The club has an Indian connection as well. Anglian Holdings, an NRI-owned conglomerate has acquired some strategic stake in the club.

It should also be noted that players signed for IMG- Reliance are in the lurch because of the ongoing impasse between the marketing partners of AIFF and the clubs. 200px-Subrata_palEarlier yet another player signed for IMG-Reliance – Syed Rahim Nabi was said to leave for US to participate in trials with MLS side DC United. IMG-Reliance will at least  try to get trials for players signed with them, or else their players risk of losing crucial playing time with the ongoing limbo with I-league clubs.
