Kolkata: East Bengal’s title sponsors Quess Corp, have tendered an apology to their fans after drawing flak recently on social media and in general for their poor show in the I-League and inability to build a proper team for the season.
East Bengal lost four out of their last five matches including the derby with arch-rivals Mohun Bagan. Spanish coach Alejandro Menéndez stepped down with Mario Rivera Campesino taking overs the reins. The club now languishes at seventh in the points table after nine matches.
In recent weeks, the fans have turned against the investing company and have engaged in war of words on social media.
“From day one of its existence, QEBFC management’s top priority was to give a great fan experience through different fan engagement activities,” Quess East Bengal FC said in a tweet post.
“Social network being a powerful medium, we tried to make it a platform to reach out to the large and ever growing fan base of East Bengal club.
“QEBFC management expresses its sincere regret and apology for any statement/comment which have hurt our fan base and anyone in the East Bengal family. (IANS)
