Wage Crisis in Indonesian Football

Look at the Barclay Premier League in England, considered as the richest of all league. Look at Liga BBVA at Spain, three best player of the world including £80million Cristiano Ronaldo. And look at V-League club, Xi Măng Hải Phòng FC who is able to sign Denilson, former most expensive football player. What about ISL? Indonesian League?

Quite pathetic as I said. Most of Indonesian league club has financial and structural problem. For example in structural, most of the club in Indonesia have to travel by bus instead of using plane. It cost them stamina and performance in field.

Then, what recently happened in Indonesian Football is the player's wage status.

What's wrong with it? It seems that the clubs have problem paying player's wage to them. It's not sure whether it's the effect of global economic crisis or simply mis-management from the management. By the way, this crisis is everywhere, meaning, not only minor club suffer from this problem but also the big one. Persija Jakarta, one of the richest football club who has high quality prize also suffered from wage problem.Player's haven't got their 3months wage (as far as I know) untill now. The result of that, players played just because they have schedulle to play, they played for passion no more by the end of competition.

That's just one example. Most of the player who haven't got their wage have to stay in their club camp which usually in poor condition. Most of Indonesian player live in poverty nowadays because the club haven't paid them. Some even doesn't have money to buy their daily needs and they require help from other fellow players.

Why this problem even exist? As I said before, Global Economic Crisis might take parts of it. Another guess, corruption? Who knows. But, lack of managerial could be the main problem. This problem should be solved.

We can see minor foreign club still able to pay their player even in this dark economic time. What the club should do nowadays, probably they have to go public. Let public companies run them, because they might have more fund to spend for clubs. Unlike this time, when local government run the club. So, when fund from local government stucked, they merely have solution to resolve it.

Well, hope Indonesian football able to solve this problem. We need to, in order to create a competitive competition.

Plus, we have to: PROUD TO BE INDONESIAN.
