Saw some comments on closure of PSU teams and some clubs.
Which reminds me, even in I-League, we have more direct entrants now.
Gokulam Kerala, Chennai City, Punjab FC, Sudeva Delhi, next year Sreenidhi. Real Kashmir is a new club (2016).
Only 3 Northeast clubs (one won't be there next season), Churchill and Mohammedan have some history.
Of the 10 teams (Arrows excluded), only 4 clubs are in the league without receiving any favour from AIFF - NEROCA, TRAU, Real Kashmir & Mohammedan. Churchill got direct entry while Aizawl was exempted from relegation once. The 4 others are corporate entries.
