Bagan officials quit after differences

Kolkata: Cracks have surfaced in the Mohun Bagan camp after they failed to win the I-League title as senior officials Debashis Dutta and Srinjoy Bose on Monday stepped down from their posts, alleging non-cooperation from secretary Anjan Mitra. Club assistant sec. Bose and finance sec. Dutta put in their papers on Monday. “This is not an overnight decision. We have been thinking about it for about four years now,” Bose said. Asked whether the players would suffer due to this, Dutta said, “The team is in safe hands with coach Shankarlal Chakraborty. We have recently pruned the squad to 25 and they will leave for Bhubaneswar on March 19 for practice. They (Anjan Mitra and his office bearers) have a lot of time left to make a champion squad for next season,” he added.
