Kontrak Butler tamat automatik?


Peter Butler 
 

KUALA TERENGGANU - Malang bertimpa buat jurulatih Terengganu, Peter Butler apabila dia bukan sahaja digantung selama enam bulan tetapi mungkin terpaksa meninggalkan skuad Penyu lebih awal daripada yang dijangkakan.

Ini kerana kontrak Butler mungkin terbatal secara automatik kerana mengikut peraturan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) pemain dan pegawai akan terbatal kontrak jika mereka digantung lebih 30 hari.

Semalam, Butler menerima surat rasmi mengenai penggantungannya daripada Setiausaha Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Terengganu (PBSNT), Abdullah Salleh pukul 11 pagi.
Abdullah ketika dihubungi memberitahu, surat itu diserahkan sendiri kepada jurulatih itu di pejabat PBSNT di sini.

Jelas Abdullah, riak wajah Butler berubah sebaik sahaja membaca surat tersebut kerana menyangka ia hanya berkaitan isu penggantungan, pemotongan gaji serta denda sebanyak RM4,000 yang dikenakan oleh PBSNT sebelum ini.

"Dia (Butler) seolah-olah tidak dapat menerima hakikat bahawa kontraknya mungkin akan ditamatkan lebih awal iaitu 30 hari selepas dia digantung.

"Ini Berdasarkan peraturan FAM selepas 30 hari, kontraknya tamat secara automatik," ujar beliau.
Di Kuala Lumpur, Naib Presiden FAM, Datuk Hamidin Mohd. Amin ketika dihubungi mengesahkan mengikut peraturan FAM, para pemain, jurulatih serta pegawai pasukan yang digantung melebihi tempoh 30 hari secara automatiknya akan ditamatkan.

Tambah Abdullah, Butler juga ada memberitahunya akan berjumpa dengan Presiden PBSNT, Datuk Che Mat Jusoh dan Timbalannya, Sheikh Tajudin Sheikh Yusof bagi membincangkan lebih lanjut mengenai perkara itu.

Butler dikenakan hukuman tersebut setelah didapati bersalah membuat kenyataan kepada media mengenai dua pemain skuad Penyu tanpa kebenaran PBSNT.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
