The three, and Amol discuss what lies ahead for the ISL and Indian Football, how prepared clubs are to deal with the relegation and promotion that will soon become a part of Indian Football, and also the impact of COVID on not just clubs, but also players, who after all are human beings and are feeling the effects of playing a tournament in a bio-bubble.
