Arambagh miss transfer window
Arambagh Krira Shanga’s last effort to extend the players’ transfer window for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) went in vain and virtually lead them to make the final decision to pull out of the transfers yesterday.
Arambagh KS general secretary Yaqub Ali sought an extension for the transfers’ window at yesterday’s meeting of the professional football league committee, which however stuck to its previous decision to close the window on November 20.
“Everyone sympathises with Arambagh KS as its general secretary Yaqub Ali sought the extension of the players’ transfers but it was not possible to extend the window as all the other clubs have already invested themselves and formed their respective squads and they can’t sit idle for one club. Besides, we can’t keep other clubs waiting because of one club,” said BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag after the meeting.
“Though the Arambagh official told the meeting that they will be trying to form a squad after discussing the matter with other officials, it seems that they won’t be able to form the squad within the time-frame,” continued Shohag, adding that Mohammedan also sought a two-week extensions for the transfers but have nevertheless begun the processes of forming a squad.
An Arambagh KS official on Sunday told The Daily Star that they decided in principle to pull out of the ongoing transfer window due to financial constraints as the club has remained closed since RAB busted several illegal gambling dens at clubs which included Arambagh KS.
