Football critics have dismissed the move to raise funds through public launching to boost the finances of Kano Pillars football club to enable the Nigeria league champions, embark on a successful continental campaign next season.
A public fund raising ceremony slated for Friday 5t September 2008, which had to be postponed owning to the death of a state legislator, was aimed at raising funds for the Pyramid city side.
This initiative has come under heavy criticism, described as one of the indicators of the shabby manner in which so called professional club side s are managed in Nigeria.
Clubs are meant to be ran as private enterprises and not reliant donations, professional football clubs are money spinning structures and are not Non- Governmental organization, said one stake holder who would not want his name on print.
Bothering the minds of seasoned football analyst are – Why the need for a fund raiser, can’t the owners of the club fund its continental engagement next season? Where the fund raiser never takes place or fail to generate enough fund what happens?, where pledges are made and not fulfilled are we in to see Pillars fc failing to honor engagements when the campaign kicks off
