[compro_1975]

China man now also own local football

 

[shodan99]

Let's hope he gets the job. A new broom sweeps clean. Anything is also better than the incumbent. I mean we can still do worst? Let someone else come in and try

 

[surfman]

He is the best man for the job
He is the only one in Singapore who put his money where is mouth is and invest tens of millions of dollars in lcs
Which other millionaire in Singapore do that before. Before him all take taxpayer money only.
As long as he manage to convince one more guy or company to take one more club private is job done alr

SINGAPORE – Tech billionaire Forrest Li has officially thrown his hat into the ring in the contest for Singapore football’s top post.

A spokesman for Li told The Straits Times on March 17 that the chairman of Singapore Premier League club the Lion City Sailors will be running for the role of president at the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) elections on April 28.

“Forrest Li has confirmed that he will be running for the FAS presidency, and he looks forward to sharing more about his team in the coming fortnight,” said the spokesman.

isnt this conflict of interest?

I hope he wins the election and not make up the numbers so as to make it grand and nice for the “appointed “ president.
If you put your money where your mouth is .
You deserve a shot at it !
Most FAS council members or ex-presidents only echo what is being on the agenda namely we can make it to the World Cup finals , Asian cup finals , ASEAN cup semi-final or Sea games semifinals.
We all know what is the actual result.
Only talk and shouting of slogans..

 

[unrealx262]

better than existing FAS president ... world cup kana **** upside down still say its ok small mistake we will do better again. repeat 20x

He has no qualifications

 

[Weaboo]

he has done more for sg football than peter lim or edwin tong

 

[Joseph12]

PAP only care that their position of power is not usurped.

If win something in football, make sure Gerry Wong is there to claim some credit.

Yes
In a way , true

 

[Joseph12]

He has no qualifications

Hope this is not the Moronic part where everyone has to take out his kindergarten and PSLE certificates

 

[eAtNeAt]

Wah money can buy trophies!

 

[gilcrest]

No
NRIC is not the issue

It's obvious
This role is like other roles

It's not up to the incumbent to decide on many things and issues concerning Singapore football and It's not for the incumbent to enjoy all the perks I'm sure FIFA will give to him EVEN if he donated shite load to Singapore football

What I understand for NSA president, Sports SG does have some say if they object to a candidate whe High Performance funding is at stake

 

[yesman2978]

No wonder, he up the base fees for Shopee now going to pump into S league

Later all the clubs need to do this during each month double date sales for shopee

 

[Nickypigu]

isnt this conflict of interest?

Why bother? Change the whole team of wannabes to the real deal is more important. Make it a FT all star team is still much better than sinkie wannabe team. Watch sinkie play really hurt your eyes.

 

[keagan2468]

How come no prerequisite to become FAS top man? At least minimum a FIFA coaching licence?

 

[ckt1978]

Later all the clubs need to do this during each month double date sales for shopee

i rather he do this n live telecast all sg matches on varius media to widen support for sg soccer, widen grassroot support .
as least got effort n earn money for both sponsors and clubs.
every1 earn $$ then the soccer club got $$ to run the business.
no 1 just pump $$$ for the sake for pumping money.
at least he not the fxxking glazers. load club w loans then give out dividends to himself.
