Honestly, we have a percentage of December salaries yet to be cleared, as well as January salary and of course allowances. But I am sure they will be paid soon, the management is working around the clock to ensure they settle the players dues soon.
A senior player from the club who spoke with a demand of anonymity told
Goal how the situation has been. There have been unkept promises day in, day out from management which demoralizes us. We give our best to ensure the club is at the top, but it hurts when we are not getting what is rightfully ours.
I was very pleased to score and help the team. Captaining the team was also a great honour for me also in the sense that we had the biggest scoreline of the weekend. This is a huge motivation for me moving forward because I believe things will now fall into place.
The midfielder has been used sparingly by the 11-time league champions recently. However, being out of the team for long has done little to demoralize him. It was a very challenging period being out without playing because everyone wants to contribute to the team and when you don’t get a chance, it affects you, Madoya continued.
Goal on Friday. I used to have a number of 30 players and I felt I should have a size that I can manage. I am intending to have about 20 and because I have released 14, it means I have 16 remaining with us so far. The main target is to have either 20 or 23 and definitely I am going to sign some new ones to fill those gaps.
Western Stima have been struggling since the season began and recently found themselves dealing with match-fixing allegations.
Jobita had also stated the current players were unable to save their season, stressing the need for new ones.
My defenders positioning was also wanting and Sofapaka got their chances and took them. Sofapaka are a good team with a good coach and experienced in the league and we cannot afford to give them easy chances as we did.
In an earlier interview, the former striker expressed his desire to bring on board experienced players, especially at the back, to bolster his team to avoid registering unimpressive results. As I have said on several occasions, many of my players do not have top-tier experience, Iswekha admitted to Goal. Definitely I will bring on board three players to improve the team and ensure we perform well.
