NorthEast United FC use some humour to announce their player retention
SOMETIMES TALKING to oneself can lead to dubious notions. Well, NorthEast United FC just did the same to announce their player retention.
The club was the last on list to announce to share any news on the player retention. Delhi Dynamos FC had recently announced that the club would not be retaining any player and NEUFC was looking like to be taking that route.
Only today, NEUFC tweeted the following.
Sign someone NorthEast United FC!!!

This led to fans into confusion and had multiple player names (mostly foreign) being brought up. A fan club handle even replied this.
Is the page hacked. @IndSuperLeague

The club handle then added a few more tweets just to add to the anxiety (or confusion).
The weather is nice. Will be better if we #signsomeone 😠
