IMG-Reliance is the Boss. Unless the Boss-Supreme Leader says anything, no merger will take place. Till then it is only rumour. IMG-R has always been silent on merger.
East Bengal, Mohun Bagan and new franchisees from Trivandrum, kozhikode, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Aizawl, Imphal and Bhubaneswar would be perfect.
Supporter based clubs:- then Neroca/ AFC/SLFC all have to be included and none of them can pay the annual bribe to IMGR....what happens there? How does Salgaocar figure? What happens in Mumbai...pretty sure essel group wont pay the bribe and they have a powerful supporter in Aditya Thackeray who has been present for ALL home matches (very far for an Indian politician)

This odd '9' teams with one team getting a bye every round looks so stupid. Sigh. I feel like I am having OCD
Aizawl in this league? Haha, they probably don't even have the money for half an ISL squad.
Conference system might be a good way
Maybe in the I-League but not ISL.
