We should ban all foreginers in ISL to save indian football why only Target I league.
I am with you on worst treatment of Ileague clubs all this while. But now it is officially the second tier. We need to forget the past and try to do what's best for Indian football nothing personal!
We need a bigger pool and players should prove themselves! It's ok to have 5 Indian starters in ISL.
But the second tier should field all Indian players and only the best can move upwards! This will put the quality down as currently we don't have a big player pool but in 4-5 years we will start seeing consistent results.
Foreigner policy should be the same for all level leagues. Without foreigners, lower leagues will not draw viewers, and hence sponsors. Plus, local players would lose the chance to brush with better players. The now-defunct Hockey India league was a case in point. It did wonders to the confidence level of the Indian players.
If you want to increase the player pool, just increase the number of teams in all levels, if AIFF has that stamina to push it through.
All I am saying is increasing the team def will help have a bigger pool. But even if we allow 2 foreign players the striker position gets filled. I also understand the point of players getting the exposure. But we needed better coaches than foreign players in my opinion. And the more the Indian players have game time under their belt the better it is. AIFF does realize this that is why they banned foreign players from I-League 2. We the fans should also get behind our local players. If we will only get sponsorship money by having other players it's not a good culture. I-League clubs together have to believe in hiring good coaches, building good training infrastructure. This will only improve our level. I know I will get all the hate. A lot of the credit to our current players has to go for some good coaches we had in ISL recently. We should just allow more players to "Play, Play under quality coaches, play under good conditions". Indians also will get paid better in I-League if foreign players are taken out of the equation. Will be an incentive for players to try I-League than rot the bench in ISL.

There should be quota system on positions like 1 striker, 2 Midfielders, 2 defenders, 1 GK.
