I totally agree to you. He is just a show off. He got into so many controversies and he has no point to prove. The team has failed miserably. Its such a nice team but their not even winning a match after that single win. SRK`s movies has also been taking a nosedive. SRK = LOSER in all sense. Better concentrate on movies, Cricket is not ur game.

Hey para you are saying like a d___. Why you are blaming sharukh khan? Is he is fielding in the match like your dada(sourab ganguly ) is doing. Even I am better fielder than d_d_. The whole thing has been done by buchnan and he himself would resign. In the last ipl, even kkr has not done best but they have the highest profit of 13 crore above other team, it is because of sharukh.

I totally disagree that Shah Rukh Khan is ruining the name of Kolkata.Infact he does not involve in the cricketing matters at all.I have seen and heard from him in various interviews he says he keeps encouraging the team,and I like the things he has said.
It is the useless John Buchanan who is ruining the name of Kolkata.I dont know why the media is giving so much importance and publicity to him.When he was the Aussie coach nobody cared what he said or did.Its a fact that Aussie methodology and philosophy will not work in Indian especially Kolkatan cricket because of so many cultural differences.
I hope SRK changes the coach next year.If he doesnt,then its gonna be even worse for Kolkata

Why you think he is ruining the name of Kolkata, just because because he sacked captaincy from Sourav Ganguly. Realy Sourav has crazy fan following there, thinking why they taking that much time to burn Sharukh and Buchanan's posters..lol, they were proactive in case of Chappel.

The biggest blunder of Shahrukh was he believed John Buchanan. Even a 9 year old kid wouldn't have trusted Buchanan. Shahrukh kahn is not entirely responsible for KKR's disaster but even he has a part in it. First mistake was that he shouldnt have intervened in the Gavaskar- Buchanan issue. He may be the owner of the team but its not proper to poke in between the issues of two cricketers. Moreover ShahRukh Khan first confirmed that Dada would be the Main man in IPL but he made Mccullum the captain. Shah Rukh was not firm on his stance and that is one of the reasons for his team's downfall. Even Mallaya is doing the same mistake. Cricket is a game that is to be left to the players and not to the administrative management. Inface Mumbai Indians, DC or CSK are doing well since they have not been intervened by their owners as they very well know that Cricket is a game and the spirit of the game is very important.

Well first of all Kolkotta is fantastic city - with ancient buildings , temples , historical monuments , lovely sea food , cheap road side eateries, cool sweets and most of all - its people. People here are intelligent , helpful , passionate about their football , cricket and food.Girls are gorgeous with their bindis and their kajal. They have this uncanny style of arguing with almost anyone on any issue but without getting into trouble and ending it all on a lite hearted note. It is the city of revolutionaries , a previous hotbed of Indian freedom struggle That is what the kolkotta is. And they will not like to be associated with anything which shatters its image.
So when all Shahrukh Khan has done with his team , they will but naturally feel sad. But it is not in the end Shahrukhs fault. Blame it on our Indian mentality of accepting the gori chamdi as the ultimate in any thing. So Shahrukh has trusted John Buchanan who has brought a myriad of coaches for eating , sleeping , drinking and may be a coach even for partying. The worst thing to do was to hurt Ganguly's ego. Dada is cool and respected but has a ego problem like we saw in world cup of 2007 with Greg Chappel, when dada just added few runs to his kitty and not played in teams interest. But his leadership skills are unquestionable and so is his ability. Thing is due to all this media and money associated with it, Dada has lost it somewhere. But he is a fighter and he will come back and in remaining matches try his best for his team.
Other mistake of Shahrukh was selecting too many foreign players when you have the clear cut equation of 7 +4. Quality of some of those players is also questionable. He needed some good Indian Internationals or strong domestic performers. Also the indifference of Pakistani players towards IPL has hurt this team. Shahrukh needs a miracle to reach in semis for this time and he needs managers and MBA's who understand cricket to rope in better players next time around so that he does not face the wrath of other wise peace loving bong bandhus.Or else he has to face something like fakeiplplayer again.

Shahrukh Khan is not to be blamed. Although he is the owner of his team, he certainly is not a dictator. The whole mess was started by Buchanan and also Ganguly. Dada is also partly to be blamed for discussing dressing room stuff in the
public.
KKR certainly needs an Indian Coach next year.

I disagree with you on these counts:
1)Shahrukh is a very lively person and definately not a dull person as you have mentioned.
2)God has not given money to Shahrukh. It is the huge number of fans who adore him that directly or indirectly lead to the money genearated by him. Hence, it is not God's fault, it is the collective creation of people who love him.

I dont think Shahrukh Khan has to blamed for the debacle of the Team. All the team needs is unity and strength. Look at the way Royal Challengers Bangalore have bounced back. They have been dubbed as the weakest team, because the team has got genuine players.
