Akwa United Players Not Paid For Months – Coach
Akwa United have
not been paid salaries for the past three months, according to coach Patrick Udoh.
“The boys have not been paid for three month,” lamented Udoh.
However, despite the poor morale in the Uyo club they sill staged a big 2-1 away win at erstwhile League leaders Sharks.
“We did not expect this result because of the low morale in the team and the fact that several of our top players did not travel to the game,” admitted the coach.
“The result against Sharks should even have been 3-1, but they cancelled one of our goals.”
Last season, Akwa also had to endure a cash crunch which caused them to battle against relegation till the final day.
After topping the League for several weeks, they are currently seventh on the table with 28 points from 19 matches.
