Sulom dismisses Wanderers’ complaint over fixture congestion: Fear of match fixing in Malawi title

Super League of Malawi (Sulom) has thrown out a complaint by TNM Super League leaders and title favourites over fixture congestion at “the tail-end of the league season.”

Wanderers secretary general Mike Butao has lodged a complaint to Sulom asking thta “all contenders for the title be given equal number of games per week so that there is no pressure on one team to play catch up.”

Butao said both Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers have  been given two games next week while the Nomads have only one game.

“Please level the playing field for all of us so that we win or lose games on the field of play, not due to toher factors,” said Butao.

However, Sulom general secretary Williams Banda  dismissed the complaint by Wanderers.

Banda said Wanderers should  just “hold their hearts and God will accord them the way.”

Soccer commentators have persuaded Sulom to revise fixtures in order to avoid match fixing as the flasgship league heads towards the boiling point.

Be Forward Wanderers are leading with 58 points from 25 games four above seconded -placed Nyasa Big Bullets with 54 points, while Silver Strikers are coming third with 50 points from the same number of games and they all have five games to wrap up the title campaign.

Former Nyasa Big Bullets general secretary Higger Mkandawire said there is need to revise the fixtures by making sure that all contenders play the same number of games and their matches fixed at the same date.

“At this stage of the League it is proper for Sulom to make sure that Be Forward Wanderers, Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers play the same number of games. Games involving these three teams are also supposed to be fixed at the same day in order to avoid match fixing,” said Mkandawire.

Veteran soccer analyst, Charles Nyirenda  also said the three league contenders should be treated the same.

“I second this idea that let us allow these three league contenders to play games at the same day to avoid match fixing,” said Nyirenda.

For instance, on Sunday Silver Strikers will play Mzuni at Mzuzu Stadium. That means by Sunday, the bankers will have played 26 games while Bullets and Wanderers will remain on 25.

Come Thursday, on 23rd November, 2017, Nyasa Big Bullets will join Silver Strikers with 26 games as they take on Azam Tigers at MDC Stadium. This means that Wanderers will still  be behind with a game to Silver and Bullets.

Sulom were not available to comment on this fixture mess, as general secretary Williams Banda is reported outside the country

Of coz even in the international leagues its only on the last day of the league that games start at the same time to avoid match fixing and stuff. But yeah until the last weeks of the league it would be hard for teams to play identical number of games. Especially with the situation where our teams dont have their own stadia that makes for a scheduling nightmare.
