@DEFENCE123 problem is, money saving you from relegation isn't a good advertisement for football. And it would become very apparent if ISL and I League teams end up in same conference with money bailing ISL squads out. While an entire conference exempted from relegation is unfair, won't it be (at least on the face value) more hurting for an I League club if it gets relegated after finishing, say, 9th in a 12 team league, because last three are franchise squads?
There's nothing called I-League-ISL Merger and not going to happen anytime soon or later. Its just hogwash. Multiple such ideas have been floated but who looks at them?
If they wanted merger, they would have started a unified league from the start itself. IMG - Reliance was clear from the Day 1,when they signed the deal with AIFF, that they want their own IPL style league. In those days, their mouthpieces like Goal.com, Times of India used to write that Beckham is coming, Messi is coming !!
It's been 2 years since promise by AIFF to AFC that they will sort things out & nothing happened!!! Nobody asking & nobody cares... Everyone is getting their payment & all happy!
The news about AIFF's decision about proposing ACL spot to ISL came after one day of the event. Initially new was in their "MORE" section & then somehow they made it headline out of it.
On the contrary the articles like : "Aizwal's & Churchill's stand is wrong / EB & MB backstabbing other clubs" are headlines & got coverage more than 48 hours at same spot.... talk about sold media ...
Americans !! Americans own everything in Indian sports.
Goal.com is run by London based media company "Perform Group" which is owned by American equity and venture capital firm "Vista Equity Partners" HQ Austin, Texas.
While Disney own 60 channels of Star network and ISL,Pro-Kabaddi type leagues - the TV ads like PhonePe (Walmart), Amazon Pay is all american money poured into indian sporting broadcast.
@snep We were always selfish. I would want my club to look after itself and not for fucking Minerva or a Churchill. Indian football is dead, been dead for last 40 years and will continue to be dead. I will rather support my club than cheering for some ISL whores. There is no NT anymore, it's just some bunch of Reliance paid bhadwas. Btw, in the meantime, go fuck yourself!
