No Candidates for Club Presidency as Provisional Committee Term Ends
The deadline for the provisional committee has arrived at the end of September, and no candidates have come forward for the club presidency.
Lack of Candidates Delays Election
The elective general assembly, which was scheduled for July, has not resolved the issue of the presidency. In fact, due to the lack of candidates at that time, the assembly was postponed until the end of September in the hope that a candidate would come forward. However, once again, no one has stepped forward to run for the position.
The president of the provisional committee, Samir Yaâcoub, whose term is currently expiring, announced last season that he would not run for another term. This decision seems to have been well thought out and does not come as a surprise to anyone.
If he extended his term for a provisional period, it was mainly to clean up the club's financial situation, he repeatedly emphasized. Paying off the club's debts was his priority! Now, if he insists on leaving, he must have his reasons.
One of the reasons was revealed during a radio interview in which he pointed out his critics, without naming them, who allegedly threatened his family after the famous match against CA in Bizerte. However, since things did not go as planned, the plan failed, according to Yaâcoub himself.
A Difficult Situation
This information, which is very serious, is it plausible in the eyes of observers? We will never know the truth if there is no investigation into the matter! It is true that Samir Yaâcoub's tenure as head of the northern club has not been smooth sailing. Managing a professional club today has become extremely difficult due to the demands of supporters. The consequence of this toxic atmosphere in stadiums no longer encourages potential candidates to take on such a responsibility.
These days, a club president has become a rare commodity, hence the trend of provisional committees. However, the timing is not opportune at all. It would have been better to hold on until the end of the last season to leave, rather than now, in the middle of the road.
This late and premature decision, depending on one's perspective, does not serve the interests of the club in either case, as this wait-and-see attitude disrupts the technical staff and the team. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating! The days to come will shed light on the club's near future.
