Fam quashes proposal

The country’s soccer governing body, Fam, yesterday threw out Super League clubs’ move to come up with a proposed Super League Management Committee, stressing that only Fam executive is empowered to appoint members of the committee.
Fam was reacting to the clubs’ recent move to appoint its own committee to run the affairs of the league next season. The proposed committee, which was sent to Fam for approval, is headed by MTL Wanderers’ chair Humphrey Mvula.
However, Fam chief executive Chris Kamphinda Banda said yesterday:
“It is Fam’s responsibility to appoint members of its subcommittees, including the Super League Management Committee.
“The clubs were only asked to make nominations of whom they feel should be included in the management committee but they do not have the powers to elect or appoint members of the committee.”
The Fam spokesman said it was, therefore, surprising that the clubs went on to elect members of the committee when it is not their responsibility.
“Fam will be sitting down shortly to go through the proposed names and then it will appoint a committee which it feels will assist the association in managing the league,” Kamphinda added.
However, Total Big Bullets general secretary Krishna Achuthan, who was elected general secretary in the club’s recommended committee, said:
“We didn’t say the recommended committee will stand as it is. It was a recommendation from the clubs as to who they felt would make positive contributions in the running of the committee.
“This was done because clubs were not happy with the previous committee, there was lots of disapproval and if Fam has problems with the recommended committee they have to tell us why, otherwise they can do it their way,” Achuthan said. |
