@shanks_dehighliving ; Was there any green light ever so that AFC will have to release official press release to refuse it? Who was harping on non-existent super cup and slots in AFC / ACL ? It was a figment of imagination or it was a proposal - who knows? But people here were already celebrating official status of ISL. AFC will release official statement only when they give something new or announce closure of something already present. They will not release anything to deny which was not there.
Still many unanswered questions are there. Wait till June 7th.
@AKB: this is not an advice, just a friendly suggestion...I do not try to give advice, though I am always receptive to it ...I have not criticized the two of you only, but also other members when I have found that they have violated the decorum IMO, although I may have missed some...cheers!
@ArsenalFan700 ; Still lot of uncertainity is there and we can only speculate till things clear up by June 7th. I read somewhere that JSW is planning a Bengaluru Franchise while maintaining BFC in I-league. Although in 2014, their bid was rejected but this time it might be accepted. In that case BFC should have no problem in AFC Cup. If both leagues run at different timings, this is possible. Again pure imagination..
The Indian Super League authorities will no more accept new bidders for inclusion of a new team next season onwards...
The operating authorities of the Indian Super League (ISL) have announced the close of the deadline to submit the 'Invitation To Bid' (ITB) documents for inclusion of new teams.
Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), who organises the ISL released a statement on Thursday, upholding the initial deadline of 5:00 pm on 25th May 2017.
Both Kolkata clubs, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan who play in the I-League have failed to submit their tenders within the stipulated time. As requested by both clubs earlier, the plea to extend the deadline through All India Football Federation (AIFF) General Secretary Kushal Das seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
The FSDL aim to add a maximum of three new teams starting from its fourth season in 2017/18. Bids were invited from ten cities - Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Cuttack, Durgapur, Hyderabad, Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Ranchi, Siliguri and Thiruvananthapuram.
A private auditing firm, Ernst & Young (EY) have been appointed to validate and evaluate the bids over the coming week.
Goal has reliably learnt that JSW Group, who own I-League side Bengaluru FC have submitted the tender from the Garden City. Tata Group too, is believed to place a bid from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.
