Founder and bank-roller of premier league side Kumasi King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Gruzah is pleading with players and officials of his club to exercise some restraint following their frustration as a result of their unpaid salaries for the past four months.The veteran football administrator wants the players to be patient as he rallies round to gather some funds to settle all arrears and including promised GHc1000 owed each player as winning bonuses.It was reported that players of the Kumasi based club nearly boycotted their match day 28 fixture against Amidaus Professionals in Kumasi as a result of this financial turmoil. It took the timely intervention of head coach Mallam Yahaya and his assistant Prince Sabuto Acheampong to calm tampers. Alhaji Karim Gruzah admits to difficult financial times for King Faisal but is assuring the problem would be solved soon.“It’s a big situation but even on Wednesday we got something for them, after the match. Ever since King Faisal joined the premier league in 1995, we have never faced a situation like this, but Insha Allah we are going to pay them.The players should be patient, we appreciate them because they are sacrificing so much for King Faisal. It is not our fault, formerly MTN were sponsoring us but now they are sponsoring Kotoko. So they should hold on for just a little bit, we will pay them Insha Allah.” he told JOY Sports
