Welcome to the I-League .....Gokulam FC.....Football passion of Kerala friends is finally recognized. A great addition to the I-League after so many years with reluctant jokers like Pune FC, Bharat FC, DSK etc etc. Expect to see huge crowd in their home games. Once again..... WELCOME.
Binu George will be the coach of Golkulam FC. In George, the club will have one of the top qualified football coaches in India. 40-year-old George was a footballer who played for clubs like Mohammedan and FC Kochin and is the first from Kerala to hold an AFC Professional Coaching Diploma. Gokulam's ascension to the top flight inside a year of their formation has the promise to fast track George's career.
Good for GFC, atleast they have a squad which is playing some competitive football. They need to sign a couple of decent foreigners though unless they want to become the punching bags.
Inasmuch i longed passionately for a team from Kerala, my fear is that Gokulam will fall in the pattern of private club owners moving vigourously in the first years and losing interest thereafter. It starts from their name which clearly shows the promoters' lack of understanding of how a popular club works (I cannot visualize fans yelling "go gokulam!" from the stands).

had they got assistance of social media like now ,that would have mattered
Bharat FC was joke
DSK set up was good but their fan engagement methods were piss poor (earlier )
I just hope I am proved wrong in time.
