In January 2020, Indian Super League (ISL) club ATK and I-League club Mohun Bagan decided to merge to form ATK Mohun Bagan and take part in the ISL from the 2020-21 season.
In the first board meeting of the new club, which was held in July, it was revealed that Bagan's colours and the logo had been retained but the name of the entity remained ATK Mohun Bagan, leaving a section of the fanbase unhappy.
Bagan official Debasish Dutta, on the occasion of the celebration of the Mohun Bagan Day on Wednesday, addressed the issue and alluded to previous instances of discontent among fans that ultimately turned out to be a boon for the club.
