ATKMB should allow players who are not getting enough chances to other clubs on loan/permanent deal. But they are blocking the player's transfers and not allowing them to play. Its a very bad habit.
East Bengal waiting for the nod from an ISL winner coach. If they fails to rope in him in next 4 days they will go for option 2 who is also a ISL winner but is employed at europe.

Siveiro verbally agreed. Signing to be done soon. Advanced talks with Ishan Panditia and Mandar Rao Desai. Mandar is expected to sign within next 2 weeks.
In ISL apart from East Bengal and Mohin Bagan there are no heritage clubs. Mumbai City FC and Odisha are financially strong due to good investors and government support. But apart from these other clubs are making losses worthing crores of rupees. ISL cant survive without Bengal
Not only 2 mails there has been more than 10 mails sent from Anwar's side to MBSG to make the loan move permanent. But they turned a deaf year to his requests
EBFC currently negotiating with Carles Cuadrat as a 2nd option. He is demanding less amount than Lobera. But the main problem is he also has offers from European clubs.
I am not impressed with the dealing of Pritam Kotal and Samad. Samad is a new talent while Pritam has already past his prime. Also, both play at different positions. Its a win-win situation for Mohun Bagan
As Josep Gombau is 90% confirmed as EB's coach, let me share my thoughts on him. First of all, his preferred 4-3-3 formation is suitable for EB as they already have many talented wingers. Secondly, he has done brilliant work with a young team like Odisha.
Anwar Ali sent a mail few weeks earlier with a desire to mutually terminate his contract and return back to Delhi FC. He and East Bengal will use that in player status committee
Vukamanovic could have stayed on the pitch to make a fightback and give a strong response to the referee. But he became emotional and took such a bold decision. Let us see what AIFF decides on it
The Asian player at East Bengal may be the most high-profile foreigner for them if the 1st choice player signs for them. 2 very good CVs are considered. Both played regularly in A-League.
Oscar has requested EB management for 2 foreigner replacement along with few indian reinforcements. Also he wants to bring in 2 support staffs along with him
Two ISL clubs interested in the Spanish tactician Francesc Bonet from GKFC. In 2 seasons, he has achieved good results with and atractive football and being the team with less goals conceded and most cleansheets in both seasons. He was the man who groomed Bhaskar and Nikum
Sunil Chettri is not guilty here. Also, the match commissioner made the right decision as per law. Ivan should have stayed on the pitch and protested in some other way. Poor referring shows the necessity of Kalyan Choubey's decision to create an elite referring panel.
Constantine recommended a list of Indians to the management for next season. Also as per my sources he is quite pleased with practice performance of Jake Jervis.
Main takeaways from today's board meeting
1. Emami to increase budget
2. Stephen to discontinue
3. More involvement of club officials
4. Sending a letter to FSDL for restarting draft
Kalyan Chaubey is doing a remarkable job at AIFF. He is already successful in roping in a sponsor of Indigo's statute. Also, due to his effort, the Indian football team is currently playing in the Asian Games. He is the man who can take Indian football to the next level.
Emami will increase their team building budget by 15-20% from next season. Separate funds will be allocated for transfer fees. But instead of giving the team building responsibility to club officials like this season, they should do it by themselves. Kingfisher model is obsolate
Diamantakos close to sign a 2 year deal with East Bengal. Highest paid player this season. Total amount to be spent on him including all is nearly 4 cr.
Emami is considering the CVs of many coaches. Josep Gombau is just one of them. Other names are also quite attractive. More inclination toward ISL-experienced coaches.
AIFF can restart Indian Arrows project but the team should be in ISL not in I League. Indian arrows should play in the top division. Then only we will get quality players
