The suspended Technical Adviser of Enyimba of Aba, Austin Eguavoen has refuted claims credited to the chairman of the club, Felix Anyansi Agwu about his purported suspension but insisted he turned in his resignation letter earlier on on Thursday afternoon.
Quoting his exact words: "SportingLife on Thursday carried a report of the placing of Enyimba's players on a half salary. Before now, the players were being owed huge sums of money and that has been our biggest problem. It is the reason the boys are not giving 100 per cent commitment. At times, we train with four or five players and the management knows about this but we have always been managing the situation because it is not proper to wash our dirty linen outside.
" When you now place these same players on a half salary, how do you get the best from them? That was why this afternoon I turned in my resignation letter but I heard he (Anyansi, ed.) is not in town. Maybe they have already told him about it (my resignation) and maybe he wanted to be smart and tell the whole world I was suspended when in fact I had resigned. Does that make sense? He gave us papers that we have been placed on a half salary and there was nothing like I had been suspended there. But because I had resigned he wanted to quickly tell the world that they suspended me."
It was Eguavoen's second stint with Enyimba having guided the club to the 2008 Federation Cup title in Owerri, Imo State.
