With the Metrostars heavily in debt following the global financial crisis (we still owe some money for the team jerseys), speculation has been rife that club owner Montgomery Burns is looking to sell the club.
However, Mr Burns clarified in a press conference that he was not looking for buyers and more importantly, he denied that he would be forced to sell his star players to re-finance the club.
"Nobody wants them anyway," he said.

Transfer coup(?) by yours truly...
Having snapped up Metrostars summer transfer targets Kaka and Ronaldo, Madrid have now made a bid on French superstar striker Karim Benzema. The 21-year old might very well be the latest Galactico as sadly, the Metrostars do not have the funds to compete with the bigger clubs.

Brunei DPMM FC became the first foreign side to ever win the Singapore League Cup when they defeated SAF FC Friday night on penalties in the final.

Take a trip to Gadong and you may spot popular Metrostars hang-out CA Mohamed. OR IS IT?!?!
With Real Madrid looking to build a new generation of Galacticos, having signed superstars Kaka and Ronaldo, and reportedly still chasing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Villa, the Metrostars have moved to offer star player Mohamad a long-term deal that will tie him to the club for the considerable future.
Unlike Kaka and Ronaldo, Mamat's new deal will not see any increase in salary, meaning like the rest of the Metrostars, he will not be paid anything.
Fake football shirts from around the world can be bought at markets in Thailand for as little as 170 Baht ($7). These undercover photos show several Metrostars jerseys alongside other well known names in the famous Chatuchak weekend market.
Current squad in attendance: Zamri L, Soon, Deddy, Khairul, Muhaimin, Muhd M, Yasmi, Auni
