Rangers to Heartland--- You can’t stop a player that desires to leave

              Enugu Rangers have counselled Heartland FC not to continue holding on to players that have made their stand known that they were ready to move on to seek green pasture elsewhere that it could be counter productive.
               The Flying Antelopes’ Director of Media and Publicity, Foster Chime in an interview hinted that two of their top players: captain, Cyril Oriaku and striker, Christian Obiozor signified their intention to leave for another club and they are now today playing for Dolphins and Kano Pillars respectively.
Chime also noted that the threat by the Naze Millionaires to drag Rangers to a civil court will no doubt make them to incur the wrath of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) advising the club instead to allow players in their domain who have informed them they want to leave, to go, so as to avoid the backlash.
Chime noted that the player in question, Bobby Clement has
ceased to be their player since he only joined them on loan due to the arrangement between them and Clement’s agent, Yomi Itshekure who is noted for only negotiating loan deals for players under his stable.
“I don’t know what Heartland are fretting over because the information available to us about Bobby Clement says he moved to Owerri on loan from his agent Yomi Itshekure and he has desired to leave them for another club.
“No one can hold on to a player that has decided to move on. We sold two of our players, Cyril Oriaku who is our captain and Christian Obiozor because they said they wanted to leave. You cannot hold on to a player against his wish.
“Heartland also said they would be taking us to a law court. They know the repercussion if they do that. It is best for them to let sleeping dog lie and focus their attention on getting new players to replace those that have gone,” Chime told SportingLife.
