| Times of India' English club QPR's wing in Chennai likely for I-League soccer Krishna Kant Chakraborty & Dwaipayan Datta, TNN | May 28, 2013, 02.11 AM IST CHENNAI: The city's decade-long wait for an I-League football club is likely to end soon. The promoters of the Queen's Park Rangers (QPR), Air Asia, have expressed a desire to buy the Chennai franchise for the I-League. All India Football Federation (AIFF) authorities have started expanding the I-League. The Indian version of QPR is likely to join the bandwagon next year. At present I-League has 14 teams, and with the addition of two new sides this year from Mumbai and Bangalore, it's likely to be 16. But AIFF will have a couple of more teams next year and Chennai will be one of them. "Air Asia authorities have told us that they are very interested in buying the Chennai franchise. Their Indian operations are headquartered in Chennai and that's why they are looking at the possibilities of having a football club in the city," an AIFF source told TOI on Monday. According to AIFF bosses, the QPR model will also be followed in the building of the team, which is likely to be named Chennai Rangers FC. "QPR might have been relegated from the Premier League this season, but their fight against Manchester City last season on that dramatic last day has almost become the stuff of legend. They are looking to set up the infrastructure that they have for the London-based club in Chennai. There might be some QPR reserve bench players playing in India as well," the source added. Air Asia is apparently ready to meet all the requirements for setting up the franchise. "We have said that the franchises have to set up a youth development programme and they are game...There's already a good stadium in Chennai (Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium). Our process of expansion is on and it would be great if they come on board next year," the AIFF official added. The federation bosses confirmed that Chennai Rangers FC will not be relegated from the first division in the first three seasons even if they do poorly. "We want to give these new clubs some time to get the house in order," the official added. Tamil Nadu's decline in the national soccer scene started since Indian Bank got relegated from the National Football League in 2001. Since the premier tournament was renamed I-League in 2007, no Chennai club has even come close to qualifying. "There is a local league and we have some good players from the city. But the lack of infrastructure and the internal politics of the Tamil Nadu football league has hurt us for a while now. It will be great if a team like QPR comes with all its infrastructure to our city and builds a club which is free of the turmoil of the state politics," Raman Vijayan, a former India player from the city, said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sport....ow/20301154.cms | ||

Jago to be inducted into Indoor Soccer Hall of Fame
This week former Dallas Sidekicks coach Gordon Jago was named to the 2013 class to be inducted into the Indoor Soccer Hall of Fame.
Jago coached the Dallas Sidekicks for 12 seasons, and in 1987 led the team to a championship against the Tacoma Stars in the most memorable seven-game series in indoor soccer history. He coached the Sidekicks to a CISL championship in 1993, finishing with a 259-223 overall regular season record. Jago’s legacy includes discovering Tatu in Brazil and eventually bringing him to Dallas where he became an indoor soccer legend. He was named Coach of the Year with the Sidekicks in 1986 and 1993. At various times in his Sidekicks career, Jago doubled as General Manger, General Partner and Team President of the club in addition to his coaching duties. Jago retired as Head Coach after the 1997 season and became President of the World Indoor Soccer League in 1998. Currently Jago serves as Ambassador and Special Consultant to the Dallas Cup international youth soccer tournament, and is also a member of the Sidekicks broadcast team.
“I am very honored to receive the award for I have nothing but good memories of my years with the Sidekicks in the indoor soccer leagues,” Jago said. “It is a reward not only for me, but also to all of the assistant coaches, staff and players whose efforts made it possible for me to be selected.”
Jago is nominated along with five notable players, all who played in the era from 1978 to 1992 when the original MISL and NASL Indoor dominated the indoor scene.
“All of my fellow inductees are outstanding players whose performances over many years took the indoor soccer game here in the USA to a new level of play and entertainment,” Jago said. “I have so many great memories of their performances even though they were against the Sidekicks.”
