Enugu Rangers have counselled Heartland
FC not to continue holding on to players that have made their stand
known that they were ready to move on to seek green pasture elsewhere
that it could be counter productive.
The Flying Antelopes’ Director
of Media and Publicity, Foster Chime in an interview hinted that two of
their top players: captain, Cyril Oriaku and striker, Christian Obiozor
signified their intention to leave for another club and they are now
today playing for Dolphins and Kano Pillars respectively.
Chime also noted that the threat by the Naze Millionaires
to drag Rangers to a civil court will no doubt make them to incur the
wrath of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) advising the club instead
to allow players in their domain who have informed them they want to
leave, to go, so as to avoid the backlash.
Chime noted that the player in question,
Bobby Clement has
ceased to be their player since he only joined them
on loan due to the arrangement between them and Clement’s agent, Yomi
Itshekure who is noted for only negotiating loan deals for players under
his stable.
“I don’t know what Heartland are
fretting over because the information available to us about Bobby
Clement says he moved to Owerri on loan from his agent Yomi Itshekure
and he has desired to leave them for another club.
“No one can hold on to a player that has
decided to move on. We sold two of our players, Cyril Oriaku who is our
captain and Christian Obiozor because they said they wanted to leave.
You cannot hold on to a player against his wish.
“Heartland also said they would be
taking us to a law court. They know the repercussion if they do that. It
is best for them to let sleeping dog lie and focus their attention on
getting new players to replace those that have gone,” Chime told SportingLife.
