Cant imagine that FAM did reverse their stand on foreign players playing in Malaysian league. But Im sure the ruling is not going to serve the Malaysian football standard any better. I thing they have put the nation on dismay. What FAM should have done actually is to study how to bring back the fans. Of course with modern games and ASTRO spoiling tje football league in the country, FAM found it difficult to gain enough money to pay the players let alone the foreign one. But the reverse will not improve Msian football. When we mix politic and religion with football, then thegame will suffer. One may asked why is it so important for football clubs in the UK or Europe scrambled to buy players, top or otherwise but the story is the reverse in Msia. Will all the hypes and announcement, it will leads to spur the fans, the supporters and eventually leads to increase in season tickets sale. The Club will try and buy players simply s marketing plans to boost tickets sales and merchandise. What we have in Msia is not very encouraging. We dont encourage fans to travel simply because the holidays are not synchronise! Sunday is a working day in Ktan and trengganu as well as kedah, so how do you expect for them to travel and follow their teams? Cant afford to take holidays the entire seasons! Bus companies will not thrive, hotels will not be able to do extra business, stadiums will not be filled!
FAM and state government must go back to the drawing board, Think how to bring back the fans, how to fill up the stadiums. Donot politicised football! Think football as an industry! We have a lot to gain, we can improve the economy and bring back the glory of football in the country and malaysia's reputation as a footballing Nation.
