  1. March 2031 In the final game of the full league season, the team took on Irn Bru Rangers (Warner 53, Leung Chun Hei 61). The first half was goaless but in the second half Warner headed home and Leung Chun Hei scored a beauty of a curler with the outside of his foot to send the team into... ... the Championship Group! This was followed by a return to FA Cup action with Eastern AA. SSP fought well for most of the game but Eastern AA carved out the best chances and scored a single goal which sent SSP tumbling out the competition. North Korea's April 25 (Leaung Chun Hei 23, Wong Tsz Ho 53, Warner 63) and appeared to all be plain sailing as SSP cruised into a 3-0 lead. April 25 had other ideas though, transforming their standards and fighting back to a thrilling 3-3 draw. Great for the neutral as they say! The month's final game was against Kitchee SC (Warner 17) in the Championship Group. Warner scored the winner when he was put through on the edge of the box to smash a powerful strike home. League Table SSP find themselves in second place with only two games to go - how high can they go in the league?! Conf Cup Group Stage A draw in the Confederations Cup puts SSP in the middle of the group. There's still a long way to go yet though. The Conf Cup has two games this month - fellow HK side Eastern AA and North Korean Hwaebul are the opponents. With only one place out the group, the game against Eastern AA looks pretty fierce. In the Championship Group stage, Irn Bru Rangers and Eastern AA are the opponents and will be a stiff challenge for sure...
  2. February 2031 Fogg managed to gain some truely spectacular results this month and wonders if the club has spare oxygen tanks if things remain as they presently are! Game one saw the team take on title leaders Eastern AA (Leung Chun Hei 25, 52) and the captain certainly led by example - gaining the win with a cool finish into the bottom corner of the net. This was followed by the match with Southern District (Ma Chun Man 17, 41, Wong Tsz Ho 82) looked to be a disaster when Fogg's men threw away a two-goal lead but young Wong Tsz Ho saved the day when he smashed home Ma Chun Man's super cross. Good progress continued to be made against Sha Tin (Boumsong pen 14, Leung Chun Hei 15) who themselves had been on a miraculous run to transform their season. Two goals in two minutes secured the result. It was then into continental football and the game against Chinese Taipai's Taipower (Warner 13, 24, Boumsong 20, Lai Siu Ki 79). The result all-but secured SSP's onward progress and it was good to see Warner break his drought as he last scored in December. It came at a cost though... A tougher 0-0 draw came agasint Kitchee SC in the FA Cup group stage where there was little really to report. Finally, a heavily-rotated side was beaten by Taipower but they still progressed on to the group stage. League Table The super run of games at the beginning of the month see SSP fly into second place. One more postive result will see them enter the top-half of the table when it splits. Can they manage it? FA Cup Group Stage Two games and progress looks good so far but it's still very early days in the competiton. Conf Cup Group Stage The East Asian Zone group sees SSP take on league opponents Eastern AA and two North Korean sides in April 25 and Hwaebul - certainly not where Fogg expected to be going on his journey! One league game against Irn Bru Rangers gives SSP the chance to get into the top half of the table. From there, it's cup action with the game against Eastern AA and the first trip to North Korea when the team will play April 25.
  3. January 2031 Only three games are played in January and the amount of red on show is certainly not pleasing for Fogg! Game one saw the side take on bottom-of-the-table Sha Tin. Fogg's men dominated the game but one smooth through-ball and goal was enough to earn the strugglers all three points. A heavily-rotated side played Eastern AA (Lai Siu Ki 45) and it's fairly safe to say that this game really wasn't a contest. This was nice for Fogg to see but, of course, he doesn't really intend to be around when these players come online. This news he does intend to be around for though. Franco Schwitzer was released by Ligue 1 Reims and looks like a true star at this level. His fickle personality wasn't the model superstar that Fogg's looking for but beggars can't be choosers! Finally, with Schweitzer, the team took on South China AA and, once again, slack finishing leads to a 1-0 defeat. Things must improve! League Table SSP slip down the table with their poor run of form and, for the first time in a while, the bottom of the table slips back into view. Fogg will want things to improve in the next month but it doesn't look easy... ... with game one being against the run-away league leaders. Southern District are beatable and Fogg will want revenge against Sha Tin. Then it's continental competition before and after the Kitchee SC game that won't be easy either!
