<br><div><br></div><div>Well again we can never expect to much from NPL. Even I admit that I overrated it but in around 3-5 years the NPL players and league will be one of the best in India. CFL and GPL needs a change in format. Karnataka needs a real state league, same with Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala and Punjab. </div><div><br></div><div>As for the Santosh Trophy, I agree. Right now again promotion/relegation can not happen because all of the 2nd Division teams are either far from quality, far from professional or are PSUs. Honestly I would like to see Air India FC and ONGC FC just separate and form a PSU League. Leave the top-tier of Indian football to the real teams. It can bring in some very nice youth players.</div>
