If ISL becomes popular in India then Indian manufacturing companies should use this as an opportunity to manufacture FIFA-approved artificial turfs and other football stuffs at a low cost.
How Long this ISL will go on? Did u guys heard anything about the time frame? Everyone knows there can't be two leagues running simultaneously for a long period of time. At some point any one of the leagues has to shutdown, that's for sure! But, I hope I League should remain as the premier league of this country..!
@ArsenalFan700 Im asking about the no. of years that ISL is going to happen. I don't think we can manage both the leagues forever. Now, lot of parties interested in new I League teams coz BFC's success. We have to shutdown one or the other league. So which league we have to sacrifice!?
I still think that this league is a big PR stunt in world cup year to promote Tendulkar, ganguly, Ranbir Kapoor etc. Dont believe the rumours by journalists. They will cancel this league somewhere in August.
My favorite quote: "India is a very different market, but people are so used to the IPL model which has been very successful. In the rest of the world football is organised somewhat differently, but the concept of starting with a limited number of franchises and having it be very Bollywood etc is something that is the model in India."
The IPL/Bollywood model is only SIX YEARS OLD! How the hell is India SO USED to it. The Premier League has been in India longer!
