#2 This move would nevertheless benefit Indian football, with the grassroots football schools
Clubs which have a rich history, go a long way in the community outreach programmes. Their connections with the masses are something unforeseen. None of the newbies of the ISL fraternity would match up to such a massive presence in the state.
Thus, the faith reposed on these clubs is immense. Experienced staffs, who are abreast of the grassroots conditions, contribute significantly in developing the youth. Modern clubs might have all the money but not the public trust. The Indian youth would prefer the proven talent of an Indian club, rather than venturing into unknown foreign shores. Ultimately, for the greater good of Indian football, these clubs with their football schools, nurturing Indian talent, would impart better success stories than haggard, foreign players of the ISL.
