Do you even know the gap between the rich and poor in NE states? Yeah, having lived in NE I know, they are brand-fashion savvy. Sometimes likes to show off. But that is just the top layer. There extreme poverty my friend.
That poverty you are talking of is based in rural areas.
Urban people are mostly well-off and I think,after having travelled to all states atleast once,know it much better man!
People who run ISL have no clue about football They want all teams to have an equal budget so that their would be competitiveness in the league
This is what happens when u have people involved with cricket running football
Clubs will still have a poor season in football despite spending crores of money and sometimes a club with a low budget will do wonders eg RWFC,Aizawl,Leicester
Aizawl for what they have done deserve a place in senior division even if they can't manage a 40 crore budget and pay a player 10 times his actual value like ISL clubs
Relegating them to 2nd division now would be stupid I am sure Jamil would manage to do a great work with Aizawl then some other clubs with club with 40 crore budget and a marquee manager
Look all the stadiums are govt. owned. ISL teams just pay the concerned people timely so that the goundsmen, Sweeper, Electrician etc work professionally. I'm sure a club like Aizawl can easily manage to do that, put a LED ad board and all such stuff. Promotion wise they need to do almost nothing when compared to teams like Delhi, Chennai or Mumbai. And as I said player salaries are none of IMG-R business. A club can choose to sign a foreign player or not. It's their decision. I'm sure with the same production quality, people like @Miki might just get confused and google where on earth Aizawl is..
So the top three teams (at least for this year) are not going to play in the top tier. And for a good 4-5 years. Nice. Really nice. And innovative too. But the problem will resurface when they start pro/rel. In fact it will multiply if a fouth club wins promotion.
The merger is coming this season With U-17 WC in October and Saff in December and January IMG have no other option but merge or else the calendar would become scrapped
Let's see what will happen
After Federation Cup we will know what will happen