  4. December 2030 Fogg new that the large number of games in December would have a fairly big bearing on how the season would pan out and, until the end, he couldn't really complain about the results that he got. The month began with a game against Sha Tin (Warner 4, Martinez 18, Wong Tsz Ho pen 45) and, baring their equaliser, the game wasn't too worrying as Fogg's men crusised past the team propping the table up. Kitchee SC (Wong Wai Chun 55) were a much harder proposition and Fogg was in dreamland when Wong Wai Chun scored from long range but in the end, the team left with only a point. Irn Bru Rangers (Wong Wai Chun 19, Wong Chun Ho 26, Warner 52, Leung Chun Hei 88) should have been equally difficult but SSP simply blew them away and this result is definitely the highlight of Fogg's time in Hong Kong so far. Another superb result came against Southern District (Warner 14, Lai Siu Ki 90+5) with Lai Siu Ki scoring a last-minute winner when a goal kick was lumped up over their backline and he ran onto it. The team were brought down to earth against HKFC (Warner 58) though when the team couldn't take their chances against the low-placed side. Finally, and annoyingly for Fogg, the team crashout the Challenge Shield against Kitchee SC (Leung Chun Hei 54) who progress thanks to a late, late penalty. League Table FA Cup Table In the leauge, SSP have got themselves into the top half of the table and this is a pretty good place for them to be. Fogg would love to be top-half when the league splits. In the cup, one game puts them top of the group but it's a long time, strangely, before any more games get played. At the moment, January only has three games in it. Sha Tin are bottom of the league and Fogg will certainly want points from that. The cup game is a formality as SSP have already qualified but South China AA will represent a real challenge for Fogg and his crew...
  5. November 2030 November was a busy month for Fogg and his men but he hasn't got many complaints about the results that they've gained so far. Game one saw the side take on Eastern AA (Warner 13). Goal-machine Warner opened the goals but they scored in the second half and the points were shared. Things did not go so well in the matching league game against Eastern AA (Leung Chun Hei 48). Fogg's men were two goals down at half time and, despite getting one goal back, they couldn't do enough to get the second and a point. Things looked up though back in the Sapling Cup. The team took on Sha Tin (Lam Chin Yu 35, Warner 42) and headed goals were the order of the day when CB Lan Chin Yu got himself a rare goal. The good news continued against Kitchee SC (Warner 29, Leung Chun Hei 31, Lai Siu Ki 80) and it was good to see youngster Lai Siu Ki get himself on the scoresheet. A tough draw against Kitchee SC (Lam Chin Yu 37) came in the league game with the CB getting his second goal of the month. Finally, there was drama against South China AA (Leung Chun Hei 25, 73). They took the league with two long-range shots early on but the captain headed home twice to earn Fogg's men a point from the game. The club are in what Fogg would judge to be a mid-table position having played quite a lot of the big guns in the league. He's hoping that he can at least secure that position or even improve it when easier games come along. In the Sapling Cup, the team have qualified with a game to spare and Fogg's men can look forward to the next round. There's another month to come and, by the end of this, we'll have a much better sense of how the league is looking. Cup games top-and-tail the month and Fogg is keen to chase every opportunity to win a trophy.
  6. Thanks for the message @phnompenhandy; I certainly hope to get to the end before too long. It might even give me chance to play FM23! I have completed my coaching badges - did that back in Europe but I can't remember exactly when it was now. I'd not looked at my adaptability but it turns out that it's a massive 2! Make of that what you will! October 2030 Fogg's first month in HK hasn't been easy but he can't complain about being unbeaten thus far. His career opened with a game against HKFC (Wong Tsz Ho pen 33, Warner 45). When Fogg's side were 2-0 up at HT, he thought he was on to a win but HKFC fought back in the second half and the points were shared. Warner scored again in game two though against Sha Tin (Warner 70) and his neatly-taken header was enough to secure all three points in the Sapling Cup. He couldn't do that against Kitchee SC though and, once again, the points were shared. One game and one point. It's pretty hard to make anything serious of that. Four points in the Sapling Cup doesn't look like bad work so far though. November looks like a far busier month. The first two games look a serious challenge against the league's nailed on favourites. Kitchee are predicted second while South China AA are predicted 4th. Hopefully, the game against Sha Tin will provide some relief!
