KLFA Crisis: Its time for privatisation in football

1. Once well known for football factory of Malaysia, constant supplier for top sides in top flight Malaysian football, also winning cups for fun in the late 80's, Kuala lumpur can be considered as a very respectable team competing in our Super league.

2. Based in the klang valley, the most populous province in the country, kuala lumpur or also known as K.L for locals, always producing young and exciting talents for decades. Rashid Hassan (GK), Subadron Aziz, Shahrin Majid, Azrul Amri Borhan, Azman Adnan, Lim Teong Kim and a lot more.

3. But recent financial crisis revealed by the current KLFA president is very shocking, saddening and very hard to believe. But i have in the past, talking about this issue and i thought that we need to change the way we run our football clubs, on and off the pitch.

4. Please no more to over reliance to the state government or in this case over dependant on the city hall's funding. For us to move into profesionalism, clubs or FAs must have a corporate structure designed to obtain financial profitablity in the long run. Clubs must portray themself as a company, earning revenue from ticket sales, merchandising business, commercial ads, as well as corporate ventures with main sponsors so that they can sustain,operationaly at least.

5. To achieve this kind of mentality, clubs or FAs must amend their institution to make way for privatisation to take charge. Clubs to be owned by a corporation, a private limited company. An ambitious corporation will place a very comprehensive corporate planning for the football club, and this will lead to proper budget with the target solely be on achieving financial profit and football glory on the pitch.

6. There are more to be disscused on this privatisation idea, but this KLFA crisis could be a blessing in disguise. I Hope a passionate football investor will come forward and offer himself/themself to take over the KLFA. We need this changes, it has started with JOHOR CORPORATION FC or also known as JOHOR FC in the south. But in greater picture, we need all teams to be privatized.
