East Bengal will play ISL, variations with Shree Cement will probably be sorted: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee as soon as once more has come ahead and guaranteed the followers of East Bengal that the membership would play within the Indian Super League regardless of its administration’s ugly tussle with traders Shree Cement Limited (SCL).
Banerjee, who had performed a key function within the tie-up of SCL with East Bengal of their final minute bid to play in ISL final season, took a dig on the membership administration for being adamant in not signing the ultimate settlement.
“Ektu chere khelun, ektu chere khelle ota hoe jabe (Allow some space. It will be alright then,” Mamata mentioned throughout a programme on the Netaji Indoor Stadium right here.
The membership’s participation in India’s high tier league for the upcoming season was put in jeopardy as East Bengal membership government members refused to signal the ultimate settlement with Shree Cement, claiming discrepancy within the preliminary time period sheet.
The preliminary doc was signed by each events within the presence of Banerjee in September 2020, that paved the way in which for a dramatic entry of East Bengal into ISL.
“Last time also I had interfered at the last moment as there was no other way after Mohun Bagan had tied up with ATK. Now also as per my information, they will be able to play in ISL. It’s about being flexible, and allowing some space (to SCL),” Banerjee mentioned.

“I want the Bengal clubs to compete in the ISL, and play a proactive role in the development of Indian football.”
She mentioned the “little differences” will probably be solved and shortly the East Bengal followers could have their smiles again on their faces and the membership will play within the ISL.
“Taking responsibility for five years is also not a joke. The investor has to spend close to Rs 50 crores. Last time we had convinced them to come and invest in the club.”
Banerjee’s assurances got here lower than a month after two teams of East Bengal supporters had clashed within the Maidan. One group had deliberate a protest in opposition to the membership officers and demanded Banerjee’s intervention to finish the logjam.
