Even today, how many in China play globally competitive sport - or can find weather conditions that allow them too year round?johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-38342001881791900862009-04-11T08:59:00.000+10:002009-04-11T08:59:00.000+10:00i think that eventually, the a-league should be ab...i think that eventually, the a-league should be able to offer salaries at about the AFL level, maybe a bit higher but not much more. <BR/><BR/>with a population of 20 mil, we can have good ground attendance averages, but we`ll never have the kind of tv revenue that china, japan or korea can generate. <BR/><BR/>so we`ll always be small fish financially. <BR/><BR/>luckily, the game isn`t all about money. i am guessing that there would be more money floating around west asia, with all that oil money etc. but recently east asia has been on top. another eg. porto really took it to manu last week. <BR/><BR/>japan is lucky in one way, their players generally aren`t good travellers. a lot of talent has stayed in the j-league that could have played in europe. <BR/><BR/>claytonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
