Today the East Bengal FC Executive committee has unanimously decided not to sign the final agreement with investor Shree Cement as Football Monk can confirm. Sources confirm that the century-old club has officially informed its decisions to the SC authority.

The Feud

East Bengal Club officials were in turmoil with their investors Shree Cement Foundation for more than four months. The scenario started off with regards to the term sheet that the club officials were scheduled to sign ahead of the upcoming season.

But in reality, both the parties were acres away from a common point. And were yet to find out a way out from this chaos. Thus making the century-old club look vulnerable in order to participate in the country’s top fleet where they hooped in just last season. Though, East Bengal officials have assured from time to time that these matters won’t stop the club from participating in the ISL. But now it seems that they have decided to make a strong statement.
