We are at an advanced stage with negotiations about players wanting to join the club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The chairperson added that the executive committee (Exco) is plotting strategies for the new season, and there are no departures from the current crop of players.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the team\u2019s stance on the recent supporter club meeting that was recently held in Windhoek, Adams said the meeting is not in the team\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the meeting was held by the same people who do not acknowledge the current leadership following the court victory, and thus prompted them to abscond it.<\/p>\n<p>Adams revealed the leaders know nothing about the meeting, which he said was organised by individuals who do not acknowledge the current Exco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you expect us to attend a Bosberaad meeting? These are the group of disgruntled people who are still having a terrible hangover,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>He said they are the same people who supported the club to be taken to court, and they lost the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way we would ever attend a meeting being spearheaded by those who ridiculed and on record as saying they don\u2019t recognise our leadership. They will do anything to see our backs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said he does not see sincerity and honesty in the supporters who called the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are the same groups of people who made BA lose points and be fined by the league. They behave as if they have a monopoly of wisdom over all of us. Respect is two ways: you respect me, I respect you. If not, you can take a dive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He divulged the club is in the process of formalising matters, and it will hold its annual general meeting in Khorixas in November this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need any destruction at this moment,\u201d the chairperson noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
