The deal they are being offered by SRK is not acceptable to Mr Dempo at the moment. The valuation that they are doing is too low. Churchill Bros sponsors are giving Rs 27 crore as sponsorship money without any stake. Then how can a club like Dempo offer 50% stake at just 30 crore?<div><br></div><div>But again the star power that SRK brings will automatically propel the clubs fortunes. Srinivas should negotiate for something around 70-80 crores</div>

very true..if SRK brand value is properly harnessed they sky will b d limit..we will definitely see d brand value for Indian football shooting up...i pray he remains committed to giving his time for demo..m very very excited with this.news.

Inquiries have revealed that the Bollywood star did elicit an interest in the ‘property’ at one stage but that’s about it. His team of advisors has not made any progress with regard to the project.</p><p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; ">Recent reports have suggested that after his successful foray into cricket (or IPL to be precise), Shah Rukh has turned attention towards football and is close to picking up stakes in Dempo, the champions of the I-League. But in reality, he is far from the goal post.</p><p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; ">“<b>We do not know how such a thing has surfaced now. It is an old story and we thought it is a closed story,</b>” a key aide of the Bollywood star told <em style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">DNA</em>. According to him, Shah Rukh asked his officials to have a look at the project.<b> After going through the offer, they concluded that the deal was not ‘exciting.’ Promptly, they advised him that <u>it would not be a profit-making venture.</u></b></p><p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; ">The Dempo management held parleys with King Khan, but that was not in the recent past. The last time Shah Rukh spoke to the chairman of the Goan club Srinivas Dempo and other members of the team was a couple of months back. Lately, there have been no development to suggest that Shah Rukh is close to sealing the deal.<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">“We’ve not yet closed the deal,” admitted Dempo. He also conceded that the talks took place about a month-and-a-half back. “We spoke to him some days back. He was quite enthusiastic about Indian football’s development. We’re actually excited about his interest. We’re hoping to close the deal soon,” the Dempo official told this paper.</p><p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; ">However, the<b> Shah Rukh team seems interested in acquiring sports properties</b>. After successfully managing the Kolkata Knight Riders brand, they want to try out anything that is sustainable.<u><b> They had a close look at i1 Super League racing and also held talks with the organisers of World Series Hockey</b></u>. “We’re quite open to new ideas and properties,” said the Shah Rukh aide.</p><p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; "><hr><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_shah-rukh-khan-unlikely-to-play-ball_1696987">http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_shah-rukh-khan-unlikely-to-play-ball_1696987</a>;
