It's not hard to see why though: the Young Lions have contributed backroom staff and the most number of players out of all the S-League clubs to the current crop of LionsXII players in the MSL. The class of Young Lions 2011 lost arguably their top 13 players to LionsXII. The crowd pullers of last season -- Hariss Harun, Khairul Nizam and Gabriel Quak -- were all "promoted" to LionsXII.

FAS needs to understand that there's no shame in
