So in Delhi, the interest level is so high in media, Recently one pre-match conference got cancelled at Delhi because there was only 1 journalist who came for it. That 1 also dont want to go
This is standard face saving exercise - we will focus on youth development. Pune FC, Bharat FC, DSK, Mahindra, JCT, Mumbai FC . Whenever any club is saying this youth development-it means shutter of shop is down forever.
Whenever any club is saying, we will build world class stadium, it means in few years, shutter will be down.
ATK withdrawing makes sense. With East Bengal looking to get entry into ISL next season, they are looking at an abject future.
Any new league needs to ensure the clubs are from India's football hubs and not forced entry of non feasibile franchises from regions where no one cares about football.
All clubs, including Franchise teams, were obliged to participate in AFC Licensing process. It is not any expensive process, just setting paperwork in order.
