I agree with shubam....mohun bagan fan sites have been quoting a 100% probability of Mb in circus this year. There is something begin the scenes which is not officially said. My guess is that for circus to get AFC slot they need atmeast big2 onboard even if they reject AFC on some kind of technicality. This will make the circus a 12 team affair this year which is ideal IMO , I hope they ensure at least a similar no of quality teams in ileague also
Remember the fan site which is mentioned is not the Official site. There is much more than that meets the eye. We may see a 12 team ISL this year, but I'm worried for the I-League because supply of players comes from I-League 1 & 2. Anyway let us see...
It's not just that they are fan site...they have a close contact with some important people of MB tent.I have talked to the admin.He's not willing to open up,bor did I force him.But he's suggesting me the facts clearly.All these long meetings weren't just to go back to old tune. They will play ISL at any cost, and franchisee fee has been solved.
I think maximum what big 2 will achieve is an installment option for franchise fee. Also all three kolkata clubs will play in siliguri and kolkata both.
Kushal Das & Sunanda Dhar will represent AIFF on 7th. June meeting. Prafool Patel will not. Strangely AFC will still have this meeting where the President of AIFF will so conveniently be missing. Strange...to say the least.....after all Money can do wonders. It is just unacceptable & exposes AFC as well as AIFF. The whole episode is stinking.
Is there any National Top Division League anywhere in the World where teams are chosen on the basis of some "fees" rather than merit ? Yes there may be many private tournaments which are run like this, but a would be Top League where you pay & play...is a bit odd. It is like you don't get admission in IITs or NIITs on merit but pay huge donations to acquire Engineering degree. But the height of Nonsense would be if AFC grants official status to this Donation Tournament.
