Merger is not possible for sure in current situation , ISL want to make profit after all these years of loss , so there is no way they afford i-league clubs or promotion/relegation or sharing money through central pool or without franchise fees . And i-league clubs they can't leave top tier league ,no matter what they don't leave . So Aiff need to kill one or wait till it die itself . But i am sure apart from i-league clubs and its fans nobody else want i-league .
Comedy is i-league blaming IMG-R for poor promotion
Either ISL or I-League one as to die . There is no other way . you say isl will die , i say i-league almost dead ,already FIFA recognized league . Its not about fifa recognition that really matters . I heard whole Aiff budget for a year is 50 crores . With this budget , you really can't do anything so i not blame Aiff for this situation .
Promotion of I-League also comes under IMG-Reliance. And as a matter of fact promotion of Indian National Team and 2nd Division League also comes under IMG Reliance, which they have been avoiding since the start.
Its not always the money that matters sometime its about passion. I dont see ISL being a success once the league gets longer also teams have to play under AFC regulations which means no more than 4 foreigners and the quality will be same as i league teams. Teams budget will also get reduced since the return is low. I really dont understand the fetish with attendance, we have to understand that you cant buy fans you have to earn it. Its not that i'm against ISL, i love Delhi Dynamos above all teams but its just the way that clubs like EB,MB ,BFC, SCG, Salgocar , Lajong etc are being forced out to make way for ISL. I am preety sure that nobody has given Shit about EB, MB and BFC merger into ISL if it wasnt for their huge fan base.

All I can find was this 27th September report : http://m.goal.com/s/en-india/news/136/india/2016/09/27/27942422/praful-patel-no-club-needs-to-feel-threatened-by-the-roadmap
Which is not supporting my statements
