Friends Club president Ratna Shumser Rana always sounds "ambitious".
Rana admitted that the budget of the club for a year was Rs 90 Lakhs. Friends Club has never spent such huge money ever before.
Why?
"We haven't won any title since long", Rana said, "We haven't compromised with anything this year. We have signed good players and have given them handsome money thinking that we can win "any" title this year".
Rana took the helm of the club six months back.
"We are now in position to spend Rs 90 Lakhs for a year", Rana said, "This is possible with the help of our sustainable income sources. We have five big billboards in prominent location of Kopundole while we have our own building where we are collecting money through rent".
"We will cover our expenses by signing sponsorship deal with some corporate houses", Rana revealed, "We will sign sponsorship deal very soon".
Rana also hinted that they could renew the sponsorship deal with Nepal Investment Bank Limited.
"I can't confirm it now but we are very close for signing the deal", added Rana.
Rana also mentioned that the club had agreed to sign former APF coach Dil Kaji Gurung.
"We have almost agreed to the deal", Rana said, "The paper contract will be done shortly".
Rana, however, kept him mum over the amount of the signing.
"It is done on the mutual understanding", Rana added, "But are definitely paying him but we are keeping this affair confidential".
