Selangor's future plans hinge on PKNS takeover, says Johan

Selangor secretary-general Johan Kamal Hamidon is irked by the delay faced by the club in its plan to absorb PKNS FC into its set-up ahead of the 2020 season.

The Red Giants board earlier last month voted to proceed with its plan to take over the other Super League side based in the state of Selangor, and the plan has been approved by Malaysian competitions organiser Malaysian Football League (MFL) pending PKNS FC's agreement. The move would see Selangor taking over PKNS FC's first team including its players and coaches as its development team, and more importantly its place in the Malaysian football pyramid (If the merger goes through, PKNS FC are likely to be rebranded as Selangor II, and will have to compete in the Premier League as per MFL's ruling on development teams).
