Payment disputes aside which should be dealt with sharply against AIFF in legal court. If clubs send a legal notice to AIFF then that would be a slap.
however this cup is only for 2 weeks but can catch eyeballs of major sponsers if they manage to perform really well. Isn’t that the weakness of Minerva?
They should play play and Kill some bigger clubs to show they deserve to be backed. But now the lack of unity in Indian football will show easily.
Minerva will be singled out and rest other clubs will be playing even if not interested.
Possibly Super Cup is one of the promises made by AIFF to that "Green Light Dato Windsor" about pathway to Merger and recognition. It is vital for ISL teams too. It should not be scrapped. Better Financial Model is required. The problem is that many teams might play only one match, with bare minimum TV coverage and sponsorship, who will foot the travel and lodging costs ?? Previously Federation Cup used to be better organised then this Mess.
"Last year, the AIFF gave each I-League club a travel subsidy of Rs 45 lakh to play in I-League as well as Federation Cup. This year, the subsidy was increased to Rs 70 lakh. So obviously, there is no question of giving any subsidy to play in the Super Cup as it has already been included in this Rs 70 lakh,"
Ranjit Bajaj is a joke, if he dose not send a team for super cup then his team should thrown out of I league and replaced by a serous team like Mohammedan or promote 2 new teams from 2nd division. Too much of Tamasha by this person, first he fabricated fake fixing allocations on EB and now this.
