I agree with you Clu. The S league should not be formed in the
first place. In fact, teams like SAF is so much stronger than teams
like Gombak or Sengkang. There is no competition. In fact the
smaller clubs in S league will not have the determination to
perform better as they will not be affected much. They will just
receive less prize money and that's all.
However in the English premier league, it is a totally different
scenario. Teams like Charlton or Fulham, if they do not perform
well enough, they may be relegated and it really affects them.They
will be relegated in Division 1. Therefore they may try their best
and the club has the desire to achieve more buying better
experience players.
The clubs in S league however, do not have the resources to afford
players of that high standard. And every year, I always see the
same 12 clubs in the S league. If only,as you said the P league was
formed, Singapore is able to get enough resources to get just one
or two professional players and it will really make a big
difference. In this way, the resources are combined and better
players can be bought.
If that happens, I really dun mind, say travel to Malaysia just to
watch a football match. Wow, it really will be interesting. In this
way, playing professional football can help groom our local players
to player even better. Maybe Indra Sadan maybe the next Ruud Van
Nistelroy or Ahmad Latiff may be the next Beckham.
I really hope that more people can point out their views how
Singapore soccer can be further improved as being a Singaporean, I
really wish that my country is one of the best in Asian soccer,
overtaking the likes of South Korea and Japan. Maybe fans will be
cheering players like Lionel Lewis, Mohd Nor Alam Sham or Indra
Sadan
