Amend league table - RTU

Real Tamale United (RTU) has called on the Ghana Football Association to amend the league table to reflect the correct trend of affairs in the league.

If, however, the FA cannot produce accurate results and records, then a new body should be considered to handle such issues, RTU has contended. In a release signed by their secretary, Abdul-Kadri Ibrahim, RTU said the current league table making the rounds has vindicated those who criticised the FA that it has no record keeping ethics.

The release said for the past two weeks, RTU has been credited with a wrong points build-up, which has created the impression that they are not doing well at all in the league. A record of results of their matches indicated that the club has recorded eleven wins, five draws and twelve losses so far in the twenty-eight week old league, amassing a total of thirty-eight points.

RTU said out of this figure, they are contesting six points at the Appeals and Disciplinary Committees. It said not only did the FA fail to credit them with their correct points build-up, but they have also been credited with only twenty nine-points without any explanation.

RTU has therefore, called on the GFA to rectify the anomaly in order not to discourage their sponsors who may think they are not performing and hence not worth the sponsorship.
