Good that the owners support the merger.. A few months back Mumbai City CEO said this:
"I believe it is inevitable that all these leagues start increasing their tenure because as they get more sponsors and investors to fuel the leagues, we can’t be there for three months and disappear. We need to engage fans throughout the year. So we are hoping ISL will graduate from three months to six months in future. However, that is not in our hands. What is in our hands is to continue to participate in grassroots initiatives to sustain brand recall throughout the year."
Why would isl clubs talk about any model when most of them are owned by Reliance themselves? Bengali media has now confirmed whatever gaffertape has said earlier. The meeting is an eye wash, hope EB MB walk the talk. Both have threatened to go to court and involve fifa if left out of top tier.
Expect today's meeting (script is already written...I suppose) will finally bring the cat out of the bag for those who still think IMG-R & AIFF are doing a great job wrt promotion of Indian Football. Expect lodes of dislikes from the Circus lovers.
I guess I count as that since I am not really opposed to the "proposed idea" and I honestly don't care about the supposed "rich history" of the current I-League sides other than guys that will/are already working with ISL.

Let the Games Begin !!
Of course, it's survival first. But aren't these related?
When is the meeting? Waiting for @gaffertape 's inside news ...

Ha ha ha..I never mentioned "rich history".......but nice to see that truth couldn't be hidden.
'No promotion from 2nd tier to 1st tier'
Wtf is wrong with these people? The politicians of AIFF are trying very hard to get a BAN from FIFA.
IMGR and AIFF.. We know u r dumb , but dont create a whole new level of dumbness. Pathetic!
