There is no question that the BCCI has a very good case against both these franchises of gol maal, with the silent transfer of ownership without notification, all under Lalit Modi, when the rest of IPL was essentially shut off by his majesty. But I do question the way the BCCI is going about this. Alienating current owners like Mallya, taking away an important market like the Kings XI, seems like is not the way to run a successful league. They must try other options like fining them, asking them to restate ownership, etc instead of outright canceling teams. And achilles, this has nothing to do with N. Srinivasan your pet whipping boy. The supreme court ruling in his case was just a recommendation not an order, so he is free to abide by or ignore it. It is just a recommendation for obvious reasons, the court felt it wasn't a big deal. His involvement with the CSK franchise was done with the approval of the BCCI and IPL and no laws or rules were broken no matter how hard you try to prove otherwise.

Only in BCCI can you have one rule for someone and another rule for another person. I think there is nothing to debate about here for I am right and you are for once on the wrong side :P

Questions galore following IPL decisions Tariq Engineer October 10, 2010 The BCCI's decision to terminate Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, two of the original IPL teams, and put the new Kochi franchise on notice, has raised plenty of questions about the timing and execution of the decision, and its effects on the league in the immediate and longer terms. The Finances The teams' financial and growth projections were made on the basis of a 10-team, 94-match tournament from the fourth year onwards. The BCCI then came up with a new format reducing the number of matches to 74, which the franchises were not happy about. Now the number of matches will be reduced even further, which means the teams will generate lesser revenue from sponsorships, ticket sales and merchandise sales. What happens to their revenue models as a result? The broadcast rights deal signed with Sony requires the broadcaster to pay a higher amount to the BCCI starting in the fourth year, but was predicated on there being 10 teams as well. Will there be another renegotiation of that contract? The format What happens to the carefully constructed format the IPL governing council came up with that split the teams into two groups of five? The league could go back to being just eight teams in 2011, but what happens if Kochi goes the same way of the two terminated teams? Admittedly, that is unlikely, as the board has already given Kochi a second chance to get its act together. And if Kochi fails to come together, the board could conceivably have another suitor waiting in the wings. Lalit Modi's plan for the league was clear. Eight teams for the first three years, ten teams thereafter. Will the board choose to hold fresh team auctions to replace the expelled teams, or will it stick with eight? The management strategy Why did the board choose not to send the show-cause notices that would have given the two teams 15 days to respond to the accusations, something it decided to do at its annual general meeting on September 29? Why did it decide to give Kochi another a chance to get organised, but not the other two teams? Why has the BCCI acted against the two today when these infringements have existed for at least a year and a half? The sale of part of the Rajasthan Royals team to Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty in February, 2009, was a very public deal, and Shetty has been a regular presence at the team's matches. The franchises The expulsion of two IPL teams fundamentally alters Lalit Modi's plan for the league, which was the basis on which the original teams signed up for the IPL. How will they react to the expulsion? Will they decide they need to come together and present a united front to the board?

Both rajasthan royals and punjab are least supported ipl teams soo i dont think ipl popularity will be effected by this.
haha, u know that you cannot judge the popularity by people who support them on the internet. The world is much bigger. In the end, it is a big loss, the huge support of RR and Kings Punjab will surely now want to curse IPL and not interested in it at all.

The thing is that this could have been sorted amicably. But guess our guys don't know how to do that. BCCI should have been proactive few months back. If two teams are disqualified, they need two new teams. There ware other teams who did bid, if they had done this few montsh back, would have made it easier for everyone.

I read on some news channels that BCCI is beejeee threatening franchises :hmmmm:

A major question is why a second chance to Koch despite giving them a long time to resolve the problemi? And why the sudden decision for the 2 franchaises despite not giving them any time nor chance.
Kochi is non-Modi, bubaaa.

My theory about ED (Enforcement Directorate) forcing the BCCI seems to be correct. Read it elsewhere also. Looks like the spat with Tharoor is costing Modi and those involved with Modi big time. Another example to show why you keep your distance from the ultimate Goondas in India, our politicians. Apparently, the BCCI had no choice but to shutdown those two franchises or else ED would have taken action themselves.

Indian Cricket unleashes another administrational howler! It’s common knowledge in cricketing circles that world cricket is, unfortunately, controlled by the Asian nations, in particular India and Pakistan. It’s also common knowledge that the two most controversial and historically corrupt cricketing nations are in fact India and Pakistan. Decades of hatred between the two countries, decades of violence from their over-passionate and over-expectant fans, decades of match-fixing scandals and of course, decades of greed, favouritism and corruption from the crooked administrators. If cricket spirals down hill in the future, there’ll be no doubt as to who’s to blame. The latest saga to hit the continually dysfunctional Indian cricket is the expulsion of two franchises from the Indian Premier League (IPL), the world’s most watched annual cricket tournament. The Rajasthan Royals, inaugural champions in 2008 and the Kings XI Punjab, twice semi-finalists, have had their contracts terminated due to a variety of reasons, in particular relating to charges of transgression of shareholding and ownership norms that apparently threatened to, “shake the very foundation of the tender process.†What a load of garbage. In a league where the average match fee of each player is second only to that of the NBA, surely disputes of this nature can be worked out through a series of negotiations. There is simply too much at stake. Firstly, spare a thought for the players, many of which are currently still contracted to the franchises. What shall become of them? Will they be awarded their payments, as expected? Consideration must be given to their families and livelihood which are dependent on this income… This is after all their job! Of the more famous players at Rajasthan, stars of the game such as Shane Watson, Graeme Smith, Shane Warne and Shaun Tait will no longer have a team to play for, whilst stars at Punjab such as Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Yuvraj Singh and Brett Lee will also be out of work. Secondly, spare a thought for the millions of fans of each franchise all around the world. Personally, after admiring Shane Warne’s captaincy skills in the 2008 series, I began supporting the Royals, I have even purchased a Rajasthan Royals shirt. Who are these fans going to support now? What about the regional areas of Punjab and Rajasthan who generated so much income from these teams? Of course, the IPL administration give their reasons for these decisions, but like every controversial decision that comes out of Asian cricketing nations, it reeks of a cover up. The fundamental reason that this has occurred is because there are two new franchises entering the IPL for the 2011 season, the Pune Warriors and Kochi, and the IPL are aware that an eight team competition works best. This is nothing more than an attempt to capture new fans and freshen up the tournament. Unfortunately, the fallout from this will end up in the courtrooms, like every other decision in Indian and Pakistani cricket and this is sure to upset the millions of Rajasthan and Punjab fans. There’ll be protests, boycotts and rioting in the streets of India, with burning effigies of Shashank Manohar, the BCCI president, being televised to viewers all around the world. Indian cricket has once again acted irrationally and as always, are proving to the world that they have no conscious and are fuelled by greed. They simply have no understanding of the consequences of their actions and the bad exposure they receive. This decision is a farce and the ICC need to step in and take action.
