NTU new manager Mr. Y has warned fans he will not be spending money on Team NTU for the upcoming rugby season.

Although Mr. Y's hand was strengthened this week with the news the club are to raise $20k towards dragon boating, $0 will be spent on the rugby team.

(a very big WTF)

The cash is not just for subsiding least popular sports like rugby as Y said: "We've not got masses of money, Dragonboat asked for $40k, but i can only give them $20k, soccer, hockey and other sports are also asking for money. I guess the rugby team is on their own for now."

"What we're talking about include jerseys and coaching fees, so let's not kid ourselves we cannot afford spend even $1 on a player. BUT dragonboaters and soccer players are different."

(they are different? more legs and hands?)

"When I spoke to Arjun 'Show it' Pandey a couple of weeks ago he was very positive. He been really really nice thru'out our meetings. I really hope i can help him, but sorry... no money at the moment."

"I told him what I'd like in January, and he knows I won't spend on the team if I don't think theres a competitive tournament to play in. Playing among the 3 universities is a stupid idea. Its not worth my time."

(Tri-nations is a waste of time i guess.)

When interviewed about this story, Arjun has this to say: " I tried everything lar, been sucking up to him already. He is an ass lar."

Team NTU are travelling to Thailand on the 3rd of Jan to take part in the Thailand Cup invitational challenge shield. Although they are not sponsored for this trip, the players are more than willling to pay for their own expenses.

"We got the passion for rugby. We are going to play. Mr. Y can just sit in his office and rot. I don't give a shit." said a player who refused to be named.

NTU are hoping that Team SMU and NUS can come together and organise a competition next year. However, they are uncontactable for any comments regarding this.

Will this be the end of team NTU? or will team NTU be re-name as Boon Lay Warriors United? We will update you as soon as we can get a confirmation.
