2013-14 I-League General Discussion Thread

Last year when ISL was cancelled and players were left in the lurch, it was these clubs Rangdajied, Churchill, Mohammedan Sporting who hired their players who were clubless. and ISL returned the compliment by banning them this year.
Can anyone tell me what criteria Ranbir Kapoor's Mumbai Franchise satisfy or Salman Khan's Pune Franchise satisfy? Nowadays they build a club on facebook and rumours by some journalist that Messi is coming, Thieere Henry is coming, Crespo has signed!!!!!

I-League needs to have 2 more teams , or the league will be less than a 20 game season.

To rectify this , teams would have to play each other 3 times a season.... Home & Away AND again at a neutral venue

by playing at a neutral venue, could help spread the I-League , albeit for 1 game to cities like Nagpur, Kohlapur, Manjeri , Imphal, Aizawl, etc

In austria league this format is implemented...

The A-League already does 3 times as well but I think it is randomly drawn on who hosts the third time.

might not have to do the 3 games now...

2 teams "confirmed" as direct entries into I-League....

1. Chennai ( Netaji FC most likely )
   
2. Hyderabad team ! probably the Rendezvous Sports group ( former Kochi IPL franchise holders )
