I don't see why not, but he'll have to be Malaysian, which is going to be highly unlikely. gahmen problem I guess.

foreign player no. use foreign personnel to help improve our football yes. as in coaches, trainer and the way to help improve our system in the way of how we gonna develope football at Malaysia.

i dont think its the coach or the trainer at fault here. the player dont show any commitment to do wat they are told to do. training a bit tough complain. they dont show the initiative to improve themself as a player. try ask what is their diet is? and finally the coach or the trainer didn't hav the final say of who gonna play and who is not gonna play. why hatem soussi,claude le roy or others that been here to malaysia b4 have great success when they coach other country?

I'll assume that you're mostly talking about chinese parents. I've heard from some people, if you're a chinese, no matter how good you are you will find it very difficult to get into the state teams, much less the national team. Its stuff like that that's killing football around here - politics and connections are more important than real footballing skills.

the problem is still down to mentality of the players and also the management,

we might get a strong team now (if we get the right foreign players), but what will happen when the bunch of foreign players retires ?

we start the loop again ?

for the poll, i say NO.

i actually can't agree with the words that Chinese aren't allowed to play state and national football because of politics and claim that the sport is 'owned' and managed by the Malays. what a lame reason. people who say that are the ones who don't really follow or never watch Malaysian football at all.

as far as i know, Chinese and others like Indians have all been given fair and equal chances with Malays to play for the state and national teams. the reason why Malays are monopolizing the sport is because many of them are willing to give up other jobs or commitments. their parents are supporting them. but i can also see a very good number of other races especially Indians who play full time and managed to get into the top teams and the national squad itself.

it's actually not about races at all, but rather depends on individual's preference. won't blame some or maybe most of the Chinese parents for disallowing their kids to fully commit to football career, coz that's their own choice, their rights. so please stop pointing ur fingers to the Malays or any other races.

its because of the state of the current condition the football league is now in, that is why most chinese people stay away from it. can you seriously make a living out of it?

no offense to the chinese or other people. chinese people typically plan for the future and not for the moment, hence they prefer to go into business or more stable jobs (where pay is guranteed every month). not to say that the other people dont plan at all la.

most of the state team or clubs team have to depend on FAM to bail them out or wait for FAM financial aid and such. there is even news report that players have not been paid for months.
how are you going to survive? especially so when those footballers have families to support?

Well, the real reason why we are so crappy is bcoz of FAM
