Bunkerhill Sports Management Group, the Gurgaon-based company which has been the investor of Mohammedan Sporting for the last three years is going to introduce its own new club Bunkerhill Haryana FC soon. 

The company is on the verge of departing from Mohammedan Sporting. However, the club secretary Istiaque Ahmed, speaking to Parallel Sports, tried to confirm that it is a misunderstanding only between the investor and the club and it will be resolved in their next meeting on 24th April. Istiaque said, "Investor expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in transferring shares and controlling power of the club's youth development program. The share will be transferred soon. But regarding the controlling power of youth development operations, there is no such agreement. It has to be discussed. If academies are constructed then we may look after Kolkata projects and they can look after the academies outside. At the same time, we need to make a post-mortem of the senior team's disaster in the I-League last season as Bunkerhill built up the team. But I am optimistic that everything will be solved." 

But the founder and chairman of Bunkerhill Sports Management, Deepak Singh while speaking to Parallel Sports stated clearly, "We have invested nearly Rs 30 crores in last three years and now they are offering 50 percent of the share. We need 75 percent of the share. Most of the I-League clubs are hugely expanding their budget. So if we have to increase the budget then how should we be satisfied with 50 percent of the shares? Secondly, we need controlling the power of the club's youth development program officially. I have been asking for it last two years and have not yet obtained it. They do not understand football and the continuous changes in the game. They only want money and buy foreign players to become champions in a tournament like I-League. Additionally, they did not listen to us, participating in the tournament in Odisha only a couple of days before the start of the I-League. The third important factor is when we are getting such an opportunity to build up our own football club, and youth development programs then why we will spend money for a club that does not believe in modernization and transformation?"

Bunkerhill has already set up a football 'center of excellence' in Gurgaon which consists of two practice grounds and one full-sized ground. Deepak revealed, "We are going through a series of serious discussions with the Russian Football Federation, and following their advice, our club is going to make collaboration with a Russian Premier Club. Not only, we will rope in their footballers and coach for our senior team in the I-League, our endeavor on youth development programs including the foundation of more 'centers of excellence' in the country's four zones will be guided by the Russian Club and its academy."

However, considering the situation, especially the recruitment of players and coaching staff, Deepak feels their participation in the I-League might be materialized in 2024-25.
