Here's an idea . ATKs youth system and youth teams are a joke.USC got one the best youth setups in the country.ATK got the money ,USC is struggling AFAIK. So why don't they takeover USC ?
ATK is a franchise there aim is to win trophy's so it brings fame to the owners, there aim is not to develop football, if they had any intrust in youth football they would had made a B team to filed in 2nd division, which they didn't do along with MCFC. 2ndly Nabab da will never sell his United SC to ATK or any other team, sponsors are welcomed.
Honestly I remember everyone in this forum including gaffertape say about UFC another team Patchukala ( whatever they're called) field overage players in IFA shield suddenly they become hub of Youth development
I even remember many clubs complaining about that publicly
Overage or not, United SC have a genuine youth program. Most of the young players of the Big Two (we may say the Maidan) as well as the core of the Bengal Santosh Trophy team comes from their factory.
Allowing ATK to take over United SC would be the gravest harm done to this flow, as the useless but arrogant CESC Officials would destroy the spirit of the club in no time, like they did to their own club this season.
United's problems are their inability to rope in a sponsor, and friction with IFA (or more specifically, with Utpal Ganguli). I think if they are allowed to play regularly in CFL, they would get a sponsor.
How many players are still left with Minerva FC ? So many went to East Bengal and I think that chencho, Kiran will also follow the suit to Calcutta. Minerva needs to play ACL Qualifiers and AFC Cup next season.
