Whatever, as long as Tsun Dai doesn't play for Hong Kong I don't care who on earth the SOB plays for.
https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kon...ammed-legislative-council-its-poor-governance HKFA slammed by Legislative Council for its ‘poor governance’ The Hong Kong Football Association has come under fire again for its poor governance, with Legislative Councillors slamming the association committee members for its continued absence from meetings for a period of up to four years. Lots of criticism in there. Sometimes I do believe the HKFA are doing everything they can, but sometimes I think they are not really bothered. You could say fire everyone and start over, but I wonder who would want the jobs? Very little pay and the people are very hard to please.
New Southern head coach Rehman in hot water after appearing in exercise video produced by the Western Police Station Rangers undecided on 2020-21 season return, intend to sign Lam Hok Hei R&F apply to return to Yanzigang Stadium
Kenneth Kwok was one of the candidates who applied for the head coach role vacancy of the Hong Kong national football team early last year which eventually went to Mixu Paatelainen. Sadly, the HKFA decided reject him due to his lack of experience.
Now that Eastern have the deepest squad in the league, you knew that eventually some players would leave for playing time. The news today suggests that Tsang Kam To, Tse Long Hin, Wu Chun Ming. Lau Hok Ming, Yiu Ho Ming and Chen Hao Wei will all leave the club before the season restarts. In particular, Wu will be loaned back to his old club Pegasus.
Lee Man have reached agreements for Michael N'Dri, Shapoval, Acosta and Gil and in addition, they have also secured Yuto Nakamura who spent the entire season on loan to Tai Po from Kitchee SC.
CEO Paul Woodland resigns amidst corruption scandal at the HKFA. The latest twist in the scandal alleges that former Elite Development coach Sam Bensley was under qualified for his position but was advised not only to apply, but to ask for more than the Jockey Club's allotted salary for the position.
http://paper.wenweipo.com/2020/05/26/SP2005260021.htm Tai Po FC is in financial trouble (again). The latest news is that Tai Po FC will pull out of competing in the remaining matches of the season. That means only 6 clubs will compete for the 2019-20 HKPL title. Head coach Fung Hoi Man has already left the club.
The HKFA held a press conference today to clear the air about their recent corruption allegations....or at least, that was the plan. Instead, Pui Kwan Kay took the opportunity to express outrage at the whistle blower who disclosed to the media that Sam Bensleys actual credentials were different from those on his application. What was more egregious was that Pui spent eight minutes railing against someone named Philip (probably Lap Lap) for circulating an email against the Premier League clubs that they should consider breaking away from the league and forming their own league without the HKFA's involvement.
So interestingly enough, the HKFA announced a U-23 and U-19 training squad from 1st June to 20th June even though the reason is not known considering that both sides failed to qualify for the next edition of the AFC U23 and U19 championships. Anyways, here are the list of players named for the training camp.

Always been corrupt mate. It's just that thankfully – for now at least – there's an Audit Commission to hold them to account and shine a light on their corruption.

Tai Po and Yuen Long now have 14 days to decide whether they will participate in the 20-21 Premier League. Just can't see how they'll secure sponsorship in time.
http://paper.wenweipo.com/2020/05/30/SP2005300009.htm There is a debate on whether the 2020 AFC Cup has already begun, if it has, then Tai Po's withdrawal will not bring a replacement; but if it hasn't, the R&F FC, who has already secured a AFC Club license, then may get to replace Tai Po in Group I.

Chan Siu Ki has retired from professional football, as reported by Offside. Unfortunate. The man could have been a real superstar and the all time leading HK scorer. Derailed by his work ethic and personal life.
