Who are Sudeva even? I mean, I want to know more about them before we just say "let them in". We shouldn't just allow any team. We did that with Mumbai Tigers (Dodsal) and Bharat FC and look at how that ended.
We currently have 7 teams. Letting in Minerva Punjab, Chennai City, and Bardez/Churchill Brothers should be enough. 10 teams for a January to April/May league is perfect. Hopefully the Dempo, Salgaocar, and Sporting Goa players can be loaned out to Bardez or Churchill Brothers or other I-League clubs. Maybe add NEROCA to even it out at 12 teams.
I really want to see guys like Romeo Fernandes, Mandar Rao Desai, Denzil Franco, Sahil Tavora, Fulganco Cardozo, Keenan Almeida, Laxmikant Kattimani, Beevan D'Mello, Germanpreet Singh, Myron Fernandes, Victorino Fernandes, Glan Martins, Francis Fernandes, Joyner Lourenco, Gibert Oliveria etc. back in the I-League. They are great for the league.
Hopefully Dempo, Sporting Goa, and Salgaocar stick to their guns, they have every reason to be pissed with the way they are treated by the AIFF but I hope they don't deny the players (if they want to play in the I-League and get selected for the national team)
@ArsenalFan700 ...AIFF should find out a amicable solution regarding merger of league rather than confrontation with goan club.In such small state there are multiple legacy club like Dempo, Salgaocar, and Sporting Goa who may not have supporter & fan base compare to MB,EB or BFC but they have the culture & interest of football also they have emerging club like FC Bardez,. I am really afraid what happen the player future like Romeo,Mander,Travora.Cardaozo,Kattimony etc if they shut down the club. Bcz one small club cant afford lots of this player. Mr PP/Mr KD from AIFF & Demo /Salgaokar (who are equally responsible for this fiasco) shoud take a decision which can forward indian football rather than club shut.
