Will Nita Ambani give speech at the end of this new league?

I think it's high time someone should go to international sports arbitration  court against AIFF. Ileague clubs , if they have blls should unite and go against AIFF and pull them to court.
Enough is enough for these f*. This just happens when people are only thinking bout Indian cricket nd try to mnge other sports similrly

EB , mb should concentrate on IFA league and IFA should have balls to run it parallels to isl

Some people are hell bound in killing Indian football and no one shouts. Such nonsense is going on. I m starting to hate Indian football after following for 30 yrs.
Be it India team selection to ileague to isl, it seems Indian football is private property of some individuals

I don't believe they are but certainly the standard of journalism for them has gone down lately. The second article does make sense though.

Bad decision. The only positive thing is we can see good matches for Kerala blasteres in Kochi against mb,EB,BFC etc

Marcus describes the suggestion as a "Super Cup" which makes me believe that it will be the top 4 from ISL and top 4 from I-League going into a cup competition (as proposed already in the past). I imagine it will be 2 groups of 4 (group consisting of 2 ISL and 2 I-League sides) in which top 2 qualify for semi-finals and then the final will determine the place of the AFC Champions League/AFC Cup spot. I imagine the other spot will go to the I-League (probably the ACL spot with AFC Cup going to this Super Cup).

This does make the expansion fee useless for ISL unless there are other ways for IMG-Reliance to convince people to invest in ISL over I-League.