  7. Starting XI Here is a guide to the players in the starting XI who aren't transfers into the team mentioned above! Ngan Ngo Tin: The 27yo HK goalkeeper looked to be a top performer in the league last season - only conceeding 16 in 16. Fogg is hoping for at least as much, if not better this season. Francis Boumsong: Born in Cameroon but an HK national, Boumsong has spent his entire career in this league and has been a regular over the last three seasons. Wong Wai Chun: The CM played 15 games in his first season for SSP and Fogg sees no reason why he can't continue to rack up starts at the moment. Leung Chun Hai: Club captain, the 22yo managed 1 goal and 2 assists. Fogg will want more from his leader this time around. Wong Tsz Ho: This 16yo has caught Fogg's eye and he's about to make his break-through season in professional football. What can he muster in the role? James Warner: The 23yo English striker was born in Guernsey and has Irish heritage too. He has played most of his career in HK hitting a career best 9 goals last season. The bookies make him a potential top goalscorer in the league this time though. Can he live up to expectation?
  8. Pre-Season It might not be millions but Fogg has been spending money for the first time since he left Italy! Not knowing the squad, there are few outs. The only one out is Tang Tsz Hin who was a youngster who didn't look like making the mark and so, when Sha Tin made an offer to take him, off he went. Now onto the ins... Chan Yun Tung is the first player into the side. The 28yo RB has been a regular in the side for South China AA and he's the first part of the improvements that Fogg is looking to make in the backline. Coming in from Mexican side CF Zacatepec, young Daniel Martinez was deemed to have made the grade and never got a minute for them. Fogg is hoping that their loss is his gain as he looks like he'll be solid gold at this level for SSP. Lam Chin Yu was brought in from Resources Capital for a grand total of £8k. He looks like a solid option in that position for this level and is a definite upgrade on what was there in the squad before. Lam Lok Yin has come into the club from Southern District. He managed two goals and no assists last season but Fogg is hoping that he has potential for much more than that. Ian Hall is fresh into the club from Terbuni for £9k. The Albanian, with English as a second nationality, started out at Crystal Palace. He never made an appearance for the Eagles though and now doesn't want to go back there. Pre-season looked pretty good but there weren't many challenges in there and it's always hard to tell... Mid-table in the league is clearly where the priority lies for the club this season. Everything else seems be insignificant in comparison. Does the strength that Fogg hopes he's put into the squad represent enough? Only results will show. The prediction is that the club will finish 6th and with a fairly wide gap between them and the club on each side. Does this count as mid-table and enough for mission accomplished? October's three games are against HKFC who seem to be placed below SSP and then it's into the cup against Shan Tin predicted bottom and Kitchee SC predicted 2nd so it will give a good sense of where things are at! Next up, we'll meet the squad that are taking on the challenge...
  9. Sham Shui Po So the challenge moves on! Fogg joins Sham Shui Po who have just come second and got into the Confederations Cup. He feels a pang of regret in leaving Geylang when the chance of winning a trophy was there but time and the challenge move on! So after little more than a year, Fogg is able to move on. Five countries after HK remain. Ng Pak Long is the assisstant here. He's been at the club a little over a year and will be guding the side through Fogg's plans for them over the next year. It's been a topsy-turvy ride for Sham Shui Po and Fogg will want to help and upward trend continue that's for sure. Like so many clubs, finance dominates the agenda alongside the strong desire to make progress. With the luxary of pre-season available to him, Fogg has the chance to assess his squad and see what improvements can be made before the season begins.
  10. July 2030 July 2030 turned out to be a pretty dramatic month for Fogg! It began with these two big pieces of news... Fogg was devasted that his bid to keep his top player had gone unheeded by the board that meant that when news of a job interview came in, Fogg was keener to leave... The next stage of the journey beckons. Faizal Raffi was unwanted by his previous club Balestier and Fogg brought him in to provide some back up to the now first-choice Yaacob. Geylang might be top but the month's games stop early and there are no fixtures so that can only mean one thing..
  11. June 2030 There were only two games in June and there was success in both of them for Fogg. Against, Tanjong Pagar (Singh 19, 54, Tan Soong Keen 21), the team took control and Fogg was delighted with the result. The pick of the goals was Singh's second where he chested the ball down before smashing into the opposite top corner from outside the box. In game two, Balestier (Tan Soong Keen 65, pen 84) were beaten when Tan Soong Keen scored a penalty and a superb free-kick. The replacement for the replacement drops out. The squad is getting thinner and thinner on Fogg. Considering thta the club is penniless, another good youth intake is vital for the club. Fogg hasn't started selling yet to generate finances but will it be needed in the future? The club rise up to second and remain in a tight top three. Fogg though, is now free to apply for jobs that will take him onto the next stage of his journey... 4th, 6th and 3rd line up in the next month. It feels like Fogg's men are playing these sides every week in this league but, with applications to Hong Kong going in, how long will he be here?
