Chinese Football
Conlcusions
If they can sustain the losses in the short term, hiring at high prices might attract other players
-
Growing the CSL is a means to gain credibility however from the steps towards regulation it feels like this is subordinate to development
Seems like they should forgo the prestige of the league and bring in wider regulation, akin to an MLS model
Caught in an in between moment as they have a quasi N.American bit of regulation but the open leagues and no restrictions on players
Clearly adopting a quasi North American model is a longer term approach and provides some sustainability
Transitioning either into or out of one model and into the next will be very difficult, in essence they have already made this decision
Given the desire and reliance on private investment, providing some incentive to owners would be good where there are no substantial TV deals
Quotas
-
Foreign player quotas, 5 allowed, 3 on the pitch at anyone time, down from 4
Impact of quotas
The league is trapped in a cycle of highly paid players not having an incentive to move abroad and develop skills in better league as they would face lower wages
-
The inflated prices of the Chinese players makes the relative prices paid for foreign players more understandable
A lack of domestic talent means the wages for Chinese players are inflated alongside big name foreigners
2 domestic youth players now have to be in every game, 1 starting

What is going on
China has developed significantly as a country over the past 30 years, now a global power
Football has mirrored this rise, now seen as a key aspect to the country's prestige and projection of soft power (Tan + Barrier, 2010)
Aggressive spending investors domestically and abroad, repatriating knowledge to help build the football and CSL
Application of models
North American
Outline of model
Drafts, salary caps, spending limits, roster sizes and quotas
