April 2024 I felt stop watching #IndianFootball and June 2024 I quit.
I came back on X only due to recent @IndianFootball FSDL/MRA drama.
Time to quit again.
1. Leave SAFF
2. Stop Defensive Mentality
3. Improve Selection Process
4. Hire Quality NT Coach
5. Start ISL Relegation
This is the first time in the last 15 years that I have struggled to feel connected to the #IndianFootball Team. We have played some of our worst football in recent games and I genuinely don't know how this can continue.
What an S730 defence India have to secure a draw against the world-class higher-ranked Tajikistan side as part of the preparation for the SAFF "World" Championship.
@ShaktiBhat33985@IndianFootball One needs to work, not just talk.
ISL Clubs worked and they got the result while Incompetent & Corrupt AIFF must be sitting in AC Chambers sipping Tea, and now will also eat "Peanuts" thrown at them.
I can't trust "Franchise" Clubs.
Maybe #IndianFootball should've issued Short-Term tender in first place to give 5 yrs rights to Genius Sport or any other bidding Partner, rather than to ISL Clubs.
Just for peanut amount of 2 cr extra, @IndianFootball is selling its soul again.
๐จ EXCL: Major breakthrough in the ISL deadlock
โข Sports Minister backs club-led model
โข Clubs to pay AIFF โน1.1 crore each per season
Sources reveal that Praful Patel played a key role in resolving the standoff. @KhelNow#IndianFootball Details ๐

@jeskeyyy177666@CapitalsLad@IndianFootball Yes you are right, Genius has less "Experience" in Indian Football, so they shouldn't have given rights to own & operate ISL.
@jeskeyyy177666@CapitalsLad@IndianFootball Problem with people like you is that you change your own stance and topic.
You called me dumb by asking "Years of Experience". Now when I asked who has more "Experience" then you changed the topic by saying "Experience doesn't matter".
Hard to debate with such hypocrite people.
@deryll_dlima@IndianFootball Praful Patel (AIFF) screwed MRA with FSDL. If Praful Patel is interfering again and having more say then I fear that even new Agreement (Club-Led) will be heavily against AIFF & Merit (like MRA with FSDL).
Hope AIFF will not screw up MRA (Agreement) with Clubs, even for 4 years.
AIFF must ensure that "Franchisee Collegium" don't demand (extort) money from 'Small/Poor Clubs' to scuttle "Merit" (under Club-Led Operational Model)
@IndianFootball must ensure that only AIFF's "Participation Fee" and "Sporting Merit" is enough to play in ISL.
#IndianFootball
@MarcusMergulhao If DHFC fail to participate somehow why #ISL will continue with 13 teams ?
What's the ISSUE with @lajongfc ?
Why can't they PARTICIPATE as Runner-up ?
Just because if an ORGANIC club joins @IndSuperLeague it will be an issue for some FRANCHISES whose surviving with EMPTY ๐๏ธ ?
@QuarterColon@IndianFootball@kalyanchaubey After election, new President or Executive Committee can provide exemption by taking approval from AFC/FIFA. But if Relegation is part of MRA (Agreement) then even new AIFF will be obliged.
ISL Clubs may again cry & blackmail next year (against Relegation) in front of new AIFF.
After selling its soul again (for peanuts), if any self-respect, sanity & spine still remains in AIFF the atleast implement "Relegation".
@IndianFootball@kalyanchaubey make Relgation part of "Club-Led Agreement" (so that it won't change after new AIFF election)
#IndianFootball
ISL'S NEW MODEL
Each club to pay AIFF Rs 1.1 crore, for 4yrs. AIFF wanted upwards of Rs 20 crore
14 clubs; East Bengal wanted 16
Mohammedan Sporting relegated.
Diamond Harbour are in, but if they canโt participate, plan is to go ahead with 13 teams

@jeskeyyy177666@IndianFootball Does AIFF (since 1937) have more experience in Indian Football or Franchisee Clubs (since 2014)?
By your own logic of "Experience", then AIFF is best qualified to Own & Operate ISL.
Anyway, leave it. All these excuses are anyway accepted by Spineless, Incompetent, Corrupt AIFF.
@deryll_dlima@IndianFootball Issue isn't with Club-Led Model, but with the real intentions of these Clubs and what's going to happen in 2-4 yrs.
Trusting these "Franchise Clubs" is like trusting "Sankes".
AIFF missed the chance to take control (even for Short-Term) and ensuring that snakes don't bite ever.
It's a mockery of "Due Process" & "Democracy".
Blackmailing and Crony-Political Lobbying worked.
@IndianFootball AIFF, spineless & toothless body, again sold its soul for peanuts.
BJP Govt betrayed the genuine cause of #IndianFootball
"Created by the poor, stolen by the rich"

Men - 9th times SAFF Champion
Women - 7th times SAFF Champion
In 1997, AIFF knew they can't do anything good so they founded "Garbage" SAFF for "Dustbin" (SAFF Cup) farming.
#IndianFootball kissed "Dustbin" so many times, so please tell Asia/World how does "Garbage" taste like?

@IndianFootball Only in Indian Football, people will proudly kiss a "Dustbin" ๐คฎ
In Asia/World Football, SAFF is Garbage, and SAFF Cup is Dustbin ๐คข
Entire 'Govt Ecosystem' congratulating for "Garbage SAFF", is the cringiest thing I've seen in #IndianFootball
Lifting "Dustbin" (SAFF Cup) shouldn't be celebrated like World Cup.
Due to SAFF since 1997, @IndianFootball remained mediocre, while other nations progressed in Asia.
Heartiest congratulations to the Indian Womenโs Football Team on winning the SAFF Womenโs Championship 2026! Our women footballers displayed exceptional skill, determination and teamwork throughout the tournament. I am confident that their remarkable achievement will inspire young girls across the nation to pursue their dreams with confidence and courage.
Congratulations to the Indian Womenโs Football Team on winning the SAFF Womenโs Championship 2026. They have played excellently through the tournament. This will encourage more youngsters to play football in the coming times. Best wishes to the team for their future endeavours.
@mansukhmandviya Collecting "Dustbins" (SAFF Cup) won't help Indian Football
In Football, value of 'SAFF Cup' is same as "Dustbin" [especialy Men/Youth]
SAFF mean:
1. Change Focus
2. Celebrate Fake Championship
3. Hero Worship
4. Collect Browny Point
5. Fool Everyone
6. Stay Mediocre/Incomptent
