Imagine, from the two games, we pocketed a net of K808,000 but we spent about K1.5 million on accommodation and food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about other expenses? Imagine if this was a profit-making organisation.

There was a high turnout but the returns are questionable. We seem to be missing something seriously. We didn\u2019t expect to get K1.9 million. It all goes down to how we are managing our game. If we were professional enough, our football could have moved forward; otherwise, this is very demoralising,\u201d Chilonga said.<\/p>\n<p>Moyale GS, Isaac Banda, asked Sulom to act professionally in handling gate collections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY BERNARD MHONE: Be Forward Wanderers, Moyale Barracks and Mzuni FC have cried foul over gate proceeds they realised from their TNM Super League matches over the weekend.
