Churchill Brothers and Aizawl FC, two former I-League winners, are among the six clubs who are currently up in arms against the All India Football Federation (AIFF), protesting the imminent move to grant the AFC Champions League qualifier spot to the Indian Super League (ISL) winners.
However, the stand taken by both these clubs should amuse the AIFF given that the two clubs are still continuing in the I-League courtesy of their mercy.
“We have contributed so much for Indian football, we have nurtured talent and we are all reputed clubs and you are telling us that we will be demoted to the second division, it doesn't make sense,” Churchill Brothers CEO Valanka Alemao was quoted by News18.
