Is the star club in danger?



[ad_1]

The pressure on Al-Nijmeh Club increases with the succession of cases against the club, whose owners won their claims. The official start was with Grindade player Cedrell Lewis, who ruled in his favor, forcing the star to pay approximately $ 12,600. The circumstances that Lebanon is going through forced the club the inability to pay the fees due to the closure of the banks and the difficulty of transfers. This matter led to FIFA’s decision to prevent the club from hiring a foreign or local player until the decision is implemented. In the event that the amount is not paid to the player, the club is prohibited from contracting for three consecutive periods.

At the time, the decision to freeze seemed to be closer to a moral blow than actual damage to the club. Regarding the substance of the decision, a clause was mentioned that lifted the club’s suspension immediately after paying the amount. There is no doubt that the value of the amount is modest in relation to the club’s annual budget and the money spent, and therefore the question of the refund to player Lewis was intuitive and will take place after the stability of conditions in the banks. But this does not reduce the damage of moral decision, as it is not appropriate for a club the size of the Al-Nijmeh club to be suspended in a precedent that takes place for the first time in the club’s history. However, in light of the exceptional economic conditions in Lebanon, some people may accept such a decision.
But the day before yesterday, a new FIFA decision was issued in favor of the player Issaka, with a large sum of $ 57,000, which is almost four times the amount paid to Luis. The lawsuit was accompanied by another FIFA decision in favor of the Brazilian player Gilberto dos Santos, who in turn will receive approximately $ 12,000.
Here it seemed that an alarm sounded in the Al-Najma club. A bell can be heard in the case of what is expected and FIFA issued a new decision, this time in favor of Tunisian player Mourad Al-Hudhali, whose information from Tunisia indicates that he will receive a decision similar to Issaka’s decision, given the similarity of the two files and their follow-up by a legal expert, the Tunisian Selim Poland. That is, the total amounts can reach 140 thousand dollars. The worst would be if Tunisian coach Tariq Garaya won the lawsuit he filed, claiming the sum of $ 75,000 in the value of his entire contract with the star, under the supervision of Tunisian lawyer Ali Abbas.

Graaya: When I get the money, I will pay the attorney’s fees and the rest. I will return it to the star after Asaad Saqal’s departure.

The curators of Al Najma Club, particularly President Asaad Saqqal, who is responsible with his deputy, Ali Al Sabaa, for the club’s expenses for almost a year, can appreciate the amount of 12,000 or even its weakness.
There is no doubt that Saqal is specifically responsible for making things happen. Certainly, the reason is not material, but rather in the way of managing the files of foreign players and their settlements, where it was possible to solve the problem of each player with a small amount of money (5 million pounds for Isaka, 8 million for Al-Hudhali and a two-month salary for Jaraya). However, those who left Lebanon without settlements, which opened the door to go to FIFA, file and win demands, and place the club’s treasury under great pressure.
In light of the succession of cases, it was feared that the series would extend to cases brought forward by Lebanese players, namely Nader Matar, who is demanding $ 250,000 for the value of his entire contract with the star, which spans three years, and goalkeeper Abbas Hassan, who also filed a case with FIFA.
All of these claims would have been resolved and would not reach FIFA if there had been good management away from the murders and turning matters into a personality, as one amazing Al-Akhbar administrator says.
The surprising thing about Tunisian coach Tariq Graya’s entry into the demand line, after all, the conversation focused on foreign and Lebanese players.
Al-Akhbar contacted coach Gray to clarify his reason for filing a lawsuit against the Al-Najma club and claiming this large sum. The Tunisian coach said the $ 75,000 he claims is the value of his contract with the star, after the club fired him. Graaya denied having resigned before being fired, as the star claims, noting that FIFA asked the club for the original copy of the resignation and not a photo from a phone that had been taken by the club’s director, Jamal Al-Jurdi. “I didn’t quit, I was fired because of a decision posted on the club’s official website on Facebook and in the media before it was removed from the site, but I had trusted it and it was translated and attached to the file. Furthermore, Mr. Ali Abbas’s lawyer indicated that any resignation to be effective must be accepted by the Administrative Committee at an official meeting. This is in the event that I quit, but I didn’t quit and I was fired. “
And Graia confirms that she will win the case “and when I get the money I will pay the lawyer’s fees and the rest will return to the star after Asaad Saqal’s departure from the club. Try to contact me through people close to the president and administrators to reach an agreement. But the problem is not a question of money, but rather a story of principles. I am not looking for money, so I will return the money that I will get to the club after Scaval is gone, ”Gray tells Al-Akhbar.


