New IE
Vice President Outlines Plans
I
In the midst of reports that
the camp of "Sunshine Yellow Boys" Invincible Eleven (IE) is in
disarray, the club is said to have named Malike Dukuly and Samuel
Farkollie as Vice Presidents for Operations and Player Welfare
respectively.
Dukuly earlier served as Financial
Secretary, while Farkollie was previously Assistant Secretary General
of IE.
Newly appointed IE's vice president for
Operations, Malike Dukuly said "Sunshine Yellow Boys" will lift this
year edition of the Liberia Football Association (LFA) Official
National Season (ONS) title whether it be premier or the normal first
division chase.
Following his preferment recently, Mr.
Dukuly told The INQUIRER SPORTS that he intends to restore the lost
spirit to the team having observed that fans are frustrated.
Outlining the plans he envisage for
IE during his tenure as vice president for Operations, Dukuly wants
coaches of IE to make sure old players of the team justify their
inclusions before being registered during the forthcoming league
season.
Having succeeded the vocal Edward Forson,
Dukuly expressed disappointment over his predecessor's decision to
resign.
According to Dukuly, Mr. Forson's
resignation stemmed from frustrations relative to lack of support to
IE but said the former IE vice president for Operations is still a
bonafide member of the Yellow Family.
"I would had advised Mr. Forson not to resign if
I knew about it sooner", Mr. Dukuly said.
The new IE Vice President for Operations,
meanwhile, denied claims that certain players have left the club,
saying, "the players were just frustrated."
He praised coaches and technicians for their
performance during the past season and admonished them to work
together during the next league season.
"We will make sure players will be fit or else
they will be asked to leave the team," Dukuly threatened current
players of IE.
"We will make sure we will keep the
promises made to the coaches and players," Dukuly promised. Mr. Dukuly
said, come the next league season, IE will be eyeing the championships
unlike the past season.
Touching on the reported resignation of Mr.
Sam Browne as Vice President for Fan Club Affairs, Mr. Dukuly said he
only got the information by newspaper reports and rumors.
In a related development, Mr. Dukuly commenting
on an alleged rift between he and his predecessor said, "our personal
matter cannot be dragged into an administrative problem if there any."
"Forson is my brother. We are in the process of
reconciliation," Dukuly said.
