The start of July has nothing been short of tremendous for the Stags after thrashing to both Albirex Niigata 5-1 & Woodlands Wellington 4-1 to rise to second position behind Home United.

The man most responsible for the feat was Stags Chairman ‘Godfather’, Teo Hock Seng.

After the shock 2-4 loss to Balestier Khalsa, at Toa Poyoh Stadium, in the Singapore Cup,  Mr Teo send the team a stinging letter to buck up.

Stags coach Vorawan Chitavanich admitted it had served as a wake-up call for the players as they were losing their organization & drive by that time.

He was also delighted that the players took the chairman criticism in the right spirit & respond to it after seeing how his entire team have contributed their best.
