Did the AIFF fail the I-League?

A cursory look at the ISL teams and the amount of money involved is palpable to the naked eye. Bollywood, former cricketers, industrialists and the who’s who are behind each team in the ISL. Standing up to the immense financial power of these clubs is next to impossible. Thus, it would have been a completely unfair league wherein the rich clubs would have made merry, leaving the traditional clubs in a rut.

The players would have made a dash for the better package and the traditional clubs would have perished eventually. Before waiting for the ignominy to befall, it is a pragmatic call taken by the Goan clubs.
