@ ;Ashlesh Not all those 4 who invested in KBFC are actors... These guys are rich enough to invest and can bear losses for couple of years...
Allu Aravind is a film producer.. His son Allu Arjun has lot of following in Kerala...
Nimmagadda Prasad is industrialist and Maa TV owner along with Nagarjuna...
Also Nagarjuna is Actor cum Producer...
Chiranjeevi also own some part in Maa TV.. Also he is a politician.. His son Ram Charan is super rich after marriage and he is producer as well and trying to enter malayalam industry along with Bollywood.. Only pupil like Rajini Kanth have monetary power like Ram Charan..
It is also a news thread and gossip thread and discussion thread.
As for what lokesh and Ashlesh said, again, you both should not speak about the A-League. All posts regarding the league are retarded.
@red_devil At this point I would not comment again on this, both those users just won't give up and will come back with another conspiracy theory or whatever "inside scoop" they have which is probably true but fuck it, I don't care.
My last comment on this will be, based on everything here, the reason the Indian Super League will fail will not be because of the franchise system. Based on history and also whatever has been revealed here, the league will fail simply based on the fact that this is a sports league in India.
And to dispel my personal view that I support this league, I don't. I personally want a J. League style league in India, not a full-on franchise system. I like the idea of slowly constructing promotion/relegation from the top and keeping institutional clubs in the system but limiting them unless they can pass a strict criteria (needed to go from JFL to J3 or J3 to J2).
Balls! Only way forward is to revive is being radical. Cleanup AIFF (FIFA ban notwithstanding), get rid of IMG-R and revitalize I-League. Including EB MB BFC in ISL will placate us fans but won't do an inch to improve Indian football.
Before '93, Japan was pygmy (well, metaphorically speaking) in football. so they created a league, and a system. While we were a powerhouse in Asia till the '70s and thereafter we slackened. The logical path for us was to tighten the belt, reform AIFF and domestic set up as pointed out by @eastbengalpride above. You did not need to wipe out the previous achievements and start afresh (with a faulty model, I daresay). Not very complex, not very far-fetched.
The Japanese professionalized the game in the country in 1993. The J. League was created but the Japan Soccer League was around before it and so were many of the clubs.
