This is probably the only sports league in the world where the focus is on celebrity owners (actors, ex-cricketers) and the promise to bring old,retired,unfit players from abroad. Everything except football. In IPL T20, old retired cricketers can hide as small boundary, slow wicket and 2-3 overs of batting is enough for them in shortened version T20. How will old unfit retired players hide in Football? Will they make 30 minutes game with small size Football Ground?
So far, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Ranbir kapoor are promoted-Where is Football?
@coolgagan Nobody is questioning the ability of IMG-Reliance on making money. The question here is whether they are making profit by benefiting or ruining Indian Football?
So, ISL will be from Sep-Oct-Nov, So, what if a Indian club has qualified for AFC cup QF and SF stages (that happens on sep -oct-nov)? Will they release the players for the club a day before the QF or SF match or will they give optimal time for the clubs to prepare or they will decide not send Indian clubs to AFC competitions bcoz ISL is fun but not AFC cup.
Of course ISL has ranbir, sachin, ganguly...etc AFC cup has nothing so ISL organizers will start saying that AFC cup is no use for Indian football..!

Some funding gossip that how clubs will gain by loaning out their players.
