Bengaluru FC making news after reports of the big leaving I-League and joining the Indian Super League(ISL) in 2017

It took only two years for ISL to reach the highest peak of Indian football since it started in 2014 whereas the I-League is nation’s recognized league but struggling to maintain the reach in the masses ever since ISL stepped up.
Owned by a Mumbai-based company, JSW Group, Bengaluru FC launched themselves in the I-League in 2013 and have already won the league twice in three years time under the guidance of former Manchester United academy graduate Ashley Westwood.

Replaced by ex-Barcelona assistant manager Alberto Roca for the upcoming season. The popularity of ISL seems to have played a part in their decision making to enter ISL. There are eight franchises participating in the ISL. From 2017, there will be two additional ones, taking the overall count to 10 franchises.
Also, the All India Football Federation(AIFF) having introduced three-tier league system, ISL being at the top of the club competition chart. Bengaluru FC is believed to be one of the two clubs making it to the ISL through the scheme.
Amidst criticism, The AIFF is not looking to introduce the system of promotion and relegation to the ISL for the given years. With this, The lower tier teams will not have a chance to play in the top-tier club competition, at least, until this rule has been changed.
With the speculations around ISL, entry and exit of clubs it will only add more tempo to the competition.
