Major loopholes in Indian Super League's quest to revolutionize football 

#2 No Relegation Battle

Even the Premier League regular Stoke City FC is not safe this season

Manchester City is currently sitting top of the English Premier League with 12 points clear of its nearest rival Manchester United. The dominance of Blue side of Manchester has put the end of premiership race with almost one-third of the season still to play for.

However, it is the relegation battle which has caught the excitement of the fans this time. Currently, mere 6 points separate the 10th placed Watford and the rock bottom Swansea City. Because of the huge premier league profits, the teams in the lower half of the table are desperate to avoid the drop.

It is the reason why this season has already seen 8 manager sackings. A lot of teams are pouring cash in the January transfer market as well to ensure their survival in the premier league.It is quite clear from the above-mentioned instance that relegation battle is a must for spicing up the league system.

The overall performance of a team in a league is motivated by two important factors; the charm of winning the league and the fear of the drop. Currently, there is no relegation system in the ISL which does not compel the teams at the bottom to perform better especially in the latter half of the league. Once the lower leagues are established, it will be a fun to watch the ISL until the last day.

The lower league teams when promoted will receive the chance to host some international celebrities in their cities or towns. There will be some teams in the ISL as well like Brighton and Bournemouth are there in the English Premier League. When people from the second and third tier cities of India see their local lads competing against the seasoned National players and some international World Cup players, they will remain ever enthusiastic for the fixtures. This development will improve the viewership of ISL greatly.
