Kolkata: The Kolkata Giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan will have another round of meeting with The IFA on Saturday at the Netaji Indoor Stadium to decide their next step in the ISL controversy. Mohun Bagan General Secretary Anjan Mitra told www.xtratime.in , “We will sit with East Bengal and IFA on Saturday to plan our next step. Lets see what comes out from the meeting.”
Continuing its tirade against the ISL organisers, the Indian Football Association has shot off a letter to AIFF seeking another round of meeting with Mohun Bagan and East Bengal before the stakeholders meet with the AFC at Kuala Lumpur on 7 June.
“I’ve sent the letter and waiting for a response,” IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli said as they have sought to know the roadmap of Indian football as promised to them by the AIFF in an earlier meeting.
This was an outcome of a joint decision by Mohun Bagan and East Bengal officials who joined hands in their tirade against the Football Sports Development Limited and threatened to disrupt the ISL if their demands of franchise fee waiver and money from central pool were not met.
It is understood that both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan will boycott the AFC meeting if the AIFF president turns down the proposal for another meeting.
