I wonder if the same person will now shed light on what transpired, considering he seems to have a front-row seat to all matters involving private conversations. Funny how that works, right? . #jagoGrahakJago!.

But how is this possible? Didn’t a famed propaganda machine of Kolkata, masquerading as a journalist, boldly state that interference at the NT camp had ensured this player wouldn’t sign? 🤔.

As someone responsible for leading one football club, I will now strive to take a stance. Where more of our decisions aim to burst this bubble, however small the impact may be. We can't undo it all in a day, but we will. If more decision-makers step forward, we’ll break it faster.

Do I claim to have all the answers?.I don’t. But do I believe there are enough minds who care to find those answers, TOGETHER?.Yes, I really do.

As football clubs, collectively, we are the biggest investors in day to day Indian football We are expected to build academies, run teams, hire staff, create local ecosystems. Yet when it comes to shaping national football policy—we have no seat at the table.

If we enjoy your confidence, we’ll go out there and do exactly that. Will you back us when we speak to local govts, asking for infra? Will you support our efforts to make it more accessible?.We need that support. Not just when the games are won—but when hard decisions are made.

Fans want their clubs to win. But how many are truly invested in change?.Are you okay if we let go of a player who demands unreasonable money?.Will you trust us to find someone hungrier, more grounded, and committed?.

The media mostly looks the other way too. No hard questions for fear of burning bridges. We need media who push us, challenge us, force introspection. This polite silence is one of the system’s biggest enablers.

Agents are part of the problem. They are draining the ambition out of players to ensure their pockets are well lined. It’s not just about big contracts anymore—it’s about players losing hunger. There’s too much focus on earning, too little on evolving.

It’s not that they don’t have potential—it’s that they’ve had little reason to stretch it. We’ve handed comfort to players, and with it, taken away their edge.

Clubs—mine included—have inflated player salaries irresponsibly. We are outbidding each other for perception, knowing fully well it’s unsustainable. Then we act shocked when these players fall flat on the international stage. WE built that illusion.

We lost the match versus Hong Kong yesterday and there’s outrage—players, coach, federation, clubs are all facing the ire. But the truth is: blame isn’t isolated. It belongs to all of us. And yes, that includes me.

The system is rotten in ways we refuse to admit. Everything moves on influence, favours, and fragile egos. We don't have the maturity to manage the ecosystem we claim to be building. We turn on each other faster than we face uncomfortable truths.

A Humble Submission: .I’ve always stopped short of airing my frustrations publicly because it’s the convenient and safer thing to do. But silence makes me part of the problem. So today, I’m choosing to voice it. Not from a place of anger but of accountability.

Shameful approach to treatment of customers from @fly91_IN. Left multiple people stranded today in Hyd and then local on ground staff provided zero approachability, zero solutions and failed to appear for 30 mins AFTER the flight was cancelled.

Y’day marked an end to our league stage which began in difficult circumstances and yet. no panic and went about turning the results 1 game at a time. Immensely proud of our season so far and to see this group of people go about it has been a privilege and a matter of pride.

Congratulations to @mohunbagansg on the Shield Win. They were the most efficient team throughout the season and deservedly won the title!.

One Step at a time… 💪🏽.
