Just days are rumors spread that the Jaguars current season could be their last for a while. The western-based club came out with news that they are on the verge of lining out a combine $1.3million sponsorship deal with 2 sponsors.

Mathew Kang, Jaguars chairman, is unwilling to reveal much at the moment but promised that all will be out within the next month or so.

He claimed 1 of the deal is a $1million 2 years deal with 1 sponsor while the other is another $300000 with another sponsor secured for next season.

The good news will certainly blow away any dark clouds that was forming over the Jaguars after FAS new head Prof Ho reveal more foreign clubs could be joining the S-league next season

He also wishes the public to understand as a reason of the late admission by the Jaguars to join the S-league they could only signed 'leftover' players. Also not helping was that their coach Malaysian Moey Yoke Ham quit after 1 game in charge.

However now with Moroccan Karim Bencherifa in charge the Jaguars are looking for a brighter end to the season especially after collecting their first point against the Swans at Jurong East Stadium.

He also cannot believe his team are not have the abilities to finish in the top half of the table as defender Ratan Suffian & keeper Ridhuan Fatah are returning from Champion Home United during the transfer window. Also the club are on the lookout to sign top ranked foreigners to replace their current batch.

The critics can say what they want but Jaguars chairman Mathew Kang is certainly not staying still & waiting for what the critics are claiming to come true.
