A special reports from Xinhua press CPPCC Member: Revival through Strict Management, Supervision 2006-03-10 15:30:47 Xinhua A Chinese political advisor has called for strict administration, public supervision and support for the resurrection of the ailing Chinese football. Self-discipline and stringent implementation of administrative measures are crucial for reining in match-fixing, collusion, group scuffle, gambling, drug taking, going whoring and other rampant scandals that have damaged the reputation of the football industry, said Yin Mingshan, a member of the Tenth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the top advisory body that is in a ten-day annual session in Beijing. Government institutions should reinforce supervision and guidance on the football market and purify the commercial sponsoring, while training of young football players should be greatly encouraged, Yin noted. Yin, an entrepreneur from southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, also pleaded for more tolerant and constructive media reports for the sound development of the game. He called on fans to return to the courts and continue support the football that is suffering the most difficult period. Yin's remarks came just before the start of the third season of China's scandal-plagued Super League this weekend. Chinese Football Association (CFA) director Lang Xiaonong has promised to "purity the Super League environment," and CFA chairman Xie Yalong told the clubs last month to mend their "sinful" ways or he would consider abandoning the league, according to media reports. Crowds last season shrank to an average of 10,500 per game and television ratings were down to a cumulative total of about 120 million, compared with the average attendance of 24,700 and the combined TV ratings of up to 500 million eight years ago when Chinese domestic football was at the peak of its popularity. "Chinese football is sick, but please do not discard it," Yin said.
I think the best way to revive the league is to present a better product on the field... hell I bet if all the chinese players want to committ "sins" and not concentrate on the game then just axe the foreigners rule and get a team of 23 south americans and eastern europeans... then we can show these cocky sobs that the players need the league and the league doesnt need them to survive - maybe they will finally wisen up and stop acting like big shots... then we can naturalize them and finally have a competitive national team as well =) IMO Japan has a better league, why is it that no Chinese players want to try to go out there and play with superior players?
I think that's because japanese don't think Chinese players are good enough for J-league~ That is Japanese
