“You think Stake, your shirt sponsor, will be happy with this rubbish, @EnyimbaFC?

Eljumick tweeted, “You see why (Nwankwo) Kanu is not fit for this job? What sort of rubbish is this? Please @alexottiofr what sort of embarrassment is this? Aba alone have a lot of printing companies. What’s this na???”

Raph added, “Let’s keep making a mockery of ourselves. Enyimba has a lot to learn from the new generation clubs like Sporting Lagos and Remo Stars. Living on past glory won’t take them far anymore.”
