I’m Delighted With The State Of Remo Stars Despite Promotion Headaches — Proprietor

By Obaseki Anthony on October 17, 2019

Proprietor of Ogun State-based football club, Remo Stars of Ikenne, Hon. Kunle Soname, has insisted that he is not bothered about the promotion and sustainability of the club in the NPFL, saying that his club is a well-structured football outfit aimed at players’ development.

Soname, who was speaking at a recent stakeholders’ forum of Gateway United Football Club in Abeokuta, the state capital, said he sees playing in the NPFL as a waste of time since things are not done properly in the league.

“My club has gone up twice and come back twice. For me as a football investor playing in the NPFL is a waste of time, money, energy and other resources.

“Within the past four years, I’ve sent 14 young players to Europe. If I relegate or not, I don’t care. Playing in the league is only meant to prepare the boys for future task ahead alone,” he said.

Soname however stressed that once the structure of the club is maintained, promotion into the elite league will come easily.

“I will always tell my coach that you’re not here to automatically promote the team. Player development is the first aim.

“In doing all these, if properly done, promotion will always come through with it,” he stated.

Remo Stars will play in the second tier of Nigeria football this season, the NNL.
