coming up in a few days' time, Dutta said, "The team is in safe hands with coach Shankarlal Chakraborty.
"We have recently pruned the squad to 25 and they will leave for Bhubaneswar on March 19 for practice. They (Anjan Mitra and his office bearers) have a lot of time left to make a champion squad for next season," he added.
When contacted, Mitra said he is yet to receive anything in writing and therefore cannot react.
"I've not yet got the letter. I can comment only after that. I heard they held a press conference announcing their resignation," Mitra told IANS over phone.
Mohun Bagan finished third in the I-League this season collecting 31 points.
Who do these guys submit their so called resignation letter to? And who reads it? And who decides that these tow are back in the same capacity the very next day! ?
A 4 year old club of India wins 2 I-League, 1 Fed Cup, plays in the finals of AFC and marches into the Finals of India's (now) premier league ISL and almost on the verge of winning the championship in its debut season - while u see the two old clubs(who are now no better than kolkata's famous Ajanta Circus) embroiled in this small petty and irrelevant things!
After 3-4 days, They will join again by saying that, we have discussed the matter and Anjan da personally requested me to not leave the club. And right now all the problems are sorted out but its gonna be my last season in the club. And this scripted drama will continue year after year, just to gain some sympathy form the blind supporters of Bagan.
