Without drawing any comparison with MB/EB, Fan support is critical in building a brand that is BFC. It will be interesting to see how their owners will sell their ISL idea to fans.
IFA will soon break off Aiff. Goans clubs, NE clubs and Kolkata clubs will affiliate themselves to the new FA. Mamata Banerjee would be heading it. Idea is to get India suspended by FIFA. Once Aiff makes an official announcement, balls will start rolling. WC final would be a disaster in Kolkata, working group is being formed to ensure that.
Also atk can't play in Kolkata if the government doens't give them stadiums. Also, there will be no league 1.
The hard truth is at this point the kind of state I-League is in, the model of Lajong & Aizawl is the ideal one. No sponsor will spend 10 crores on an I-League team. Now EB has a sponsor, they would like to explore the possibilities in ISL. There is a chance of recuperating atleast some amount of money in ISL.. MB is a different thing. It's very hard to differentiate fact from fiction there.
