Arrows is just a lip service by AIFF to the development of football, or a big advertisement of AIFF's inabilities to nurture youth football. Period.
Give me the budget of a Robbie Kean or Berbatov, and I will give you a full fledged youth league. I know signing big players is out of the clubs' budget and AIFF cannot do anything directly about it, but AIFF could have reduced the spend limit there and make it compulsory to earmark some amount for the clubs' development squads. Also, there is the issue of organisation, which the AIFF is poor in. But that is their headache to sort. Firing Dhar comes right into my mind. He is not doing anything save for drawing a fat salary.
Eb and mb's arrogance to match with isl teams costing them. They only wanted 5 foreigners in playing 11
and somehow both teams foreign recruits were average
teams like Minerva, Neroca have better players compared to big 2 and hence the title challenge by them is stronger. And incidentally ranjit Bajaj was against 5 foreign players, who’s enjoying his top spot now...
Spot on with that. The increase in the number of foreign players have improved the quality of IL games this season. I think there’s not much quality difference between IL and ISL. A merger with pro-rel at this point of time would only be a win win scenario for all parties involved.
more than one team will happen only after ISL 5 and merger with pro-rel I heard as per clause can happen after ISL 10. But I think that will be preponed to an earlier date after discussing with all parties involved.

Am sure this arrows team will continue the supply. Irrespective of what you say about AIFF, the Arrows initiative has really helped the country.
