Despite Gary Phillips coaching them and doing ridiculous things over there, the quartet that he signed before the season started (Alex Smith, Joel Chianese, Taylor Regan & Andrew Nabbout), only Taylor Regan and Alex Smith remain. http://www.espnfc.com.au/malaysian-super-league/story/2893831/negeri-sembilan-drop-nabbout-and-chianese-ahead-of-malaysia-cupThey're ruthless over there. They cut Chianese who had scored 10 in 15 and Nabbout who had scored 8 in 12, to bring in Henrique and another guy because they thought they could improve the squad :shock: Malaysia has always been troublesome for foreign players over there. They used to never pay their foreign players and for a few years I think banned foreign players from playing in the Malaysian Super and Premier Leagues. From what I've heard, little has changed. Wouldn't be surprised if the owners of the clubs go over the managers heads and sign players they think will improve the squads, that cost less money. Players like Chianese and Henrique would be on more money than your standard local player, and in countries like Malaysia that's bound to start causing disharmony among the locals. That little quote from Gary Phillps smacks of the board going over his head with decisions and him following along in order to keep his job. Quote:"Joel and Andrew have played well this season, but we, as a club, have made the decision to try to improve the squad to give Negeri every possible chance of promotion," coach Gary Phillips told ESPN FC. No manager worth their salt sacks a striker who nets 10 in 15, they've actually dropped positions and currently sit in 5th. ](*,) Edited by Heineken: 1/8/2016 06:03:02 PM
