Oh shit! ^That was a hot discussion that I missed. I don't want 14-16 teams post the merger. 12 would be fine to start with. And then we can gradually increase every year(if required). We can have 6 foreigners in the league and follow 3+1 rule for AFC competitions. In that case, the four foreign players selected will be the best with the team. The manager would therefore work hard to build the team keeping in mind the success in the league as well as AFC competitions( due to restricted no. of foreign players).
As for people advocating for only 4 foreigners, why don't you guys understand that we do not have that big a pool of quality indian players. This problem can only be solved if we have proper grassroots. As a decent supply of players comes in we can then decrease the foreign players and have our own players. As it is, with 14 teams and only 4 foreigners in the league, the play will suffer due to lack of quality Indians. WE JUST DONT hAVE SO MANY!
