I agree @eastbengalpride. There is no other way to have a reasonable discussion with this gang of crooks....#IMG money has made them immune to everything else....there is no point in participating in ileague now....let AIFF come to the table seriously....till then lets be happy with CFL/GPL/MPL....we may end up being the only FIFA country in top 200 without a league and our national team would be banned..but its not ileague club's problem.
The outside league would fail in less than a season and would have the same shit that people hate the ISL over. Things like no Asian football for example.
Cause why would anyone follow it... and why would any corporates back it? And you know that if somehow it shows some success the ISL will just pump up the standards even more.

These words are worth in Gold. Remember we are talking about CCFC who thankfully were smart enough not to take direct I-league spot despite talking about it for 2 years.
This also sounds a final death kneel to AIFF trying to fish in Corporates.
Lets take ur argument further@ArsenalFan700, suppose we have a parallel league with corporate sponsors spread over Oct-April (with clubs mb,eb,Pune fc, salgaocar,dempo/scg, bfc, slfc, aizawal, eaglesfc,jct, and 4others) they keep a salary cap of 10cr for each team and play in smaller stadia to keep costs low....get decent marketing to sell merchandise and allow clubs to strike individual tv deals apart from a league tv deal with even someone like TEN. This league would survive and is guaranteed 12-14k median crowds (not avg as derby's distort avg no's) with matches played on weekend evenings.
What can ISL/IMG do? The league is already unsustainable with hiring of Stars of 1990's ....even if they try they can't recruit the Messi's etc....so I don't clearly understand what u mean by ISL going up a notch...ticket prices won't allow those improvement....no player with a career left is going to be seen dead in #ISL.....
Until #IMG and its goons( #AIFF) start banning players and refusing stadia access for the domestic league participants that league will do well....i personally. Don't think Aiff has the clout BCCI had...so if the domestic traditional clubs are serious about survival, this is the moment to start afresh.
