PHUKET: The president of the Phuket Football Club (Phuket FC) is fuming after news reports about the club’s alleged financial troubles went public earlier this month.

Reports stated that management owed club players and staff two months in back pay, amounting to more than 1.6 million baht. Reports also stated that electricity services were cut at the team’s headquarters, after 30,000 baht in bills was left unpaid.

“This whole issue is very upsetting to me,” Ma-Ann Samran, president of Phuket FC told the Phuket Gazette. “I have no idea why these news reports have circulated. This is an internal issue and we are working to remedy it. This news has done nothing but damage the reputation of the whole team as well as that of Phuket.”

This is very unfair and Khun Ma-Ann should be given more time.

It took him years to turn Surin into the joke that it is now despite the fact that any street vendor with half a satang of business sense could see what was going to happen but he's only been on the job at Phuket FC for a few months.

Check back in a few more months when the pitch is a desolate wasteland of scavengers and rubble, sitting in the stands is punishable by a fine of 4 million baht, there are no paid players at all, the board of governors has expanded to include 287 members of his immediate friends and family and Sepp Blatter has been hired as the chief business advisor.
