Already facing a tough fight to stay in the S-league
it now appeared doom for the club as Tanjong Pagar United chairman Mathew Kang resigned less than a year
after taking over the reins at Queenstown Stadium.
Kang, 43, informed
Football Association of
He said this year
has been a roller-coaster ride. I gave it my best shot pumping in money into Tanjong Pagar & roping in a
number of good friends to help but somehow, it seemed to be heading anywhere. Therefore
enough is enough. I have decided to move on & give someone who might have
more vigour, & perhaps more financial clout, to
take over.
Meanwhile Kang has
recommended his deputy, vice-chairman Edmund Wee, to
take over.
His regret as he
departs is not living up to the promise he made to the fans to bring back the
glory days he felt he left the club in good hands & will continue to help Tanjong Pagar from the sidelines.
