Will Indian clubs survive once they get relegated?

Investing in the game of football, especially in India is a risky startup. Which goes for years, every year you invest crores, with no return, no profit until you decide to break out from this relationship. High investment but no return! With the emergence of the Indian Super League, running a football club in India became little costlier. To maintain a certain standard, they owners have to invest alot. This certainly improves the overall structure of the clubs and the league but it empties the large chunck of the money. Franchise fee and it's weight on the club is heavy, 15 crores, just to have a permission to play. Then comes the money to build the team, facilities needed to be provided. It almost cost 30-40 crores, if you are building a top team. With no media rights, low support, no own stadium. You are on the losing streak, where you gamble to play more just to save the commitment. It is a harsh truth that no club is profitable in the league currently. BFC owner, Parth Jindal,...

Image
Yesterday, one loss was enough for Indian football fans to jump over ATKMB and the Indian Super League. Due to adrenaline rush, everyone came to instant conclusion and post match comments from the team management including the coach added butter to the fire. But, we need understand that one match can't define the standard of the league but can show the weaknesses. Why ATKMB failed to execute plans! - Inconsistency ! Yes, it is one of the major problem for any Indian Super League to perform well at the continental stage. League ended in march, players went home, then came back for the AFC CUP preperation. It hampers the continuity of the team preperation. Bengaluru FC is the other team which suffered due to this. Remember, they were in the I League when they qualified for the final of the AFC CUP in 2016. Gokulam Kerala FC is still in the I League, benefiting from the league as it ended a week before the AFC cup. It gave the team better consistency, plans could be execut...
