CAIRO: Ismaili chairman Nasr Aboul-Hassan stated that his side could offload several players this summer if the club wasn’t given financial support immediately.
Aboul-Hassan claims that several businessmen pledged to donate amounts of money to the Dervishes at the end of last season, but they didn t live up to their promises .
When Ismaili was in contention for the (Egyptian Premier) League title, a multitude of businessmen vowed to grant our players some bonuses at the season s end, he told FilGoal.com.
I don t know why they didn t live up to their promises, whereas we are in dire need of this kind of support.
Now would be the perfect time for them to fulfill their promises, because we need to bolster the squad and pay our players wages.
If they didn t, we would have to sell some players.
Ismaili remained joint leaders with Ahly till the end of last season, and the latter snatched the title after defeating the coastal club 1-0 in a decisive play-off.
