They did resist loaning their players to ISL last year. In the end, it's a business decision: getting the most of a difficult situation. There also may be pressure from some quarters (may be AIFF). Whatever is happening behind the curtains, we don't know. Only @Gaffertape can tell .
But identifying the primary threat to your existence in innate.
I-League clubs should retaliate against players who are over eager for ISL. Starting with reducing salaries considerably to actually not signing a bunch of them post ISL. Imagine guys like Lord Robin or Jackie without a club post ISL for one whole year, that will be one stinging slap which will bring them to their knees.
Point is, players should be forced to sign for I-League clubs and then go on loan to ISL and not vice versa. That way the clubs can earn some money. Anyways Indian players are way over paid, none of them are worth a crore including Chhetri, he won't get that money even in Bangladesh.
I have a lot of respect for our captain..whatever be his ability.he has conducted himself with dignity and lead from the front in this murky murky world of indian football. I don't grudge him the salary....people have sold their souls and integrity for a lot less in the current indian football setup.
Those who are bad mouthing I League clubs should remember that these clubs did not wait for Nita Bhabhi to invest in football. They have been spending crores every year without expecting to make any profit from it. They did it all for the love of the game.
Very poor response by FC Pune City Fans for tickets so far. All stands are available online for tickets with 4 days to go. I guess Pune Fans are taking revenge of closure of their beloved Bharat FC by boycotting FC Pune City?? :P
Now Paying the Fans and allowing slum kids in stadium for free will be the only way to make it look full on TV. or Star sports guys may install green screens.
