It's not yet confirmed how many of the present board members of the club will be associated with the ‘new board’. It is also heard that both the parties will have 50% share (50% with Mohammedan and 50% with Market Cube). This is this is going to be a big deal for the Kolkata based club.

For 10 years now, the US based company, Market Cube has been running their operation in many countries. Plus, the company also have a voluntary organisation called ‘Sports Cube Foundation'. This sports management company will take care of the sporting activities of the club and the ground along with the club officials. Even though they got an investor, Mohammedan Sporting Club is not running after the ISL. They will play the second division I-League and will look forward to get themselves promoted to the main league. The club will also focus on the grassroot development.

From this season itself, Market Cube is going to invest in the club and look forward to develop the football as well as the cricket team of the club. Wasim Akram, Dipendu Biswas, Belal Khan and others took the decision of bringing a new investor because they wanted to make their club a professional one with the corporate touch.
