But its obviously talking about the MLS and I don't see how overspending on guys they probably don't have the means to buy (as a club) in the first place is outsmarting us. MLS's slow and steady approach in a country where soccer is still looked at as a niche (we're the "fifth" sport at best in the US and fourth in Canada) is bad compared to what they have in China which is what exactly?
@MAFC : what are your views on Goan clubs pull out of i-league? Most probably you will get relegated by end of this year ( proposed roadmap ) still you are spending money to get into i-league, what are your goals?
Lot of uncertainity is there. who knows whetehr there will be any relegation or not next year? I-league will continue for many more years or merger will take place. Lets see that Minerva get into I-League first.
With Salgaocar/Dempo/SCG gone and inclusion of 2 new clubs ccfc and Minerva aiff roadmap implementation has become quite easy. They have to figure out how to include big 3 clubs and problem solved. Because out of remaining 7 i-league no one is interested in top tier apart from Mumbai FC , but I don't think they will create any big issue. So looks like aiff roadmap is going to be implemented in coming year,may be after u17 world cup as per original plan
