If you go through this article, it looks like Valcke is certainly not happy with ISL. So maybe next year most of the team might be merged thats's my guess. But dont what will happen to EB,MB and ATK.
The only I-League club I can see merging with ISL is Bengaluru FC. All the other clubs are either already in partnerships with ISL clubs or they just will fall to the state leagues/existence.
Hyderabad produced so many players for our National team during golden period. now it is in total ruins. just hope there is atleast an ISL team from there in future to rejuvenate football there.. Eventually would want a franchise from Hyderabad in I-league- sooner the better
my wish 1. for kolkata clubs either wb / mb ties up with atk, other should be undertaken by some corporates ( 2 teams) 2. BFC 3. pune 1 team ( merge all, give pune fc priority) 4. Mumbai 1 team 5. Chennai 1 team 6. Kochi 1 team 7. North east 2 teams 8. goa 2 teams 9. delhi 1 team 10. punjab 1 team 11. 1 team fro j & k ( yes j & k ) 14 teams. all total.
