  • Allardyce apologies to Leeds fans after failure to stop relegation

    Allardyce apologies to Leeds fans after failure to stop relegation

    Sam Allardyce was parachuted into Leeds United on a rescue mission to keep the club above the drop zone but was left apologising to fans.

    This was after they were relegated on Sunday, saying the squad lacked the talent and depth of the top teams.

    Leeds were thrashed 4-1 at home by Tottenham Hotspur though even a win would not have been enough as fellow relegation battlers Everton beat Bournemouth 1-0 to stay up.

    The Yorkshire side finished second-bottom, five points adrift of the safety zone and six above Southampton.

    “It’s really sad Leeds are in this position and to the fans I apologise.

    “I didn’t do better and the players didn’t do better and try and win at least two out of the four games and give ourselves a better opportunity to stay in the Premier League,” Allardyce said referring to his matches in charge.

    He told reporters the relegation was “professional suicide.”

    Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham ran roughshod over Leeds and there was a mix of boos and muted applause from the Elland Road crowd after the final whistle blew on a dreadful season.

    “Most of it comes down to how good are your players?

    “These players have tried very hard and I can’t fault their effort but as a squad they haven’t been good enough by the fact that they’re in the bottom three in the Premier League.

    “And I would have loved it if I could have got a little bit more out of them, so I take responsibility for that,” added Allardyce.

    The 68-year-old Allardyce, Leeds’ fourth manager this season, announced his shock return to the game after two years away on May 3 by boldly saying he was “just as good” as Pep Guardiola, Juergen Klopp and Mikel Arteta.

    But Leeds earned just a point out of his four games on the touchline.

    “It’s tough our world when things start failing and when they start failing and confidence starts going it’s very difficult to claw it back.

    “You have to just put that behind you and come back and be more determined in terms of what you’re going to achieve next year in terms of how to get out of the Championship,” he said.

    Asked if he will make a pitch for the manager’s job for next season, Allardyce said there would be discussions next week, “when we get over the disappointment of getting relegated.

    “The last thing I wanted was to be the man who took Leeds United down. I tried all we possibly could try to get the players to get better results.

    Having quality players, Allardyce said, was all about recruitment “…because better players and more intelligent players make you a better coach, make everybody at the club better, make it a happy club going forward.”

    Needing nothing short of a victory on Sunday to have a chance of avoiding relegation, the much-travelled manager was asked why he named six defenders for the game.

    “Why do you think that was?” Allardyce snapped. “See, you don’t need to be a head coach or anything like that to understand the need for a clean sheet. Because we had conceded 74 goals.”

    “I’m sorry for getting a bit touchy, but it is a bad day for me,” he added.

    ‘You denied Nigerians of a decent life’ – Sowore reacts to Buhari’s apology

    The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, Omoyole Sowore has reacted to an apology offered to Nigerians by President Muhammadu Buhari as his administration comes to a close.

    Buhari had on Friday asked Nigerians to pardon him, especially those he might have hurt while discharging his duties.

    Sowore reacted to Buhari’s apologies via his official Twitter handle outlining the reasons why Buhari may never be pardoned for his actions during his tenure.

    “You denied Nigerians of a decent life, you denied children, women, men -old and young- an opportunity to live and thrive.

    “You destroyed businesses, you took innocent lives, you destroyed the educational sector, you deprived the sick and infirm of an opportunity to be nursed to health. You unjustly detained and imprisoned many.

    “You encouraged violence where you couldn’t carry it out yourself. You created division through religious bigotry and ethnicity. Yourself, your family members, cronies and members of your cabal perpetrated untold corruption”, Sowore tweeted.

  • Brighton get apology after refereeing body admits penalty kick error

    Brighton get apology after refereeing body admits penalty kick error

    English Premier League (EPL) side Brighton & Hove Albion have received an apology from England’s refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).

    The apology came after the refereeing governing body admitted Kaoru Mitoma should have been awarded a penalty kick during Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League loss at Tottenham Hotspur.

    The Seagulls endured a frustrating afternoon with manager Roberto De Zerbi sent off, alongside Spurs’ acting head coach Cristian Stellini for an incident between the two benches in the 58th minute.

    The visitors also had two goals disallowed for handball.

    One of their biggest grievances occurred with 20 minutes left when Mitoma had his foot trod on by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg inside the penalty area.

    But referee Stuart Attwell waved away appeals and VAR never called for the incident to be reviewed with the score 1-1.

    PGMOL chief refereeing officer Howard Webb has since made contact with Brighton.

