Athletes identified three main reasons behind the problem of instability of the Northern Emirates clubs whenever they went up to the Arab Gulf League, and they said that these clubs usually suffer the absence of long-term future plans, besides they do not have an important budget, which allows them in particular to secure the necessary contracts, along with The problem of short-term contracts that allow it to lose to its players after the year of ascent.
During their conversation with Emirates Today, they said that the solution lies in raising the ceiling of aspirations beyond the ambition of staying only, with clear future plans.
And the former coach of Al Dhaid team, Mohammed Saeed Al Tunaiji, said, "The drop of the emerging teams after one or two seasons is not a fixed rule, as it is with Al Dhafra and Bani Yas, after we managed to stay in the professionals for a long time and only fell once in 10 seasons." He explained that the two teams have proven that they are able to compete with the big teams.
He added: “Unfortunately, the Northern Emirates clubs are the ones that have been linked to the base of the rookie, which is generally declining. The reason for this is that they are planning for one season, which is the boarding season, and most of them do not have a plan of action for the first ascent and staying second, then continue in the professionals later, which is reflected in The results in the sense that she is thinking about going up and working for him without taking into consideration what is beyond, so she returns again to the amateurs. ”
He stressed that the other reasons are the lack of sufficient financial budgets to recruit players and coaches at the level of other clubs that are stable in the professional.
Keep the players
For his part, the former national team player, Bashir Saeed, affirmed that it is not a condition that the rise and fall of the teams be confined to the names of certain clubs, but rather is related to how the teams that climb from the first degree to the professional league and how to prepare them, explaining that there are several reasons, but in my opinion, the main reason for the inability of some Newly emerging clubs for survival and relegation are due to the lack of a long-term plan that secures stability, as well as preserving players and coaches without compromising them.
He said: Amateur clubs suffer another problem, that most players ’contracts are for one season, so the team is threatened with disintegration if more than one player leaves, which affects the team’s technical return, so you see it suffering in survival, while if the players’ contracts were for two or three years For the required stability, I believe that if there was a better contracting method than that, the teams ’chances of excellence and survival would be better than reality.
Financial temptations
For his part, former member of Khorfakkan club management Mohamed Ali Al-Gohary emphasized that the reason is that clubs were unable to keep the players who achieved the rise, because of the financial temptations offered by the financially empowered clubs and attract the distinguished from them, and they are usually the pillars of the team.
He said that this affects the structure of the youth team, which is difficult to replace while playing in the professional.
Al-Gohari said: The first-class clubs departments looking to climb are required to set an early work plan for two consecutive seasons, one in competition for the climb, and the other with competition for survival, but this is very difficult for them despite having the proper planning, because they collide with the financial budget difference between the first and the professionals And it can only plan for one season, which will lose the administrative and technical stability that the professional clubs excel, which leads to its decline again.
