I dont know wat d players wer told. Wat u have heard might b stories cooked up by fans/players. If they are not good enough they may watch TV or visit IFN or if have sense, play in another 2nd div team. They haven't bought Baichung a life. They played, they were paid.

<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">See if the players break contract then they are unlikely to be paid..so essentially some players will have given service without being paid (service in first XI not bench)</font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">As for What I have against them, consider this -</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">1) My fav Indian footballer I have seen playing - bhaichung bhutia</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">2) How I see Indian football spread - Non uniformly in India. Fully dominated by North east states and then the other football centres</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">3) How I reacted when Bhutia announced his club - over joyed, wanna see them in i league</div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">4) Who I wanted to qualify in 2nd div this year - (In order of preference) USFC, Royals, Aizawl, MMD (last preference!!!)</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">5) Which region, i feel has maximum fan potential - mizoram, manipur, sikkim - more than kolkata as no competition with cricket</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Then wtf u think I will be so vocal against USFC if I dont have a good reason? Nothing is worse than unfairness.. USFC is unprofessionalism at its best..they will do all naach gaana, facebooking, media, glamour - And yes they will get money and make a good team...but what they did here, is not acceptable for someone who follows Indian football and I am ashamed that I supported them... </font></div> X(
Man if any of the allegations are true... then it is shameful indeed. But with so much smoke around there has to be a fire somewhere. Look even ONGC qualified (even many of us didn't even like them at all), but except one incident with Royals (that with royals fault) ONGC never garnered any controversies, but USFC right from the start has been neck deep in it. <div><br></div><div>I am not against USFC, I loved when they. But surely now I have lost faith in USFC. I hope there is no more controversies in I-league next year. </div>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">I to must admit that what happened last season is a bit suspicious. I know it seems like that when I talk about USFC that I think of them as holy angels but trust me... I dont. In fact I still think in terms of non-company clubs Mumbai FC and Pune FC are obviously the more fair teams. They qualified for the I-League away from home and have brought players and done well financially in what we can all say are non-domestic Indian football markets where as SLFC and USFC have gone to I-League by controversial means. BUT you know what, while it is still not good and should NEVER be encouraged you can still in other countries other than India. For example... ITALY. The Serie A title was brought in 2005-06. Teams were bribed and all that. Also like with the 2nd Division where we hear of reffs favoring others that happens in England and America and even Asia. These are worldwide problems in professional football and you should not take them to so much heart that you dont support the team anymore. Specially sense club is not proven guilty.</font>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">But in Italy, top clubs were demoted..that was commendable...and this things are nothing...</font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">haven't anyone ever thought why some shitty players are always selected in Indian team? We always say Savio is fool etc etc. But if people here can select better team then why not football admin ppl? Selection in India is always based on half talented players and half networking..even that happens in cricket, much less coz lots of money involved...but football it doesnt matter.. I was much better off being a casual fan before but the more u know admin guys, the players, etc u get shivers....</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">coming back to USFC - No one ever thought the following -</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">1) USFC won almost everything in Siliguri, then came the club complaints, AIFF was approached (we knew everything here thru mizo). We also saw the letter, AIFF had to intervene. Then maybe things were tight, everyone thought in Sikkim USFC will have it easy. And suddenly in sikkim leg they started losing. and only in last few games they came back. Most goals via penalties.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">2) USFC already had the new anthem ready to be unleashed, within minutes after they won. As if they knew its inevitable. Confidence!</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">In Indian football how many actually prove guilty? </font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Dempo 14-0 Air India - and then HAL won against Dempo in next match</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"> nothing proven but....</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">You make great points about this. We should probably send the rest of these to a thread called "Indian Football Corruption" if there is not already. It is weird indeed.</font>

<br><div><br></div><div>and just to cool down the USFC fans..there has been so many corruption charges for MB, EB in past..so chill, I don't overlook that...only for MB I wont say, someone else has to do that :P</div><div><br></div><div>All this things are normal in our football, I just want ppl to know atleast that USFC has been no different than most clubs we love to criticise...and yes I absolutely have no complains for the thousands of Sikkim fans who are happy...But I will anyday give kudos to Lajong (although they stupidly got relegated, and not doing too well now) for promoting local players and utilising the resources they have (the Tuboi incident of course is a blot in their reputation) and pune fc (for doing everything right..). Although probably in future USFC might climb greater heights</div>
