The only
good things to come out of S-League Strategic Business Unit (SBU) were news
that they are bracing themselves for a double departure. It was revealed that
S-League chief executive officer (CEO) Chan King Fook
& director of projects Ronnie Teo will both quit
their posts
Sources
revealed that Chan will relinquish his position at the end of the year, after
he decided not to renew his 2-year contract with the Football Association of
Sim — who restructured
the S-League from 12 to 10 clubs — resigned just eight months into his job last
October, saying that his work was
done. (The reduction of local clubs had
a practical reason but there is no defending the funding of foreign clubs as
those clubs can go if they felt that it is not finically possible to run a club
in the S-league & should NEVER take funding)
