FC Ifeanyi Ubah Apologizes, Suspends Team Manager For 4 Matches (PRESS RELEASE) by Ipisi(m): 5:29pm On Jan 15, 2017 |
FC Ifeanyi Ubah issues Press Release on Official website apologizes for abandoning NPFL game, suspends Team Manager for 4 matches The club has issued a Press Release on their official website which goes as follows Our attention has been drawn to the sad events that led to the abandonment of the opening game of the 2016/2017 NPFL season between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah on the 14th of January, 2017 at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano. After extensive investigations into the occurrences that culminated in the disappointing start of the Nigeria Professional Football League, the Management of FC Ifeanyi Ubah has arrived at the following findings: 1. That the Team Manager, Mr. Jonathan Igwe in a rather autocratic and unprofessional manner took laws into his hands by dishing out orders to the team without due recourse to the statutes and ethics of the game. 2. That his actions were borne out of an uncontrollable emotion owing to his perceived antagonistic behaviour of the centre referee who he claimed allowed a goal that was flagged offside by the linesman to stand against us and disallowing a legitimate goal scored by FC Ifeanyi Ubah via a direct freekick deep into stoppage time of the first half. 3. That he is deeply remorseful for his actions and the role he played in the eventual abandonment of the match between Kano Pillars and our darling club, FC Ifeanyi Ubah at the Sani Abacha Stadium which also resulted in him being given a red card by the centre referee. In view of the aforementioned, the club has reached the following decisions: 1. That the Team Manager Mr. Jonathan Igwe is suspended for four (4) football matches with immediate effect and will forfeit one (1) month salary/allowances for his unprofessionalism and role in the eventual abandonment of the match. 2. That the Team Manager is not to be seen in the venue of any FC Ifeanyi Ubah match during the period of his suspension. 3. That the Team Manager is mandated to issue a letter of apology and promise of good conduct to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the organisers of the NPFL, the League Management Company (LMC) within 72 hours. 4. That the Team Manager is also to issue a written unreserved apology letter to the club and its teeming fans. The Management of FC Ifeanyi Ubah hereby tenders an unreserved apology to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the League Management Company (LMC) for the outcome of the match between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah which was supposed to be a befitting curtain raiser for the 2016/2017 NPFL season. Our most sincere and heartfelt apology goes out to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Pinnick and the Chairman of the League Management Company, Mallam Shehu Dikko who has done so much in promoting the NPFL while raising the standards of the league and football in Nigeria. We also wish to apologise to all important dignitaries, especially the Governor of Kano State, H.E. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Management of Kano Pillars, the good people of Kano State, Chairmen of various State FAs, sponsors of the NPFL and members of the press who were present to witness the match. Finally, may we use this medium to apologise to our teeming fans and football lovers all over Nigeria and around the world for the disappointing display that has brought the name of the beautiful game to disrepute. This is highly regrettable and we wish to state categorically that we would do everything within our powers to make sure that such occurrence does not repeat itself. The club condemns explicitly the unprofessional conduct of Mr. Jonathan Igwe and believe that the sanctions imposed on the Team Manager will serve as a severe deterrent to the entire management and playing staff of the club. FC Ifeanyi Ubah vows to uphold the statutes and tenets of the beautiful game we love so much. Thank you and God bless. Signed for: FC Ifeanyi Ubah. Mr. Chukwuma Ubah. Chairman. http://get9jasports..com.ng/2017/01/fc-ifeanyi-ubah-issues-press-release-on.html

Good one from the Management. You don't take matters into your hands. I still remember when Thierry Henry's goal via "handball" (literally used his hand to put the ball in the net) cost Ireland qualification for the 2010 world cup. The whole stadium saw it, the whole world saw it. But Ireland still stayed on the pitch despite that. Manners Maketh Man, the Team manager goofed. That ref shouldn't be spared though. 5 Likes

Ipisi:Only in Nigeria. The club should have allowed LMC take decision first over the issue before heaping all the blame on the team manager. Besides, the decision to axe the manager ought to have been taken by LMC and not the club. What the club did in their haste was to pre-empt the action of LMC over the abandonment of the match. However, it is ignoble and an act of shame on the part of Ifeany Ubah FC to abandon a match in this day and age. Such thing belongs to the heady days of Nigerian football. A professional club should be professional in all respects, and to all intents and purposes. 1 Like |

I support FC Ifeanyi Ubah; I however think that the Chairman should relieve Chukwuma Ubah of the M.D. position, an expatriate M.D. should be appointed so that the club can move forward...FCIU has the potential to be the best club in the continent but there is too much interference from the 'top'. I am proudly Yoruba and I approve this message. |

Kiakia: the rule is clear, LMC already have their penalty for such offence Ifeanyin Ubah is only setting a very laudable standard. |

Its time Nigeria league should grow up. I watch some of Nigeria premier league on TV and it doesn't look professional at all. It can't even be compare with professionalism in south African division 2 or Egypt or even Algeria. Going to Europe to see how football is being managed is even too far. Go to Egypt, and other football playing African country. Every league have there challenges but Nigeria owns is too much. Poor officiating, misconduct, even on TV poor graphics, poor commentary, and the league is totally uncompetitive. Nigeria league is the only league where home team is automatically the winner and away is the loser. If away team win its a miracle. Other African leagues are not like that. You can differentiate between weak and strong opponent. I hope Nigeria league will one day wise up. 3 Likes |
