Felda United Malaysia Super League Watch

Felda United to be relegated this season ?

It is unthinkable to assess that how such an unambitious, uninterested and unimpressive club managed to stave off from relegation last season when the likes of Kedah, Sabah and Sarawak failed to keep from slumping to the Premier League given that they signed ineffective imports and beaten heavily by several top opponents but couples of important draws and even the most unlikely win against Kelantan last season gives them the edge to avoid the deadly relegation play-off they will surely turned their fortune away. This season will be a very different season though, as their head coach E. Elavarasan left them to joined Terengganu and the likes of Fakri Saarani and Yong Kuong Yong who left for Portuguease second division side Athletico SC and fellow Super League rival Perak respectively will be sorely missed for next season. They are not too disillusioned by that though, as they made several important signing to keep away from relegation including the surprise signing of controversial and phenomenal striker Muhammad Ghaddar from treble-winner Kelantan and Kedah trio Helmi Eliza Elias, Amar Rohidan and Azmizi Azmi from recently-relegated Kedah. The signing of former Selangor and Johor head coach K. Devan will also provides a stern test to the bigger side given his unquestionable knowledge and experience in Super League. They will certainly need the performance of Ghaddar and Amar to gear up their team chances to avoid the drop. To avoid the relegation will be a realistic target for them.

     Tan Sri Annuar Musa has confirmed that Lebanese international, Mohammad Ghaddar will not extend his contract with the treble-winner Kelantan for the 2013 season. Annuar announced in his Facebook page, writing that, " We have to forget Ghaddar who demanded a 100 per cent pay rise wages. We could not afford to pay it, besides his performance is inconsistent." Kelantan is the most successful football team this year, having won all football competition available in Malaysia, in which successfully retaining Malaysia Super League title for the second time, winning FA Cup, and Malaysia Cup for the second time in three years. Annuar again stated that Ghaddar will be replaced by a new import who he said is playing in under-23 for his national side and playing with one of the AFC Champions League team. He will be tested by Kelantan for six month. The player, including another import, new signing Zairo Anuar Zailani and Faiz Subri and another local signing will be presented to the media tomorrow 4pm at Cafe TRW. It is not revealed whether Ghaddar has sign with a new club, but rumours strongly suggests that numerous Middle East clubs are keen to get his services as well as Super League outfit, Negri Sembilan. The 28 year-old striker is part of Kelantan winning-treble in 2012, scored 9 goals in Malaysia Super League to win the title for the second consecutive times, scored a decisive penalty-goal that resulted Kelantan clinched the FA Cup for the first time, and contributed his final goal and appearance for Kelantan in scoring a cheeky-selfish goal during 2-0 semi-final Malaysia Cup win over Selangor to qualify to the final as he was suspended for receiving more than two yellow cards but nonetheless Kelantan snatched the Malaysia Cup title by beating big-spenders ATM 3-2 in extra time. He was comically dubbed as the Malaysian Neymar for his outrageous skills during FA Cup win over Sime Darby and infamously involved in countless incidents and controversies during the course of the season. However, he has undoubtedly made an instant impact to the Malaysian football and his contribution for Kelantan will always be remembered.
