Sunando Dhar has made a statement that both Minerva & Bardez have submitted bifs for direct entry into this ileague. Million dollar question is will IMG allow new clubs?
So here comes the news ,Minerva AFC and FC Bardez submit Bids for I-League Entry
Theory 1:
seriously the way they are going , looks like that they want to make 10-12 good team i league
and then add ISL to that which gives you total 20 teams
whatever is remaining count goes to league 1 (Still 8-12 teams)
Theory 2:
basically now I league is now 11 team affair(assuming these bids wont fail and churchil brothers follow the same route)
I am Sure one more corporate team will try to sneak in...which will give ultimate count to 12
IT is also rumored 2 more teams will bid as new franchise in ISL which makes it 10 teams(Gujarat & rajasthan)...
SO here goes scenario , ISL will be top league with 10 teams, I league will be league 1 with 12 teams
then next season 2 teams will join ISL making it 12
so they will follow the already proposed road-map..
theory 3 :
ISL is 8 team as usual & I league expands to 12 teams,so next year anyhow BFC will join them along with one legacy team teaming with ATK(so ATK+EB or ATK+MB)
this makes ISL 10 team league and I league a.k.a becomes 10 team once 2 teams get reduced (anyways barring these 3 bigwigs others didn't seem to be interested that much)
there you go, so ultimately this also goes with proposed road map
conclusion : AIFF just fucking around with y'all hahaha
Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in above theory are of me and me only and do not necessarily reflect whatsoever w.r.t. what AIFF is or will be planning to do
I built these theories based on idiotic rumors which are being spread over last few days lol... :P
Till the time AIFF does not make any official announcement which will be mostly till next June (trust me even if they say JAN its going to be JUNE), simply chill out!!! :P
Expanding I-league will further squeeze the 'window' available to ISL, so IMG-R won't allow it. At the most, they will allow one team to make the number of teams even. All this bids and 'shown interest' are bakwas.
