Do you think there is still hope for the S-League?
-
do u?
-
What is S League?...
-
u hoping for it to shut down ?
-
Haha yeah. Stop wasting money on s league. I got a suggestion is maybe Singapore team can join other league in Europe to ply their trade there juz like wat Sinchi n Albirex did in Singapore.Originally posted by sgboy2004:u hoping for it to shut down ? -
maybe few years back still got alot of people supporting s-league but now i think hard for the s-league already man...
-
Two words! Forget It!
-
no hope.
-
really that jialat meh??
-
form feeder teams and play in J-league, K-league, C-league.....hack, even the Brunei league also can
-
i see that all the teams in the S-League less than 50% of the players are singaporeans.
-
never watch, no interest....
-
yes of course. there is always hope. but the fas must work towards that hope and not just sit and do nothing.
organisational structure and management of the s-league needs to be changed.i don't like the idea of all these foreign teams coming in to play. first its sinchi then nigata and now potentially planet football? its supposed to be the s-league....not some chapalang league. -
Let's be realistic. In Singapore, we can have a very strong league, ONLY if there is money pumped into it.
Look at the clubs: All the powerful league clubs in Europe are all supported by millionaires. They pump in the money into the club and they got themselves into the board of directors.
In Singapore, what do we get? ONLY sponsorship. If there is low turnout, there is low sponsorship and that means lower pays for players.
Look at the players: 50% of the players in Europe will not have to look for another job because they are all WELL-PAID. This means that they can concentrate FULLY on soccer and not moonlighting. It's obvious that those footballers who moonlighted in the past did not perform well in the field. eg. David Ginola.
How much is a Singaporean player paid? $1,000? $1,500? $2,000? If I have a family do you think $1,500 is good enough? Try giving them $3,500-$4,500 and see if they will work their life out!
As I have always mentioned to my friends, in Singapore, there is NOT WAY for locals to improve their sports unless the government supported first without return. Eg. the French government supported French soccer team and they really won the World Cup.
In Singapore? 'Sorry, you have to SHOW RESULTS BEFORE WE SUPPORT YOU!' What results can Singapore team show when ALL the players are not well-paid and well-treated?
The reason why foreign player perform better is that they are:
1) Paid better
2) Have already went through hardship in their homeland and with that hardship they learn good basic sport skills
Of course they will do better than the locals! Ask Indra Shadan migrate to England and I can tell you he will make it to at least first team opportunity with, say, Crsytal Palace.
In short, let me say it's a MONEY issue. Let's admit it. Money DOES improve any sports. Looks at Chelsea. We need 'Roman Abramovich' in Singapore. -
S-League??
u mean Stupid League??

I don't know....after we exit from the Malaysia cup, it seems all down hill from there
