" Dasmunshi killing Indian Football " : Pacheco At a press conference for journalists, Fransa club chairman Mr. Micky Pacheco said that he had received AIFF's emergency committee decision at 5:30 pm and had replied to the same within half an hour. Speaking to the journalists he said that he sees no reason why their protest should be rejected. " I run the club without contributions, with my own money and yet there is no respect for the money that I am investing. Dasmunshi has been around for 16 years and he changes the running of the AIFF as and when he wants. When Dr. Vijay Mallya wanted to become the president, the constitution was changed and it became compulsory for a person to be a part of AIFF for 5 years if they wanted to head the AIFF. This Vision India and the World Cup dream will remain a dream only." Pacheco also accused Dasmunshi of being responsible for killing Indian football. " AIFF is concerned about T.V and sponsors and not about Indian Football. All the money that they get from this sources is manipulated by AIFF. That is why FIFA stopped a certain amount of money that the AIFF was supposed to receive." He also added that he was willing to continue in the league provided the verdict is in their favour. " I am only asking for justice and trying to save Indian football as Dasmunshi is killing it. Damunshi wants only certain clubs in the NFL, he is not interested in Indian football."
" If you'll want me to prove that Fransa is good, give me a replay against Mahindra. Mahindra should also write to the AIFF asking for a replay as they are aware that the referee was wrong. I sent a letter to the AIFF the very 2nd day of the match saying that I won't take part in the match on the 3rd Feb. unless a verdict is out. They asked us to appear for the manager's meeting, and we answered in the negative. Despite informing them, they send Air India to the ground for the match. It just goes to show their lack of organization? I request football lovers and the media to please come out in the open." When questioned on his plan of action, he replied, " If no justice is done, I will disband my team. No club in India has an age group structure like Fransa has. We have 200 players registered with us in all the various age groups. I will pay my players though." Soccernetindia.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
