So guys what did I tell you'll. You'll call me a comedy, call me names but what i've said is slowly coming true.
Firstly the ISL is becoming more and more like the I-League and owners are already looking to cut costs due to not much of return on investment. FC Goa is staying in a shit hole hotel that is not even approved by the League. For the Chennaiyin -ATK match the sponsor logos were dropping off the jerseys and it looked like a club game. This shows that the sponsors were signed a few days before the tournament which means it was a distress sale and I really doubt the amount that TVS tyres gave them. Also I understand that FC Goa haven't filled up all the sponsorship spots on their jerseys. DSK has moved to the sleeve from the back of the jersey of FC Goa,which means the money has reduced. Pune Cty are again sponsored by their parent company DHFL, same for FC Goa being sponsored by Deltin. Some unknown sponsors have sponsored the back of the Chennaiyin jersey but that is understandable as long as the money is good. Adidas is gone from FC Goa and one wonders how much Umbro gave them. Rabindra Sarovar couldnt get a full house and as always balewadi had more crowd for a Pune FC game than a Pune City game.
You'll thought I was a fool but mark my words, ISL is going to crumble very soon. There is no buzz this year. TRP's have definitely gone down. Not much coverage on newspapers even in ISL centres. The writing is on the wall. This League is just a gateway to Ambanis house for ambitious businessmen and does not make business sense at all.
