Transfer embargo set to sink Fish

CRISIS club Fisher Athletic’s financial problems have come to light, following the Football Association sanctioning a transfer embargo on the relegation threatened Blue Square South club.

The south London club believe such a measure will cripple them.

The following statement was issued on the club’s website www.fisherathletic.co.uk on Friday.

“In light of the FA sanctioning a transfer embargo on the club effectively ending any chance of Fisher realistically competing in the Blue Square South this season, and possibly ending any hope of the club completing their league fixtures this campaign the Press Team have decided to suspend all news activity for the foreseeable future.

“After extensive deliberation we have decided to take this drastic stance over the injustice imposed on us by the league. The player in question claiming breach of contract who signed 18 months ago, carried a career ending injury and never played a competitive game for Fisher.

“Despite the club operating on a voluntary basis over the past three months meaning a high player turnover, this league stance is a crippling blow.

“The league are fully aware of the clubs dire financial situation but have taken this drastic action all the same.

“As a result, the Press Team will not be producing any matchday programmes going forward knowingly breaking FA and League regulations.

“We all hope that Fisher can survive in some form for many years to come as a community club back serving the people of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe where the Fish belong.”
