Dont change for the sake of change- football experts warn Bullets, Wanderers

Renowned Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) football commentators Patrick Simango and Steve Liwewe Banda have warned Malawi’s football giants Big Bullets and Mighty Wanderers to tread carefully with recycled football administrators who are castigating elections with the aim of bringing confusion in the teams.

This follows recent calls by the supporters who have demanded for general elections within the two clubs.

The soccer pundits have warned supporters not to change for the sake of changing saying these recycled administrators will brought nothing new to these clubs. Speaking during midweek sports program on MBC radio 2, the duo asked the fans not to change for the sake of mediocrity.

“These are the administrators who were given the chance to run these clubs but they run away and leaving the teams in total disarray. What has made them to come back when the teams have just clinched multi-million sponsorship deals?”

“Be careful with these people, you might ruin your clubs. For example, look at Bullets, they struggled to secure a sponsorship for the past 11 years, Sam Chilunga, coming in as a Chairman and within a year, securing such a multi-million sponsorship deal, don’t you think he deserves a chance to run the club without any obstacle? Wondered the pundits.”

Of late, supporters have been demanding fresh elections for the main and supporters committee, with Wanderers sponsors Be Forward showing disappointment with the elections call.

The George Chamangwana led executive committee managed to secure a K105 million sponsorship package with Be Forward whilst Chilunga led executive committee at Bullets secured a K0.5 billion sponsorship package with Nyasa Manufacturing Company Limited.
