Internet Desk: Famous TV Presenter and football critic Joe Morrison has sparked the controversial question against Indian football icon Bhaichung Bhutia on “conflict of interest”. The Indian football fans had started questioning about Bhaichung regarding various reasons of late. A few former footballers too have been criticizing the recent activities of the former Indian Captain. The tweet from Joe Morrison has just added spice on the burning controversy. The TV presenter stated that Bhaichung is involved with a players’ agency named Football Edge and that has been influencing the selection of the Indian National team as well.
Yesterday, the famous TV presenter and football commentator wrote on twitter, “Nothing wrong with one agency having lots of players in the NT …unless someone involved in that agency is involved with NT #Conflict.” The moment he wrote that on twitter the football fans across India started fuming against the Head of Technical Committee of The All Indian Football Federation, which forced him to reply back immediately against that tweet. Bhaichung wrote, “I don’t own or have anything to do with football edge. Please check your facts.”
In reply to Bhaichung’s tweet, Morrison stormed back to the Indian football icon as he tweeted, “This I have no doubt BB in which case you need to ask them to remove you from their website.”
The tweet put a lot of pressure on Bhaichung as he started going defensive after that reply from the Norwegian presenter. He literally admitted his mistake and tweeted, “Will do. Not aware of that. Thank you. Regards.”

This incident had no doubt raised a few questions about Bhaichung and that forced the football agency to remove Bhaichung’s name from their website.
