I think Dempo asking for transfer fees is ok if they are still having valid contract for 2015-16 with these players. But Dempo should extract the Transfer fees from Aurter Papus & TJM who jointly got them relegated. Some may say TJM had very little time but who forced him to take up the job ? Same with Eelco who blamed everybody (players, officials, lack of time etc.) except himself. Bottomline is both Morgan & Eelco jumped for some easy bucks and strangely they have not been made accountable. Some us us are nodding our heads in approval that yes they got very little time, but these super coaches came fully knowing everything. I wonder whether we would have been that tolerant with any Desi Coach.
But asking for 10 to 15laks on a player who's contract value is no more than 30Laks...and that to for 5 months...mas they are only available after ISL is about rich...
Why wouldn't you just wait till January and test their mettle then ?
With Dempo asking for transfer fees, I doubt whether there will be a lot of takers for these 3 players, especially Kolkata Big 2 because of shortage of fund. Thus waiting till ISL is over is a fair gamble..... even if it means some other club may lure them away. Still I think it is a calculative risk and worth taking. This is in a way intelligent move by Dempo to keep their players with them and try to regain their place in I-League proper. Fair call... let those who got them relegated bring them back to Elite group but I think it applies to those players with whom they have a contract for 2015-16 and others can go else where without any problem.

Valid point indeed.