  12. May 2030 If April was a tricky month for Fogg, he was certainly happy with the work that his side did in May. It began in frustrating circumstances with a 1-1 draw against Albirex (S) (Tan Soong Keen 48). A super free-kick from Tan Soong Keen got his season up and running but they couldn't do enough to make the most of their domination and Albirex stole a share of the points later on. Things improved against Young Lions (Tan Soong Keen 34, Zainudin 82). It looked like this game was going to be another frustrating draw but youngster Zainudin earned all three points when he smashed the winner in through the postage-stamp, superb stuff! The team cruised to a 3-0 win against league heavyweights Tampines (Tan Soong Keen 14, 49 54) and Tan Soong Keen walked away with the match ball. The final game of the season against LC Sailors (Tan Soong Keen pen 73) saw the points shared again - Tan Soong Keen saved the day when he smashed a penalty home. Geylang keep hold of third place and the gap down to fourth has opened up to six points. They're closer to the top than that but Fogg is beginning to think about how he can get to Hong Kong in just a few days time. There are only two games in the next month and, once they're out the way, Fogg can concentrate on getting the move that will allow him to carry on his journey.
  13. April 2030 Fogg was amazed at how well his team had started the season and was keen to see if he could make the most of this in the next month to really set off up the table. Good news didn't come quickly though... Muhamad, who had been one of the best players last season, is effectively ruled out for the rest of this. Against Tanjong Pagar (Lim 14), it looked like Lim had fired in a super start from long range. It wasn't to last though as, somehow, Tanjong Pagar nicked two to leave Fogg wondering how the points had been thrown away. The 'good' news kept coming for Fogg as another first-choice player is ruled out for a serious period of time. The form didn't get any better either as, once again, the team threw away a one goal lead against LC Sailors (Rai 37), this time with the second goal of theirs coming in the 92nd minute. Fogg is jumping up and down with frustration at this point. More domination but only a single point was the result of a game against bottom-of-the-table Balestier. It all served as something of a reality-check in Fogg's hopes of starting a title challenge and left him wondering if the side would gain a single win this month. That came, remarkably, in the month's last game against Hougang Utd (Rai pen 84). This time, Geylang were under the cosh for most of the first half and the stole the points with a penalty late on. Perhaps sometimes luck does come around. Geylang now find themselves seven points off the title pace but four points inside the continental places. The issue is though that Fogg only has five games to go before he looks to jump ship... So a repeat set of fixtures come up already. It's a tight league at this stage and three of the four games are teams above or just below Geylang. The final against Albirex (S) is against a team in 6th. What can Fogg start to get in his hopefully good-bye run?
  14. March 2030 Having made some acquisitions, Fogg was keen to see how they would play out in the new season. Game one against Hougang Utd (Aniq Raushan 57) was frustrating. Aniq Raushan got the opener with a header from a free-kick which was deserved given Geylang's domination. However, in the dying embers, Hougang scored a beautiful free-kick and the points were shared. When the scouts brought up Andrew Aw, Fogg felt the need to sign the good Singaporean RB in order to add further strength to the backline. Against Albirex (S) (Muhamad 3,4) Muhamad scored an early and quick brace - the first was an impudant chip and the second a rebound tucked home. This was enough to secure the points against a late Albirex pushback. A single penalty scored by Kiban Rai was enough to get all three points against Young Lions (Rai pen 50) and it was all adding up to a postive start before taking on the big boys of Tampines (Rai pen 24, Resti 72). When Tampines took the lead inside three minutes, Fogg feared the worst. His team, though, rose to the challenge. They upped their game and got level with a Rai penalty and Resti nearly gave his manager a heart attack when it looked like he'd missed an open goal but acutally knocked it home against the far post. A historic first win over Tampines since 2028. A dreamland start - Geylang fly out the blocks and finish the month top of the league. It took the team 13 games to get to 10 points last season so Fogg hopes that this is the start of a truly spectacular season! LC Sailors are the standout team to take on next month, being third. Tanjong Pagar are 5th, Hougang Utd 6th and Balestier prop up the table.
