ISL cannot start in Mid November as Foreign players will leave in January transfer window. They should not stop Domestic Football for U-17 WC. They do not have common players!!!! Even stadiums are different.
Clearly with askeleton ileague this year and almost certainly no ileague next year, ideal opportunity for BFC/MB/EB to withdraw and wait on the sidelines till #IMG finally makes up its mind about indian domestic football. Whether #IMG likes it or not national league is not a yo-yo to be held once every 3 years when #IMG finds time (as fans we should not allow it to become a side event like this).
Actually, other nations do not have the luxury of having two leagues. So no problems for them. For us, we have to pick and choose. Of course, ISL gets preference, because that gave us the birth of a footballing nation last year.
Merge the damn leagues, its simple. Get the ISL teams to implement AFC licensing criteria, whoever can't gets the boot. Also have a budget cap of 20crores/season including marquee players.
Or because its ISL a LA IPL it can easily be played in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a season. I am sure this is what will happen. Betting, fixed matches, film stars, cricketers..man this is like the Indian WWE main event, can't wait!
