Chennai Rangers FC (rumour)

[SuperHoopNik]

Rumours going around twitter that we've gone the Man City route and will create a new club abroad, in India.

That's quite weird tbh but if it helps the global brand then why not. The Mittals are from India & it's a huge market

They've recently joined up with New York ****ees and created a new football (well, "soccer") team that's going into the MLS in a few years.

I have no idea mate but would assume that's the idea. Joint marketing / revenue income venture with the hope of producing the odd gem or 2 out of the slums out there.

In fairness they should be half decent if we get em playing, I mean if you can play with a cabbage then when it comes to doing it with a football it would be easy - right?!

Transfer Bosingwa to them and then sell the club to some other idiot, will probably be easier than just selling Bosingwa......

..........you don't mean Jamie Pollock there do you?!

[ollyhoops]

I don't think we will get any players out of it because they don't play football over there.

I think the idea to just get India interested in football and hope that they all watch QPR on the TV..... although their eyes will fade quick watching Park & Zamora trap the ball...

India and Pakistan's aversion (in general) to football always a strange one for me.

Maybe I am totally ignorant and there is a feverish appreciation of the game in those two countries but it's surpressed by cricket.
Yet whenever I play at Goals anywhere in London, Sunday football around West London and talk football in work there's never any lack of Indian's involved --- admittedly mainly with an affinity to Manc's or Cheskoom.

So if this is true then fair play to the club in looking to break new ground in a huge and emerging market.

At least the kits will be cheap

We had joined a team in USA as well a few years back, what happened to that?
