'Delayed for the umpteenth time, the transfers might again be deferred', feared the booters who attended their sit-in programme for the third successive day at the BFF Bhaban yesterday.

The programme has been given in demand of rolling the game after more than a year's gap and the start of the transfer after almost two years.

Although the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is willing to begin the transfer tomorrow, a few clubs have suddenly expressed reservation over the decision though they have repeatedly said they have had prepared.

The BFF has no control over the participating clubs and should be held responsible if they cannot start it on its latest schedule.

Joining the current players fighting for their rights, former national captain Badal Roy blamed the BFF for creating the deadlock.

"They brought the game on the verge of destruction. In the past, football might have been irregular. But now with a ground available, why they can't get the game going I don't understand," said Badal.

Seikh Mohhamad Aslam termed the executive committee worst in his 30-year involvement with football.

"They should resign because of their failure to hold the league," said the ex-national striker.

"The scene here is frustrating. The booters are anxious. They are supposed to play, not staging protests. The BFF now has an exclusive venue and even a separate establishment. But where is football heading?" he questioned.
