After Liverpool, Spurs, Leicester & Man City....who next ? Goenka babu is still abroad searching a murga ? Goenka babu's team can't have pre-season in Spain this year, so where they are headed to ? Also practice ground ? Will have to book hotels for 6 months as players' accommodation. Thus problems galore for Goenka babu. He wanted to create problems for some but now find himself in soup.
with the stiff competition ATK expected to get from EB and MB due to their huge fan base, ATK needs a big name to attract people (as much as they can) to the stadium.
I am longing to see a Mohun Bagan v ATK & a EB v ATK match at YBK....this may not happen this year but surely in a couple of years. Then the argument of fan base of Mohun Bagan & EB as compared to ATK will finally be put to rest.
"East Bengal Football Club tied-up with European Giants Real Madrid"
This is from a site humorously called "Eastbengal the real power"
Tie ups have always been there in Indian football before ISL as well.
It's just that it has to be mutually beneficial which has not happened till date.
Tie ups are fine, but when such tie ups cease to exist....& your original identity becomes a joke then it is a problem. McDowell Mohun Bagan or Kingfisher EB is absolutely ok.....these can become XXXX Mohun Bagan or XXXX EB but now Atletico de Kolkata will appear funny if they tie up with Barcelona or Chelsea or Bayern or Juventus. Thankfully they will never tie up with a franchise with such a name.
Those clubs having Atletico in their name are from Spanish speaking countries.Atletico is a Spanish word, so no harm in having it but funny for a club from Kolkata
