WELCOME TO KELANTAN.Dari segi ilmu bolasepak memang dia adalah coach antarabangsa.Kami bukan mengharapkan sesuatu yang ajaib dari Steve,Namun kalau Kelantan kekal sebagai pencabar hebat ia sudah cukup.Harap Steve cepat menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan Pantai timur dan mungkin dengan Faktor cuaca Kelantan sekali lagi akan bermula latihan di luar Kelantan.Steve Darby telah menendatangi 2 tahun kontrak dengan Kelantan dan akan bermula pada 15 November 2013.Harap sinar baru dengan kehadiran Steve dapat mengekalkan kecemerlangan dan dapat membawa Kelantan ke satu Dimensi lain.Mungkin kita nak Kelantan bermain laju dan banyak short past pantas.Semua pemain di harap menjaga Stamina dengan baik.Nampak gaya Coach baru ni lain macam sikit.