Poland: the star negotiates Murad

The Tunisian-Algerian legal expert Selim Poulsnam, who specializes in sports law, owns two files between Lebanon, Tunisia and Zurich. Ghanaian players Issaka Aboudo and Tunisian Mourad Al Hudhali are entrusted to him in the follow-up of the two cases against Al Najma Club in FIFA. Polsnam talks to Al-Akhbar about the two problems: in the case of Issaka, the ruling came as compensation to the player for back wages, on the one hand, and the contract was upheld on the other hand, considering that breaking the contract with him was arbitrary. , according to what FIFA saw. “I sent a warning to the club in accordance with FIFA regulations and gave it 15 days to pay the wages. Then I received statements from the club president, Asaad Saqal, in which he said that the players’ salaries exist, but the players refuse to receive them. Here, I sent another warning that the players are ready to receive salaries and fulfill the rest of the contract, but I did not receive a response from the club. Consequently, I went to the lawsuit and got a ruling. “As for Murad Al-Huthali, Polshnam indicates that FIFA’s decision will be similar to Issaka’s decision, with a slight difference in amount, which will approach the 52 thousand dollars, and it is supposed to be issued on the 19th of this month. The sports law expert reveals the existence of negotiations with the club’s lawyer to reach an agreement. “They offered us $ 21,000, which is the back wages de Murad al-Hudhali in exchange for waiving the lawsuit. As for me, I reject this offer as long as the player wins $ 52,000. But Murad accepted the settlement out of his love for the club, and just wanted to get his wages without penalty. He told me that he loves the Al-Nijmeh club and only wants his right, knowing that Murad and Issaka were affected by Al-Nijmeh’s book to FIFA to prevent players from signing for other clubs, as they are still players at the club. But Murad Sameh, who sent this lib ro, and Issaka wants the full amount. Murad Al-Hudhali’s question depends on the seriousness of the club in proposing the deal; otherwise we will await FIFA’s decision. “The legal expert concludes his talk with” Al-Akhbar. “


Soft: God is enough for me and yes the agent
The backlog of lawsuits against Al-Nijmeh Club worries a large number of Najmawis, who feel a danger to the club on more than one level. On the one hand, what happens is not appropriate for the history of the club, which may not be the record holder with the number of titles, but it is undoubtedly one of the most important Lebanese clubs historically if it were not the most important. In addition to that, the najmis are concerned that the club’s president, Asaad Saqal, will turn his back on the club and leave, especially when his term ends in June. In the event that Saqqal does not apply for a new term, the club may have significant debts if the cases continue, whether foreign or Lebanese, without paying the fees.
Concerns about his campaign, Al-Akhbar, to the club’s president, Asaad Saqqal, clarifying the reality of the stellar situation and how difficult it is.
“The situation is not difficult. We are men and we assume our responsibilities and we don’t run away. If we wanted to escape, we would have escaped a long time ago. Regarding the cases presented, the conditions before the trip of the foreign players were difficult at the bank level and there is no dollar in the country. FIFA’s decision on Issaka was unfair. The player is entitled to a salary of two or three months, but the club is obliged to pay the full value of his contract, as this is a lot. The foreign players left after the Lebanese Federation’s decision to cancel the foreigners in the remainder of the league if it is completed. In general, we send a letter to FIFA, appealing the decision on the basis of paying the full value of the contract, which is unfair. I insist that we are ready to pay the back wages of Isaka and Murad Al-Hudhali players immediately. But if we pay the full amount of the contract, then this is getting wet.
Here, I would like to make it clear to the public that while the club president seeks to find compromises with the players and remove the damage from the star, we did find some audiences and people from within the club, who previously instigated the players to present Cases, we find them contacting these players again and demanding that they not accept the agreements and compel the club to pay all the money. These people, by their actions, do not harm the happiest refiners, but the star of the club. God is enough for me and yes, the agent, “Saqqal told Al-Akhbar.
Saqqal’s words seem reassuring, especially since they intersect with the words of a person close to him, who confirms that there is no fear for the club, and that the president will not leave him, even if the latter does not want to talk about the upcoming elections. and apply for them. The nearby manager adds that the total amount of money owed to the club is not considered large and that the president can easily pay it off. Saqal is not satisfied that the reputation and reputation of the club are being shaken. The star is not afraid, “concludes the administrator of Najmawi.
