Farook Kadodia Feels Betrayed by Players as Maritzburg United Suffer Relegation! The Team of Choice suffered the painful fate recently.
Maritzburg United were relegated from the DSTV Premiership into the Motsepe Foundation Championship last week. Chairman Farook Kadodia has said that the players betrayed the team.
The Team of Choice needed to defeat Cape Town Spurs last week Wednesday in order to stay up in the DSTV Premiership. However, the 0-0 draw was enough to send the NFD outfit into the PSL.
“To the players, we felt betrayed by a few individuals whose questionable concessions of goals during the critical stages of our battle for survival proved detrimental,” the chairman wrote in a damning statement.
“The absence of an attacking approach in search of a winning goal was overshadowed by unappealing defensive tactics.
“It is disheartening to realize that you unwittingly assisted those who hindered our progress, even as the club diligently fulfilled its obligation to honour your contracts and provide timely salary payments.
“This was particularly challenging as reports surfaced of numerous teams facing their own difficulties in meeting payroll obligations. Undoubtedly, this season presented us with a multitude of obstacles, yet we failed to rise to the occasion as we had consistently done, especially in the previous playoff and our resilient fight against Jomo Cosmos in 2016.
“Despite being given a chance to redeem ourselves in the playoff and receiving what could be considered a divine intervention for the club, some individuals had alternative motives that diverted us from our path.
“However, it is imperative that we leave the past behind us.
“Let us remain united and exhibit unwavering determination to reclaim our rightful place in the football hierarchy.” He added.
The Team of Choice will undergo several technical changes in the close season. Farook Kadodia Feels Betrayed by Players as Maritzburg United Suffer Relegation!
