Some Silver Strikers former players have reacted angrily to the Bankers\u2019 decision to let go captain Blessings Tembo, who has completed a free transfer to Be Forward Wanderers.
\nThe former players vented their anger on Silver\u2019s Executive Committee through their Facebook postings.
\nThe Daily Times had, as we went to press, not yet sought permission from the former players to publish their comments in the newspaper.
\n\u201cSilver Strikers FC Executive committee is a big shame! They released our captain Lucky Malata and now they have let Blessings Tembo go! Team yangosanduka academy [the team has been turned into an academy]! Tinyozeka [we will be embarrassed]!,\u201d a former winger wrote.
\nAnother former player for Silver, who now plays in the Mozambique league, lashed out at the executive for being selfish.
\n\u201cExecutive ya Silver yachuluka anthu osadziwa zampira [the executive is full of people who have no idea about football administration],\u201d he wrote.
\nSilver interim General Secretary, Thabo Nyirenda, yesterday dismissed assertions that they allowed Tembo to leave, saying they were discussing his contract extension.
\n\u201cWe think he would regret the decision. I think he has been ill-advised. All indications were there that he would sign for us, only to learn from the social media that he had signed for Wanderers. We were also shocked to see the photos,\u201d Nyirenda said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
