Shillong ? Yes .No doubt about that ,They won't even make ot past the licensing criteria . That was just the Lajong fan in me talking . Maybe Salgaocar can hold on and make an impact . But i'd still prefer the league to start with 10 teams and add teams eventually.
I think Shillong Lajong will benefit a lot from staying in a second tier. They are putting a lot of resources towards youth development and there team is strong enough that they would survive in a second tier and do well in it. It could really help galvanize Meghalaya football and who knows, hypothetically, once ISL does open up pro/rel or do expansion, Shillong could be a prime candidate.