    Webb is understood to have apologised and acknowledged it was a mistake by the officials not to award a penalty kick for the challenge by Hojbjerg on Mitoma.

    It is the latest show of greater transparency from Webb and a further example of his efforts to engage in open communications with clubs since he started his role at the PGMOL.

    De Zerbi did not want to be drawn into criticising the officials after the match but did admit: “When I was in the dressing room, there was a clear penalty kick for Mitoma.

    “You can’t find one situation from my bench where I spoke to the referee to complain some decisions.

    “I think I could say something because nothing for the penalty kick for Mitoma, nothing for the goal for (Danny) Welbeck and I am sorry for this.”

    Ebele tenders apology to Bianca, Ndigbo, set to run for Anambra North Senatorial election

    Former Anambra First Lady ,Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, has formerly tendered her apology to current Governor Charles Soludo, APGA,Ndigbo over the drama that ensued between her and Mrs Bianca Ojukwu at the inauguration programme of Soludo in March.

    Ebele is nursing a political ambition and will be declaring her intention to contest for the Anambra North senatorial post in the 2023 general elections.

    Addressing pressmen in Akwa on Wednesday,the former First Lady reveals her plans to vie for the senatorial position in the state.

    Her statement reads“My interest to join the Senatorial race is in response to an overwhelming pressure and calls from my people to represent them in the Senate at the National Assembly, Abuja”.

    “As has been attested to by the good people of Anambra State, service to people, humanity and sharing love and putting smiles on sad faces are my priority in life, and I know that it is the will of God because the Bible says that God is Love.

    “Therefore, having witnessed and been positively touched by my ever willing disposition to care for people, empower the poor and needy, especially women and children, particularly widows, orphans and the destitute, my people decided that I should come and serve them better in a higher capacity,” she said.

    The former First Lady therefore said that she is willing, ready and has accepted the call by her people to come and service them.

    “All those who know me can testify that before and throughout my eight years as the First Lady of State, I pursued peace, promoted philanthropic gestures which empowered many of our less privileged people. No excuse can therefore be tenable as justification for such public embarrassment, no matter the height of provocation.

    “Equally, I wish to extend the same apology to all the important dignitaries, the people of Anambra State, as well as the entire Ndigbo for that unintended embarrassment at the occasion.

    “I want to use this opportunity to pledge that I will wholeheartedly support and pray for the Government of His Excellency, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to excell exceedingly better than the immediate past government, even as he builds on the legacy of his predecessor, my husband, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano, and take our dear State to a higher level.

  • 72hrs ultimatum: Air Peace, Kano’s monarch feud deepens

    72hrs ultimatum: Air Peace, Kano’s monarch feud deepens

    Cousin of the Emir of Kano, Isa Bayero, has given Air Peace airline a 72-hour ultimatum to offer an apology, in a national daily, for allegedly ‘disrespecting’ the monarch and causing a delay to his flight.

    Bayero, who is the chief protocol officer for the Emir of Kano,
    Aminu Ado Bayero, had written a letter of complaint to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), seeking punitive actions against Air Peace Airline for what he tagged “disrespect to the emir and the people of Kano State.

    But Air Peace reacted, saying that it did not disrespect the Emir of Kano as alleged in the petition.

    The airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Toyin Olajide, argued that Air Peace holds the Emir of Kano in the highest regards and contrary to the insinuation that the emir was disrespected, the airline indeed protected the image of the traditional ruler “by not succumbing to what Isa Bayero wanted us to do.”

    In a latest development, Bayero said: “I am giving an ultimatum of 72 hours for Air Peace to tender an apology to the emir, first in a national daily and secondly to come down in person to the emir. We would not hesitate to go extra miles to correct the ‘misnormal’.

    “The action of Air Peace is sentimental and unprofessional and we can go any length to defend and protect any act of insensitivity against our prestigious traditional institution.

    “That insult is not heaped on the emir alone but on the good people of Kano and folding our hands on this could trigger something worse and more ridiculous.

    “I wrote to the DG NCAA, to complain but if someone claimed my statement is inciting, well, they are entitled to their opinion. But come to think of it, inciting who? Kano people not to fly Air Peace anymore because the airline insulted their emir and refused to apologise? That I have no regret if anybody claimed or interprets my complaint that way.

    “After all, Air Peace has been in business before coming to Kano and Kano people have been flying across the world without Air Peace. So if that is what he wanted, so be it, we will get there.

    “I am a professional pilot. I have flown five heads of state besides being a prince of Kano, and I am a personal friend to the Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Onyema.”
