WISE WILL EMERGE AMONG TOP FOUR (PAGE 11, GRAPHIC SPORTS, JAN 8, 2010)

The Chief Executive of Sekondi Eleven Wise, Jamil Maraby, is unfazed by recent setbacks suffered by his side, saying they will overcome them to post a place among the Top Four brasket at the end of the season.
He said the current team has the potential to go places if the fans remained patient and support the club to perform.
In a post-match interview with the Graphic Sports after his side had handed a humiliating 4-1 defeat to city rivals Sekondi Hasaacas, Maraby assured the fans that management would ensure that the players were paid promptly and motivated.
“Our position on the table should not be used to judge the performance of the team and arrive at some hasty conclusions, adding that the team will improve because its performance was comparable to other known clubs competing in the league.
”This was clear when we played against Hearts of Oak and Hasaacas”, he stated.
Asked if the current performance was motivated by some incentives to the players and the technical team, Maraby said “the players are naturally motivated and they will do what it takes to make sure that the right results were delivered to the funs.”
He said the club would continue to adopt the most innovative and scientific approach to management to ensure that they achieved their dreams.
Mr Maraby said he did not want to play down agitations by the few fans who have been calling for changes in the face of the setbacks, saying it was important to deliver the needed goal to keep them happy.
“I have so much hope in my team and the technical men, judging from the last five matches one could tell that the players did their best. And we will continue from there,” he said,
Some of the fans who spoke to the Graphic Sports said the coaches should focus on clinical finishing of the crosses that could otherwise be easily converted into goals.
They congratulated the team and urged management to ensure that they won most of the remaining matches to ensure that they achieved their dreams at the end of the season.
A die hard supporter,Mr Joseph Prah, said the last time the team was relegated, it took them a decade to return to the premiership.
“The performance of the two Western Region teams, (Wise and Hasaacas) has been unsatisfactory this season, but Wise have the potential to be among the top four at the end of the season,” he said.
