@90ndstoppage Come on. Is this all that was discussed. The spice is missing.

[FC Goa Fan Club @fcgoafanclub]

@narendramodi Dear Modi Ji, please pay attention at the football leagues in the country. hundreds of players are out of contract due to uncertain future of the league. The future of the investors and the clubs is uncertain. More importantly, the football fans in India deserve better.

[HariStr @hari_substr]

Actually curious. @ravi_804 and @dsood92 , while all this being said:

News of unpaid salaries and financial issues at multiple clubs, how are they going to manage? As much as the Federation are being asked I believe there is an amount of uncertainty here as well

“The clubs believe that the current market conditions do not accurately reflect the intrinsic value and future growth potential of ISL. Entering into a long-term equity or rights transaction at today's valuations risks permanently undervaluing one of Indian sport's most important assets.”
-- Ravi Puskur, FC Goa CEO

[HariStr @hari_substr]

The federation and players in the system both are good at it. Some of them are getting exposed due to certain people's specific agendas. New day new ways to entertain the world.

What happens after 2 years then? Same round of uncertainty again?

[Marcus Mergulhao @MarcusMergulhao]

* Clubs' pilot model for 2yrs, AIFF to receive Rs 15 crore annually for rights

* Open to engaging with Genius, pleased to offer first preference for data rights

* Entry fee of Rs 1 crore “proposed unilaterally by AIFF” and not accepted by any of clubs

Should give credit to GPT for the punch lines at the end and the punctuations and overall beautification. 🙃🙂

One side desperately trying to make a space to bring back their godfather. The other one is least interested in doing their job yet wants money.

ISL BID: A TWIST TO THE RIGMAROLE

Amidst confusion over the lack of players’ contracts and calendar for the new season, the ISL clubs have reportedly stepped up their offer to acquire the commercial rights of the ISL. According to sources, the ISL clubs have proposed a two-season deal to run the premier league with a guaranteed amount of Rs. 15 crores per season to be paid to the AIFF. The offer is two crores more than the one the AIFF currently has on hand.

With the highly inflated players’ payment market of Indian football currently witnessing a downfall only comparable to the Wall Street crash of 1929 and several clubs publicly threatening a shutdown, the practicality of the said offer may raise serious doubts among many in the fraternity. But the Zen Buddha-like calmness (read inactivity) of the AIFF bosses in response to the emergency situation has not helped the cause.

Hope the AIFF wake up from its slumber and engage into a serious dialogue with the clubs when they are expected to meet on Thursday.

Dear World,
Indian media will not show you this. Tens of Thousands of People are protesting now (Sunday, 19th April, 10 PM) in Manipur to fight for Justice. Modi can't silence us. No Justice, No Rest. 🙏😢💔

[Licypriya Kangujam @LicypriyaK]

Dear World,
This is Manipur today at 10 pm IST (18th April 2026). We are facing war like situation since 2023. And international community & India failed to address the Manipur Crisis. Over 200 people killed, over 60,000 people lost their homes. Manipur deserves justice now. 😢🙏

@saysarun The fans are just fed up with everything that has happened over the years. I am talking about the general feeling here. If journalists start measuring loyalties based on their own parameters then there is nothing much to say here.

[HariStr @hari_substr]

@saysarun if the same commitment is not seen on the field then obviously why struggle so much and go. Some of the matches we play look like we haven't touched the football in decades when there are teams who play better with 3 days of preparation.....

@VAbdurahimanOff @keralafa
Shame on you if the club shifts bases/home matches because of lack of support. Keep bringing Argentina while clubs in your state run away. (Oh athum nadathan patilla🤣)
So called system which is doing more harm than good.
