The LMCNPFL should call their bluff and banish them to regional league.

1st of all they need to change their name, WTF is Rivers United? That’s some Colonial BS of a name, might as well answer Donatus or Cletus United.

2ndly, they should leave and let us know when they want to auction their assets. I can use the team bus for Owerri-Portharcourt transportation.

Oh Lawd, more members have joined the meeting.

It would have been better to shout tufiakwa first, and then storm out.

[bret- hart]

Oh thank goodness. What a useless club. Imagine losing to child soldiers from congo, Algerians terrorists and tour guides from Tanzania. They have embarrassed Nigeria enough

DEFECT A REFORMED LEAGUE WOULD CURE


This cannot happen in any of the major leagues in any sport anywhere in the world. The reason it's happening here is because the clubs are treated as personal possessions. The business/legal reform needed is that clubs become franchises owned by the league, not by private parties, and can be transferred between entities.

In this case, the present owners need only declare their desire not to participate anymore and new owners are found.

Another reform that's needed is in the area of rulings. If a franchise feels wronged they simply appeal to the league authorities where a final and binding decision is made. This idea of "I'm gone if I don't like the decision" is so 70'ish and bush league.

1naija realizes it's not too late to tell unpatriotic Nigerians tufiakwa in their faces. Walks back in, sees that more unpatriotic faces have shown up including one big head from Ngbidi and one piss poor agent with clients in the Gaza strip, takes a deep breath and yells tufiakwa in each of their faces and storms out.

What are they waiting for?

[Enugu II]

Rivers United cannot hold the organizers to ransom. The fact is that the congestion was induced by their demands to put off their games to enable them prepare for continental competition. Now they are attempting to bully the NFF to give them more concessions, is that the issue? If it is, then the NFF should simply ignore. These clubs have often pushed the NFF to keep putting off games and leading to problems. This starts even before the first game of every season. That rubbish must stop and the MFF should put its feet down and strongly. If Rivers carry out the threat then simply issue hefty sanctions.

THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN ABSENCE OF PRE-ESTABLISHED RULES


Reforms are needed to avoid doing things on ad hoc bases. Leagues in the advanced countries have rules to govern as many anticipated events as possible. When the unexpected happens, they seek binding ruling from those who run them.
