Enough of the BFL madness

The emotions had probably been bubbling under, but once fissures cracked open, the eruption has been enormous . Football has witnessed all the ugly twists and turns, with the image of the sport taking a dent with each passing episode. In one corner is Nicholas Zakhem who is not budging while at the other end, sits the BFL ‘renegades’.

The rebellious group has made it clear it has had enough of Zakhem (and to some extent, Jagdish Shah). But Zakhem says, ‘Play the game according to the rules.’ No one is prepared to blink and last week the crisis touched new levels when the BFL offices were slammed shut, locks on doors and the hapless employees sent home.
