DISSOLVE WISE BOARD, MANAGEMENT — SUPPORTERS (PAGE 63)

AGGRIEVED supporters of Sekondi Eleven Wise Football Club, have passed a resolution calling for the dissolution of the board of directors. as well as management of the club for mismanagement and breach of agreement.
The supporters suggested that both the board of directors and the management should be replaced with an interim management committee for the club.
According to them, the issue of breach of agreement must be taken seriously, and addressed accordingly to avoid legal action against signatories of the agreement.
They explained that in the year 2006, the club signed an agreement with Global Avanti Sports Alliance (GASA), part of which states that “GASA” may not assign or otherwise transfer his rights or delegate its obligations, including the disposal of the share acquisition, without first presenting the first option of purchase to the membership of Sekondi Eleven Wise congress”.
This was contained in a statement issued to the press in Takoradi and signed by the secretary of the supporters union, Mr David Quainoo.
“It has come to our notice that GASA has transferred its rights and powers to Global Media Alliance (GMA) which has nothing to do with Sekondi Eleven Wise Football Club”, the statement said.
It added that a preliminary search conducted at the Registrar General’s Department in Accra, had indicated that Global Avanti Sports Alliance was no more in existence.
“The Global Media Alliance which is now managing the club, has no legal rights, and has no power to do so”, it stressed adding, “Sekondi Eleven Wise has no agreement with them but rather with Global Avanti Sports Alliance”.
According to the statement, the Chief Executive Officer of the club, Mr Jamil Maraby had failed the club and that he was not a team player and therefore, cannot lead the club to achieve its ultimate aim and achieve successes.
“We suggest that he must be directed to hand over the club to the traditional rulers who represent the club”, it said.
The statement explained that the club

is Sekondi-based but is now Accra-based since both the offices of the chief executive officer and the administrative manager were in Accra, with the latter being an Accra man who was in charge of a relegated club, Sporting Miren.
It said the establishment of the offices in Accra did not augur well for the club, and was in contravention of the business plan of the club.
It continued that management failed to purchase a club house and a bus for the club as agreed and that they were aware that the club house being occupied by the players now was rented, while the ownership of the bus was unclear.
“The recent transfer of some 11 players of the club has created uneasy calm in the support base. We are reliably informed that the board of directors is not aware of that decision taken by the technical handler. In our opinion some of the players need not be transferred”, it said.
