Rangers beg Gov Chime for financial support

By KATE OBODO
Enugu Rangers are soliciting for financial support from the state governor Sullivan Chime to enable them  pay their outstanding debts like players sign-on-fees for the last and current season. Media Officer of the club, Foster Chime told Inside out Premier League, that lack of funds has affected the running of the club, as he called on the state government to come to their aid.

“The management of Rangers has met with the technical crew concerning the  performance so far. Management gave an order to offload some players for new players. About Five players might be offloaded and because we want to start early, the players have been give a week break to resume training in earnest on Monday.

We have been into serious financial debt, talking about the players sign-on-fees which we have not finished paying . So far we were able to pay  40% for  last season and still owing 60%, while for this season nothing has been paid to the players  and  technical crew. We are owing close to half a million.