  15. Pre-Season Now that pre-season had come around, Fogg was pretty keen to see what he could do with his small budget here at Geylang. Step one was something of a clear out. No first team players went but plenty of squad material from what was a pretty large collection didn't get their contracts renewed. Then there were the in's... Wes Bickerdike is a 19yo GK who has just been released from Preston. He's yet to make any first-team appearances and doesn't seem too happy with the way that things worked out as he now has a desire not to play for Preston! 19yo Italian, Simone Resti, had been tracked by the Geylang scouting team for a while - receiving huge praise. Being only on an amateur contract, he could be picked up for nothing which made it even better. Nepali Kiban Rai was another who the scouts picked up and were very keen on. His amateur contract at Llandudno meant that, for three out of three, he could be picked up for nothing. Last season, he got 9 goals and 3 assists. He's managed consistently high ratings since coming in from Airbus in 2025 and Fogg looks forward to making the most of his skills. Pre-season looked pretty good with the new players bedding themselves in well. Fogg hopes that this is a good prospect for the season ahead. Geylang are predicted to finish mid-table this season and this suits Fogg just fine with this being the exact expectations of the board. Of course, he has no need to be there till the end of the season but it's nice to know what the club is aiming for. Hougang Utd and Young Lions are predicted to be much worse than Geylang this season with Albirex pitching in at about the same level. Finally, Tampines are the run-away favourites to win the league. Overall, the month will give Fogg a good sense of what he can get out of his team.
  16. Season Review The season's XI isn't far short of what Fogg had in mind. GK Zaini and CB Osawa miss out. Perhaps they can make their mark next season? Elijah Lim and Tan Soong Keen take the plaudits in Geylang's tricky season. Fogg is hoping that they can continue to contribute next season. The board are looking up. Fogg managed to avoid finishing bottom and now the aim is to get mid-table. Fogg knows that there will be work to do with the squad to get anywhere near that.
  17. October 2029 Fogg had hoped that he could produce a shock in the cup but it proved not quite to be! There was good news at the start of the month though... Granted, this save doesn't really make for hanging around but it's a great intake for the club to receive. In the cup, Geylang took on Tiong Bahru (Elijah Lim 48, Noor 79). Geylang cruised past the lower-league side and two headed goals from corners were enough to get the job done. There wasn't quite so much luck against Hougang Utd (Singh 17, Tan Soong Keen 25). Singh's sweet rebound shot and Tan Soong Keen's even better free-kick looked like they were going to send Geylang on in the cup. Hougang had other ideas though as they stormed back in the second half and Fogg's men crashed out. So, by a single point, Geylang crash out the cup and their season comes to an end. Next up will be the season review.
  18. September 2029 The month started off badly for Fogg and co but he was pretty pleased with the overall result. The game against Tampines (Tan Soong Keen 36) was one that went against Geylang. They scored and then Tan Soong Keen made the most of a good goal kick to score. Finally, they scored again just after and Geylang simply couldn't reply again. Once again, no game goes unpunished and injuries continue to mount up against Fogg. The second game saw Geylang take on Young Lions (Muhamad 21). Muhamad headed home a superb in-swinging cross but this was levelled against when Young Lions hit a huge looping cross forward and got the goal. Another game, another injury! Thankfully, apart from Muhamad, most first-team players were back for the cup game against Tampines and the team looked them in the eye. It was a really promising sign for Fogg but sadly it wasn't in the league which is where he needed results. A result came in the last game though - a 4-0 win over Balestier (Tan Soong Keen pen 24, 74, 78, Rada Krishnan 35). Tan Soong Keen got a hat-trick and capped the game off with a super long-range strike crashing home off the bar. Where would the month's games leave the club though? Well the result is enough to lift Geylang Int. up off the bottom of the table and Fogg's place in his job is secure. In the cup, a draw against Tampines was a decent result and leaves them with a fighting chance of getting through to the next round. Now that the league has finished, the Singapore Cup takes centre stage. Two more games need to be played against semi-pro Tiong Bahru and Hougang Utd who finished third in the league. Hougang and Tampines would be favourites to qualify but can Geylang shock them?
  19. August 2029 Two games in August and not-so-good results for the club it has to be said. Starting against Albirex (S) (Yaacob 37), Geylang fell behind early on when a ball over the top was clipped home. Geylang went on to fight and fight though and Mikkelsen crossed well for Yaacob to bring the club level with the bottom side. Game two was against top side LC Sailors (Amir 79). For the first time, Geylang were totally outplayed and fell three goals behind. Amir headed home a consolation but it did not do much for the club. And so the club return to the foot of the table. Fogg doesn't know how seriously the board will take things if the club remain there at the end of the season. Everything is still tight though as good results could see the club leap up to fifth. Three games to complete the season come up in the next month. Tampines are top, Young Lions are fourth and Balestier are 7th so the month doesn't look easy. And, as if one game against Tampines weren't enough, they have a second to start off the Singapore Cup group stage.
