A financial crisis in Zamalek

The president of Zamalek said: “I call on the Minister of Sports to intervene in the crisis of seizure of the club’s bank balances. We are in a calamity. A disaster will happen on September 30.”
He added, “I appeal to the Minister of Sports Ashraf Sobhi and the Minister of Justice in order to save Zamalek, from Mamdouh Abbas and Mahmoud Al-Khatib.”
He asked: “I do not know who is behind Mamdouh Abbas in Egypt. Zamalek has employees and workers, numbering up to 4,000 workers. How will they get arrested?! As well as coaches, technical devices and players.”
Until tomorrow
Mortada Mansour continued: “I will give everyone a deadline until tomorrow, and then I will announce with documents all the information that Mamdouh Abbas obtained his money from Zamalek.”
He continued, “I will go to the President of the Republic and the entire government next time in order to save the club from Mamdouh Abbas and Mahmoud Al-Khatib’s committees.”
Where do I spend the salary of 4 thousand workers in the club?
Mortada Mansour asked: “Where do I spend the salary of coach Gusvaldo Ferreira at the end of the month? Will he stay or will he leave if he does not get his salary?”
He said, “Where do I spend the salary of 4,000 workers in the club? How do I pay the salaries of foreign players and coaches for the rest of the games in the club? And how do I manage the money required to travel to meet the Burundian champion in the African Champions League?”
The president of Zamalek explained: “I have completed the agreement with the 3 strongest deals that Ferrera requested, I have accomplished everything with the players and their clubs, but we are waiting for the money.”
Mortada Mansour noted that Zamalek also has late financial dues to the channel transmitting the Egyptian League, as well as the sponsoring company, concluding his statements in this regard by saying: “I do not appear daily to entertain people, the sponsoring company did not pay us 21 million pounds as a reward for winning the league and the cup, and we are patient because it is a national company.” “.
