It may not be the best club in Asia, but it is one of the best Indian clubs in Asia...It was ranked 74th according to AFC club rankings in 2015, the only Asian side to feature in the top 100 (http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/136/india/2015/09/12/15272872/east-bengal-climb-to-74th-in-afc-club-rankings)...more importantly, its supporters are realistic enough to admit that the club is going through a lean phase, and has been outshone by the likes of BFC and MB in recent years I know all these are rumors, but what I remember of Moghrabi, he was a pretty decent player...of course, he is now 31 and does not have age on his side, but I still think he would be a handful for many of the I-League defenders
What is ridiculous is had any Indian coach indulged in the same nonsense related to selection of overseas players, the Kolkata Club officials would have kicked out the coach; however, since he is a foreign coach all his antics are either defenced/ignored or he goes scot free!

Not the kind of comment you expect from a title contender club's coach. EB has messed up foreigner selection this time
