This reminds me of the time of saurav ganguly - Greg chappell controversy. Many MPs of Left Front met with Sharad Pawar and Manmohan Singh on that issue.
The fuck is this shit? The guy doesn't know what he is talking about. East Bengal and Mohun Bagan had a chance to join ISL, they didn't send in their applications on time and they are not in it, simple as that.
Now the Ileague clubs are also asking for chairs in the bidding process and demanding bidding to be conducted by some third party. As usual IMG-R is not ready to compete. I think that's fair ask from the clubs.
Whybshould they? The decision by AIFF to enter in a deal with IMG-Reliance was unilateral and they didn't take into confidence the clubs that were bleeding money so that football could stay relevant in the country. They invested their own money in the game when there was no guaranteed return to their investment. These clubs didnt wait for Mukesh Ambani to start a league. If these John Abrahams and Abhishek Bachchans were so passionate about football, why did they not start a football club earlier. And how come we talk about the losses that ISL franchisees are losing but never talk about the money that I-League clubs lost year after year by playing in i-League.