  20. July 2029 Another month with two games and two different results. In game one, Fogg's new charges took on Tanjong Pagar (Tan Soong Keen 11, Singh 66). Tan Soong Keen started the scoring by knocking in a low free-kick and then Singh doubled up when Muhamad threaded a low cross through the eye of a needle to him. They pushed on later and pulled a goal back but Geylang held on to get all three points. The same couldn't be said in the game against Hougang Utd (Tan Soong Keen 83). Geylang dominated the game but let Hougang get two via an unmarked header and a poorly-defended corner. Tan Soong Keen scrambled a pinball header home late on but the team couldn't push on and get something from the game. Everything is still tight in the league but Geylang Int. are happy not to be bottom of the table. Only a point separates them from that place though... Two games come up again in the next month and two games of extremes. Albirex (S) prop up the table so Fogg would be very keen to get points there while LC Sailors are second so they pose much more of a challenge.
  21. June 2029 There was only one game in the month left for Fogg to take charge of but it certainly wasn't short of drama. Against Balestier (Muhamad 4, 90+1), things got off to a bad start when, in three minutes, the team opened up and let them score. It was brought back level when a super through-ball sent Muhamad one-on-one. He then added real sparkle by curling a beauty into the top corner. They then scored from a set-piece before, in the dying minutes, Muhamad showed he wasn't done yet by planting a beauty of a free-kick into the same top corner he'd scored in before! Geylang are still bottom but, following the draw, everyone is much closer together so there is potential to get on and up that table. With money being limited, this was a nice sight for Fogg to see. It would be good if it provided him some quick first-team players though otherwise he might not be around to see the potential develop. Tanjong Pagar are 5th while Hougang Utd are 3rd so the two games next month will give Fogg a very good sense of what exactly his team can do...
  22. Thanks for following along @DavidBeckham. Let's hope it's a positive ride in Singapore! Starting XI Nur Safiq Zaini: The 30yo Singaporean is in his first season at the club. So far, he's let in 17 in 13 games. Fogg needs that to improve and fast. Aniq Raushan: The 25yo RB has been with the club since 2023. He's scored three goals this season and has plenty of positive stats. Fogg hopes that this is set to continue. Ting Chek Siang: is a 21yo player who's been coming through the youth system. He's made a handful of appearances and Fogg needs him to bed in secure a place, quickly. Toshiaki Osawa: is a 21yo Japanese player in his second season at Geylang. His showing so far has been pretty underwhelming so Fogg hopes that he finds the potential for improvement. Jacob Mikkelsen: 17 years old and of joint Singaporean/Danish heritage, Mikkelsen has been playing well so far this season. Something for the rest of the backline to live up to. Elijah Lim: Lim is one of the team's stalwarts - having been at the club since 2021. He's performed well so far this season and Fogg hopes he continues to lead by example. Ho Hung Meng: The 20yo Singaporean has performed well so far this season with a goal and assist to his name. Fogg hopes the homegrown player continues to deliver. Azlan Muhamad: The winger has been a regular in the side since 2024. He has no goals or assists so far this season though - not the most promising of signs... Jamal Haron: Young Haron got three goals and three assists last season. He's barely featured this time around though so Fogg hopes his introduction can lift the team. Nicky Singh: a 27yo and a regular in the side since his transfer in in 2024, Fogg hopes this is a player at the peak of his powers. Tan Soong Keen: The 18yo got one goal last season and has four goals so far this. Is he a star waiting to shine? Fogg comes in with Geyland at the bottom of the table. Everything is very close though. It would only take a win or two to see the team fly up the league. There's only one game left in the month and it's against the team just above them in the league. Surely it's the best possible chance to start with a win?
  23. Geylang Int. So Fogg moves on from India to Singapore. His travel around the world has led him a long, long way from home and to a part of the city that seems pretty stunning to the eye. For the first time since leaving India, Fogg has an assistant manager. Will he be able to take Azlan with him on any stage of the journey? Things look to be heading down for the club generally, emphasised by the fact that the club has not won anything for twenty years and their aim is to not finish bottom.
