FAMB in danger

THE FA of Malaysia could land itself in hot water with Fifa if Pahang FA continues to ignore an order by the international governing body to pay wage arrears to a former player.
A deadline to pay Russian Eduard Sakhnevich US$48,000 (RM154,000) passed on Wednesday without Pahang settling the order.
Sakhnevich’s contract was prematurely terminated in 2012, when Pahang were still in the Premier League, and the player reportedly claimed he was “thrown out of my house with my wife and two kids.”
The Russian striker’s agent, Ricky B. Swen Jr claimed in an e-mail to Timesport that Pahang FA wanted to negotiate a settlement despite Fifa’s Dispute Resolution Chamber having already reached a decision.
This was confirmed by Pahang FA general secretary Fuzzemi Ibrahim.
“We are in the process of resolving the matter,” he told Timesport yesterday.
When asked what he meant, Fuzzemi said: “We are negotiating,” before abruptly hanging up and refusing to answer subsequent calls to his mobile phone.
However, Swen said his client is not interested in negotiations and wants the money owed to Sakhnevich to be paid instantly.
“Pahang FA has ignored the world governing body of football’s instructions to pay the US$48,000 within 30 days,” said Swen in his e-mail.
“There is no negotiation about payment. It must be done in full.
“My client suffered an abusive contract termination without just cause. Eduard played five matches and scored four goals during his stay in Pahang.
“The head coach at the time was Dollah Salleh and he was 100 per cent happy with the striker’s performance. My client did not even ask for compensation. He needs the full payment today. There is nothing to negotiate.”
Should Pahang FA fail to obey Fifa’s order, FAM would be held responsible as Pahang FA’s parent body and could itself face sanctions from Fifa.
Sakhnevich has the option of referring the matter “to Fifa’s disciplinary committee for consideration and a formal decision,” according to the order.
Last week, the Pahang government announced an RM600,000 reward for its team to share after winning the FA Cup.
