As per AFC and FIFA I-league is the recognised league. ISL is unrecognised. This point has been repeated thousands of times. MB, EB going to ISL will not make it legitimate. Fully agree with PP and Marcus there. There was some misinformation that just because some ISL teams can play in Super Cups, it is recognised. Which ISL team will play in Super Cup? For that also, AIFF will have to clear their AFC or National Criteria which they do not clear at this moment. Or ISL will have to be given status of 2nd, 3rd division to qualify the Cup tournament as legit, that is also not there.
A bigger questioon is that why is ISL shy of satisfying any AFC or National criteria? What are they hiding? So many years have passed. Why they want to persist on illegal status?
1. don't forget that last year they(Aizawl) were relegated and it was AIFF who reinstated them, at their request. This kind of negativity about AIFF approach is unfair and unjustified.
2.The I-League coverage (this season) has been much better.
like seriously?
above all , it appears to me Prafool has been answering for both sides so that after AFC will announce their decision on 24th/25th they need not face grudge
e.g. at one point he said" There is no reason to fear." and while answering to other question " the best players will play in the ISL" he said Best players can emerge out of nowhere which means if by chance ISL gets BFC/MB/EB and main players will play in ISL and that is the end of story (I league teams will have to cope up with that)
also why Marcus is so adamant in asking question about" i league will be given 2nd division status" , obviously PP has not given any clear answer as he know media will present it as some sort of official version from AIFF

Look at this one

According to some people the interest shown by corporates is very high
