Vilander Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just heard NE FC have Shillong L side from I league just like Goa have Dempo, my bet is its between these two and Delhi, although others are good they will not compete atleast in the first edition. We can expect good things from Pune too. But i guess Goa will have the cup, with Dempo, Zico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pune looks good too while Delhi Dynamos has probably been the best team in the practice games. We won't actually know though until the tournament begins and they all play against each other.

TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hrithik set to replace Salman as FC Pune City co-owner According to sources, FC Pune City have concluded talks with Bollywood star, Hrithik Roshan, and an agreement will be signed in Mumbai on Thursday. (AFP Photo) PANAJI: Hrithik Roshan is set to be named as the co-owner of FC Pune City replacing Salman Khan in the next 24 hours. Bollywood star Salman Khan co-owns the Pune franchise in the Indian Super League (ISL) along with Wadhawan Group, which has diverse business interests. Salman, however, has not been able to devote time to the Pune franchise as much as the other Bollywood stars like Abhishek Bachchan (Chennai), John Abraham (Guwahati) and Ranbir Kapoor (Mumbai), prompting Pune to look at other Bollywood options. According to sources, FC Pune City have now concluded talks with another Bollywood star, Hrithik Roshan, and an agreement will be signed in Mumbai on Thursday.

TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I will dance if Pune win ISL, says Hrithik Mumbai: Actor Hrithik Roshan is the latest celebrity to join the star-studded Indian Super League (ISL) line-up after he replaced Salman Khan as the coowner of FC Pune City on Thursday. It is rumoured that Salman backed out of the ISL citing branding issues and the Rajesh Wadhawan Group saw a great opportunity to rope in Hrithik, who is riding high after the success of his latest film Bang Bang. This is Hrithik's first-ever association with a sports league and the actor feels it's his passion for football besides some coaxing from good friend Rajesh that prompted this move. “I believe in sport. I feel sport teaches a lot of things like discipline, team work, character. It takes a lot of courage to go out on the ground and perform. When you talk about football, it is one game that is truly a man's sport, really tough. I am really happy that I got a chance to get associated with the ISL. Whatever I do I always think about my kids and what can empower them in the future and this is one such thing,“ Hrithik told TOI on Thursday. “We need variety on the sporting front and what better than football which is a religion across the world.During my school days, I used to play more football than cricket and I always felt there was a lot of talent and passion ready to be explored but there wasn't a platform like this before. Thanks to Nita Ambani for creating such a league.When this opportunity came my way I grabbed it with both hands. I took it as a responsibility to take football forward. I am confident that ISL will take the nation by storm,“ he explained. His busy schedule prevented Hrithik from following international football and even his short stint with the game at school was cut short due to injury. But having a team in the ISL has revived his interest in the beautiful game. “I was forced to leave football in school due to a knee injury. I also used to have shin splits whenever I played. I have had a hectic schedule of late. I can relax for a while and give quality time to my team. I want to channelize the success of my movie and transfer that energy into the team,“ Hrithik said. The superstar confirmed that he will be present during the opening ceremony on October 12. “We have a great team. We have players like (David) Trezeguet and Kostas (Katsouranis) who have had a great record in Europe. They have been training in Florence under one of the best coaches - (Franco) Colomba. So I am looking forward to meeting them soon, backing them to win it all. I will jump on the field and dance if we win,“ said the six-time Filmfare award winner. Court case not behind Salman pull out, insists Modwel Salman's pull out from the Pune outfit triggered a wave of speculation. Some believed that Salman's legal hassles (hit & run case and the black buck hunting case) had caught the ire of partner club ACF Fiorentina who wanted the team's face to have a clean image. But FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel rubbished reports saying, “Fiorentina had not put any pre-condition. This is not at all true. It was because of the brand Salman endorses (Thums Up) is in direct conflict with ISL's partners Pepsi. We wanted Salman to continue.“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think local talent in Kerala #$aaakthuu%5 side is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
