I don't believe franchise bosses are internally too keen for a league which stretches beyond the 2nd window. Then Expiry Date Passed foreigners will demand more money & since so far the return is not as expected by them...they would somehow manage to hold a 3m league only.
getting foreign players reduced to 4 should help them signing them for more months.. e.g. reduction in 7 players salary ..yes signing 11 players for 6 months is nightmare
I agree. My personal belief is that it wouldn't surprise me if IMG-Reliance (mainly Reliance, Nita etc) thought they could do a 2-3 month league/tournament forever. It would be exactly like the IPL with 8-10 teams, 2-3 months etc. and that is it. I don't think they ever had any intention of making this league a "proper league" and that is why it seems with every article they are just guessing everything as they go along.
Let them first sincerely concentrate on the Federation Cup before all these antics. Otherwise this I-League euphoria will get them knocked out in Group stage. They will be playing at Cuttack & temperature & humidity will be too much a hurdle for them leave alone EB, Churchill & Chennai. They will feel the difference of playing in hills & coastal area.
