Probably it is just a show of strength before June 7th meeting that who is the boss in calcutta. One thing surprises me. Either interested or not interested. Why did they collect bid document 5 lakh rupees and then did not submit?
Beggers can't be choosers. Typical amateurism by EB + MB by now there self defense mechanism has been activated and are invoking every possible mistake like involving TMC , IFA and now directly taking potshots against PP.
Little they realize that ATK being a franchise can just dismantle and move to other cities willing to bid for ISL.
All this shooting at leg started when they didn't support Goan clubs and were selfish now every I-league club shall wish to have payback on these two self centred club.
Added to that with the threat they won't allow ISL to happen will only mean no ISL in Kolkata and the possibility never to play in the league.
If they keep up this then it's problem solved for IMgR to just get AFC and BFC into the league from I-league. Better if they even get official status of "league" of India with a AFC slot then with BFC playing In ISL it's game over for the two clubs since 2018 season.
If East Bengal and Mohun Bagan don't enter I doubt Aizawl will. IMG-Reliance ideally want the ISL and I-League to coexist for three seasons and hope that after those three seasons, Aizawl is no more on top or mid-table/low-table.
They also would rather go with Gujarat or Jamshedpur than Aizawl.
Whatever happens if a full fledged rebellion is in the offing many would come to the streets including me. AIFF is the sole body responsible for ruining Indian football. Do not underestimate protests in wB if these 2 clubs decide to really go against them
With this kind of rebellion attitude, this two club officials will lead the club for a ban from both iLeague and ISL..After that they will play in Bangal Premiere League along with Mamta Didi 11 , All Bengal TMC 11 etcc.
Can any body provide a clarification ? ISL is conducted by AIFF or IMG-R/FSDL ? AFC logically deals with a tournament or league conducted by the parent body of that country. Now AFC is involved here, does it mean AIFF controls the ISL ? If yes...then how IMG-R/FSDL invites the bids ? Did AIFF indicate officially any time since 2014 that bidding or franchise selection is done on their behalf by IMG-R/FSDL ? We should not mix official status & merger of the two leagues, first AIFF should finalize the composition of teams in a merged league & then ensure that franchise teams gradually fulfils the AFC licensing criteria & then go for the official status. Till such time it will be wise to conduct ISL & I-League separately.
Im not sure on what jurisdiction these two clubs are trying to force entry in a tournament dictating their own terms which is not recognised either as official league of india by AIFF nor recognised by AFC.There is a clear procedure to play in the tornament by submitting the bid and paying the franchise fee.If you dont have money then play in ileague which is still our countries official league.There is no point of crying and nagging and threatening around just get a slot in an unofficial league.This is anything but professionalism that these big two has shown last few days.Imaging some club or franchize doing the same for IPL.
