Yes I am sure the papers will love I-LEAGUES DEMPO SC WIN THE AFC PRESIDENTS CUP BY BEATING BHUTANS MSIJSIUBSIYBDYBYDB FC.
Seriously this just shows how bad we are. We were all complaining in November about us losing that AFC Champions League spot but now we know that we did not deserve it.
Dempo SC I think will do well in the AFC Cup next season. I hope the AFC dont allow us back into the Champions League till we improve our teams and system.
Should we keep on taking very difficult oppositions?
Pros - Experience
Cons - embarrassing defeat, alienating even the fans u got, moral shattering experience
Should we mix up our matches such that we do play some weaker opponents?
Pros - Sweet taste of victory, Media interest, getting some fans
Cons - Over confidence, hardly an improving experience
I feel Indian football needs to give some joy to its fans from time to time...thats why u got SAFF (which sud stay).... same for clubs i guess...i cant see them taking AFC challenge cup opponents, and with salary cap, not even AFC cup opponents

yes. Sadly the salary cap may lower our play in the AFC Cup but long term it will work out. Look at Australia again. Before they had no salary cap then they got it and now they are in the AFC Champions League. They still suck though in Asian Club football in terms of where they should be.
Yeah, so in that case, if we advocate salary cap we should forget about AFC competitions (maybe president's cup) for the time being
Maybe. Maybe we could do I-League champions get AFC Cup Qualifiers and Federation Cup champions get AFC Presidents Cup, straight away.
I say this because most likely Dempo will win the league and to me they already pass the salary cap whatever it would be. Plus they look the most likely to do well in it.
