    I agree with @nameWTHeld<;div>I hate Venkys, but English football, in that respect none of the Indian club owners will be professional. Maybe Venkys can put some of their hard earned learnings here. But yes, I am still apprehensive</div>

    <br><div><br></div><div>Should not matter. India is not ready for true Pan-Indian football. You cant just have a team in Hyderabad, Bangalore etc until we know there is real potential for a team. Bangalore is close while Hyderabad is far away.</div>

    <br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes, I am also not in a support of a 'forced' pan Indian league. If football becomes popular then slowly it will catch up. Even cricketers used to come from few cricket strongholds, now with popularity its much more distributed.</div>

    <br><br>How can you blindly say Hyderabad is not good ?? Have you watched the local players ?? The State FA is not in right state or else Hyderabad was and would have been equally good as Bengal and Goan counterparts.AIFF has to force into the tussle and solve it and as for fans people of old city(muslims) are crazy if you organize matches in LB Stadium you'll see fans.<br><br>Everything is possible but only possible if you try or else you can leave it to be dead like it has been for last 7-8 years or so.<br><br><br>

    <br><br>If Mumbai Tigers are like really wealthy then they can hire the current White elephant of Mumbai(DY Patil stadium),but im sure the rent would cost a bomb(again being wealthy should not be a problem to pay till their stadium or whatever comes up).<br>
