Mohun Bagan fans burst into anger infront of the club premises

“Love Mohun Bagan…Hate Officials” This is the phrase Mohun Bagan fans are using quite frequently nowadays And why shouldn’t they? For the second time in two weeks, Mohun Bagan fans could not digest the happenings taking place with their favourite club. After Mohun Bagan returned from the group league of the 34^th Federation Cup, a bunch of Mohun Bagan fans showed their anger by wearing black t-shirts and showing placards. But yesterday, things went horribly wrong for Mohun Bagan as police came there to restrict the protest.

Since the Federation Cup exit, fans were quite irritated over the club officials. They have also raised questions against coach Santosh Kashyap. But yesterday, around 100 fans burst into anger after seeing their club’s poor run in the I-League as well. Some of them also raised their voice against the officials by chanting “Go Back”. They claimed that when Mohun Bagan has changed their coach many times in the recent years, then why there will not be any change in the club officials. Coach Santosh Kashyap was also in their target as they demanded Subrata Bhattacharya as Mohun Bagan’s coach. One of the protester told, “We need Bablu da (Subrata Bhattachatya’s pet name) as our coach…we want an answer from the secretary as to why they did not select Bablu da as the coach…”.

Meanwhile Subrata Bhattacharya was Mohun Bagan’s coach in the last season. But before the start of this season, officials and Subrata Bhattacharya got into a duel. As a result, Bhattacharya gave his resignation letter. Rumour spread that one of the player from Mohun Bagan even called Subrata Bhattacharya after the loss against Shillong Lajong and said to him, “Coach! Enough is enough. Please come to our practice.”

Now, Mohun Bagan fans have also suggested the name of Moroccan Karim Bencharifa as the coach. Karim also has the experience of coaching Mohun Bagan. Now, it’s time to sit back and watch what the officials will do in response.
