The Board Chairman of Medeama Sporting Club, Dr Tony Aubynn says he has managed to convince the owner of the club, Moses Armah against its sale.
The Medeama owner, it will be recalled in Monday's edition of the Graphic Sports announced his decision to sell the club to an investor because he is tired.
However, Dr Aubynn said although he shares in the frustration of Mr Armah who is yet to recoup from his massive financial investment in the club, selling the club will be tantamount to selling the soul of the people of Western Region.
The CEO of the Minerals Commission told the Graphic Sports in an interview on Monday that he has had a chat with the Medeama owner and suggested to him alternative ways of funding the club.
He said, "Medeama has been handled financially by one person, Mr Moses Armah through his Mospacka Company, of course we have also sought sponsorship for the team. Goldfields has been a key sponsor, Nsuta Manganese and a few other sponsors.
"Somehow, Moses felt that his pocket was draining especially because we went to Africa. You know, when you go to Africa and they say you are in the money zone, everybody thinks money is on your bed all the time so nobody even wants to come to you because you are getting money but that is even the most expensive part of the business.
"You take a team of 30 to Algeria and back then you are completely broke and you have to go back to your company. So, I think out of frustration he rightly was wondering whether he shouldn't put it up for sale.
"Yesterday I was with him in Tarkwa and we agreed that we are not going to sell the team, we agreed that we have to look for alternative ways of maintaining Medeama because It has become the soul and the body of the Western region when it comes to football.
He added that the Board of the club had already began strategising on ways to get the club back on its feet. "Its actually on its feet but this thinking that we want to sell, it was a personal statement from him which I don't think that he meant so much.
"Now in the Western region, that is the only surviving premier league team with the very unfortunate exit of Hasaacas. So Medema is not on sale, those who want to buy Medeama they should wait it is not on sale, that is the clarification that I want to give you."
