    Dempo SC last results 6 results include 2 draws (Ongc & MFC) and 4 losses (AI,SCG, Pune & MB). And they are the defending champs. The results indicate a lot of untold stories.

    i sure hope Dempo clarifies what went wrong with their title defense..or if Heraldo or Gomatak has teh guts to Publish the news..I dont expect NT to do so as they are Dempo owned


     the FB page admin very funnily ppoosts "lost the battle but we will win the war" after the MB loss which to me does not make any sense...


    Colasco insistance to pull on with the Old horses has misfired + this politics has destroyed the team spirit..very very sad for a defending champion

    the matter has been posted here before....
    Armando Colaco & Custodio Almeida had been taking a % of the players salaries for many years.
    They ensured players were given lucrative contracts to prevent them from leaving , but on a condition that a % would be "given back" , no different than an Agent taking his 10%.
    You don't pay up , you don't play....SIMPLE
    The likes of Gawli, Climax, Peter carvalho, Samir Naik etc. have all been good boys and paying their % for many years...

    The young brigade like Godwin Franco, Cresson Antoa etc. questioned why they had to pay or as in some cases didn't pay . Hence they became bench warmers.
    Rohan Ricketts exposed this by revealing the news to owner Srinivas Dempo

    During a recent team meeting , Mr Dempo posed a simple question " if you are getting a salary from the club of X amount , why would you pay a % of that to someone at the club ? " ...i.e it was their stupidity.

    Given that this could have been a major PR disaster in the media, everyone has been hushed , and the solution wil be to have Armando Colaco resign on health reasons at the end of the season.

    A new system is being put in place to sign players in the future and remove the power from any individual.

    The old way worked well, because the players who paid up, where also the best & consistent players....but as age has caught up with them and the young brigade not willing to play ball...the wheels started to come off.

    The younger guys like Joaquim Abranches, Tyson Caido etc. all have a lot of , off field habits that are hampering their game. Both are big time Bull fighting owners !!
    Joaquim even returned to Goa for carnival ( due to a bull fight), when he should've stayed back in Pune to join up with the India camp the next day after their game against Air India before the break.

    A lot of underlying issues at Dempo.... I've only just scratched the surface....

    I dont think anyone could have explained it better. Well summed up in a nutshell. You forgot about betting. Haha.

    I dont want to get into all that. Its all hysterical to say the least. I think gaffertape has given enough points to understand the rot in the system. I must say that gaffer has been brave enough to disclose this stuff.

  • If Gaffer is telling the truth then no wonder Indian Football is not improving (even more) if even the best club in India is not clean.


    Does Armando Colaco not get paid enough money as it is? He is an alright coach but god damn would this kill his reputation. He is truly the Don Revie of Indian football.

    @gaffertape...wow this is really a bombshell...and will be the biggest scandal in indan football.. Thanks for sharing this..im suprised this has not leaked out in the indian media..i for one dont think this will ever come out in goa , it being a very close knit place...Dempo FC has done a polished job of keeping this out of the public perview...

    What a bloddy disaster this is for dempo SC.. the rot has truly run deep..reading comments on  IFN and FB u could see that armando was not longer to continue..but the real reason was not very clear.

    Dammnit..if this has happened at dempo where a % of the salary goes to the coach is truly disgusting, shameful corrupt and despicable..surey this is the worst abuse of  his position as a coach..how could he even have thought this up i dunno..the champion club of india and this shit happening under Mr Dempos very nerve for god knows how many years shows what a stranglehold armando had over the boys..Did success and his authrity goes to his head..did power corrupt him?.

    surely armandos salalry was not so bad?..im finding this hard to digest still.. Now if by betting it means predicting the score or god forbid fixing matches, i really dunno what to say!!! . ..

    worst case maybe Dempo may even disband the team..

  • Very sad. Armando Colaco was coach of India and I never liked his attitude. Always had an air of arrogance. He was given lot of respect by Goa fans-"Sir" Armando and so on. He was arrogant on Caribbean trip by skipping match, not allowing Dempo to play in AFC cup and wanting to have long term contract. I am surprised Mr Dempo was in dark about it as Owners-in this case a big shot industrialist-keep his men everywhere to update him that Kya chal rahaa hai. He was unaware-thats shocking.
    armando colaco should be punished if this news is right!!!!! Such crooked and corrupt person.
