In a social media message, Singh also said that a number of discrepancies have some to light in the term sheet and final agreement document between the two companies as well as the club which is not acceptable to Bunker Hill.Two main elements that Singh pointed out were the number of representatives in the Board of Directors and who will become the chairman of the board.âWe had discussions and arguments over these for the last 15 days. We were almost there, but now it looks like the agreement will not happen,â he stated, adding that in the present condition they will not allow any investor to step in.âWe have invested heavily in the club for the last four years, but due to some wrong expectations, the Bunker Hill-Shrachi deal has fallen through,â he stated.MSC thus face a tough road ahead to their maiden ISL campaign which they were supposed to kickstart againstNEUFCon Sep 16.
