Wei Di was appointed last month after his predecessor Nan Yong was arrested following a clampdown on gambling and match-fixing.

Over 20 officials, players and club managers have been detained over the last few months with police and the CFA eager to clean up the image of the much-maligned Chinese Super League.

"I think the only way to win back the public's trust is solid and consistent progress of the league, the national team and the development of the sport at the grassroots level," said Wei. "If I can't fulfil my duty, I will resign.

"The professional league has suffered because of these problems. Soccer fraud was first exposed in 1997 and more matching fixing and gambling followed.

"Everyone responsible for the sport should be blamed for the shame.

"I have to admit our management system and operation mechanisms are out of date in professional soccer and are the main reasons for the misconduct and scandals."

Wei is also eager to improve the standing of the national team with China, who failed to secure a place at this year's World Cup in South Africa, currently 87th in the FIFA world rankings.

"During my term of office I want to do something down to earth," he added. "I hope our men's national squad can return to the top level in Asia."

Wei confirmed the 2010 Chinese Super League - due to get underway in mid-March - could be delayed with preparations having been thrown into disarray due to the arrests of a number of top officials.
