Hope CCFC makes a good competitive side this year, and a better management style. Last year, they did not match their big talks with actions on ground. Which were allowed because that was their first year and they really had very little time to compose themselves. This year, they should not have any excuses.

CCFC did cause a few upsets against big teams. They had little time to arrange themselves-this year they should do even better.

Play-wise they were okay for debutants. Their hosting and marketing were abyssmally poor. Lot of room to improve there. The accent should be on all-round professionalism which was lacking.

Even play-wise, I would like them to make an impact like BFC did on their initial foray.

BFC like foray doesn't happen and cannot be taken as granted.

It was a freak event that happened in Indian football quite like the earlier Mahindra United.

CCFC were decent last season with proper local lads playing with a local coach. Pulled off a few upsets and more than shut a lot of ppl's mouth who were all up that Minerva's back.

Organization I agree has to dramatically improve. But given how big the owners mouth is expected nothing more or less.

What about ravanan? Is he going for draft or ccfc?

Players who don't get club in draft should be paid no more than 10 lakh for the season. I-League Clubs looking to sign draft rejects should bargain hard & let the players give a taste of their own medicine. Or better still not sign them at all

BrainFallINDIA

Thats a nice idea but i think we already know which clubs will jump at the opportunity to sign draft rejects .
