Kerala Blasters co-owner, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has said the club "will take a deep, hard look at the season and analyse what can be done".
The Kochi-based Indian Super League franchise, the finalists of the inaugural season finished at the bottom this season. Tendulkar in a Facebook post to the fans said he shared "the pain and angst" of the club's fans.
"Sports teaches you a lot about the realities of life. For one, it teaches you that in every failure lies an opportunity to rise and succeed. The second season ended disappointingly for the Kerala Blasters. I share the pain and angst of the millions of fans across the country who have offered their overwhelming support to the team over the last two years," the Master Blaster said in the message.
"The deep disappointment was palpable in the many messages, mails, posts, nudges and whispers I received especially as the season was nearing culmination. As part of ‪#‎KerelaBlasters‬, I can assure you that we will take a deep, hard look at the season and analyse what can be done. But panicking and passing the blame instantly or scrutinizing difficult decisions retrospectively may not be the right approach," he added.
"They say winning and losing is part of any game. However, at ‪#‎KeralaBlasters‬ we are determined to win… to win back your faith and the special position we have in your hearts. We are committed to make every effort to overcome this challenging phase and take the steps to set the platform for the vibrant #KeralaBlasters we are all proud of," Tendulkar concluded.
