The Sustainable Development of Top-Level Indian Club Football - A Road Map, a 14-page document which @FIFAcom and @theafcdotcom sent to #AIFF (@IndianFootball) on Feb 17, 2018, clearly denoting that path ahead was a unified league, with 14 teams by 2020-21. @timesofindia

After sitting on it for 17 months - a year and half - the #AIFF (@IndianFootball) on July 26, 2019, says they can't implement the recommendations (timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/footbal…). What was stopping them, who is actually making these decisions that is killing #IndianFootball? @toisports
Authored by Alex Phillips (head of Asia-Europe Affairs, @theafcdotcom) and Nic Coward (Professional Football Consultant, @FIFAcom), the RoadMap fairly lists out the path for an egalitarian co-existence between @ILeagueOfficial (#ILeague) clubs and #ISL franchises. 3/14
Why was this document kept under wraps by #AIFF (@IndianFootball), simply refusing to act upon it, instead putting up a smokescreen before all the stakeholders, even as clubs were closing down all these two years? Did the #AIFF even share this blueprint with #ILeague clubs? 4/14
Everything is spelt out, deadline for parallel leagues (2018-19) and how system of promotion and relegation be introduced. @AizawlFC @ChurchillB_Goa @ChennaiCityFC @NerocaFC @eastbengalfc @Mohun_Bagan @GokulamKeralaFC @MarcusMergulhao @abir17in @NovyKapadia @realkashmirfc 5/14
