<br><div><br></div><div>Bullshit mate. First off, the Thai Premier League will crap on I-League 9 times out of 10. Also, I don't compare to top leagues. When have I done that?

Is it not that the AIFF have mismanaged it. If they can sort out their front office and put rules and standards for the clubs, then they will be moving in the right direction. But if the AIFF is a mess (no fix schedules, non prize money payment, lack of transparency and accountability) what are the clubs to do, most clubs have had the same attitude of lack of professionalism which has held football back. But the scene is changing with Pune,Bengaluru and others as well. <div>As for the money thing, don't players get paid well?, Yes clubs need to break even but they haven't really taken advantage of whats available. Plus most clubs run on sugar daddy's money who can afford to lose upto 3 - 4 million dollars a year, and really don't most club run on a 2- 4 million budget? its not really that much.</div>
<em>Still the best league in South Asia & SE Asia (Proof that clubs here spend a lot more to bring in talent + we always manage to beat the SE Asian clubs in AFC matches)</em><div> </div><div>This guy is in hallucination. SE asian league like Thai preimeir league, Indonesian preimer league(ISL before) etc are far ahead than our crappy(<em>at least for me in terms of TV viewing and corwd etc</em>) I league. </div><div> </div><div>Quite agree with @Arsenalfan. <br></div>

Most I-league clubs have recruited players as per their budget. Will they have enough or any budget left to sign these players?
