It was back to back morale-sapping defeats by teams who are
clearly underdogs to Valencia that galvanized coach Iqbal to launch into a fans’ anger-quelling mission
by saying during transfer window they would strengthen their squad.
In about 12 days’ time we say bye-bye to the transfer deadline
and resume Dhivehi league. Whatever Iqbal has said is yet to take wings.
Of course a long way to go before the final day of transfer, but one cannot
help but wonder why on earth they must make a bold statement and keep a low
profile. They really gave the impression they were diving into transfer-pool
the next day.
Perhaps it was a gimmick, a ploy by coach to pacify angry
supporters who had to bear with the distressing scene of their team threshed by
all and sundry.
No surprise if they don't open their purse for shopping given how most of our clubs survive on shoestring budget for the whole season.But the fear is what if..what if they don't get a forward, a lethal one at that, to find them goals and plenty of it. Because they need it, badly. Their position in the table is precarious.
If they start to falter in the coming matches it may not be long before the stark reality of relegation stare right into the face and dump you into a division that is not worthy of your illustrious name.
