After I blogged on why Bryan Soane's sudden departure from Balestier Khalsa had only side of the story covered , this morning's TODAY seem to have revealed the other side of the story.

In the latest twist in the event that it was alleged by Soane's agent that "The club tore strips off him for doing nothing,". Now that we had heard both sides' story, let's leave it to the league authority to look into it as too many opinions and views will lead us to no where. http://www.mediafire.com/file/nnjnnqnixzn/1007SPC048.pdf - Cache copy of the story of the "PrtSc" above
