  But pingpong got no return mah... No Tv deals, no huge sponsorships, no gate collections, no CL prize money... Somemore we must pay for all their stuff like housing, training, bring their family here, help look after them, all that stuff...  

  But pingpong is easier to manage lah... Just put any ah lian as president and leave it to auto run can liao...

  I was thinking too...maybe our Temasek Holdings can buy one of the smaller clubs - eg: Bolton - since their home uniform is all white like PAP. Given its a small club, outlay is not that high - then they can install a foreign coach / manager and put in ex-Army officers in the management. Then get them to play in Singapore every year (to occupy a bit the new sports hub lest it gathers cobwebs). And with the cash injection, they can target a top five finish and Europe wow...

  I was thinking more on any of the division 2 teams cuz they are not too costly to buy and then in time turn it from a third word team into a first world champion or champions.This is what the  PAP is good for rite?

  It would be one helluva dream when all of Singapore only support the best team in the EPL (owned by SIngapore of course)
