Rumor has it that Dynamos captain Emmanuel Jalai could be moving to Scotland FC in the coming season.
Scotland one of the richest clubs in the country is seeking to boost their squad ahead of the forthcoming champions league games.
Apparently, Jalai’s possible move have gotten team supporters talking. One fan penned the letter below:
To Our Captain, Emmanuel Jali,
We, the loyal and long suffering fans of Dynamos, write this with hearts full of gratitude and a painful, clear eyed understanding of reality. We have watched you bleed for the badge for six long years. You have been our warrior, our leader, and the one consistent spark in a team often shrouded in darkness.
That is why, when the news reached the terraces that Scotland has come calling, our message is simple and unanimous: You must go.
If they are offering you a salary of $8,000, with bonuses and cars, you must seize it without a single look back. Do not let loyalty chain you to a sinking ship. Do not let the weight of the armband drown your own potential.
We, the people who sing your name every weekend, will forgive you. In fact, there is nothing to forgive. You have given us everything. You have done more for this club than the current leadership has in a decade. To see you finally get the reward your talent and dedication deserve would be a victory for every one of us.
Yes we would love to see you going overseas but Scottland has got the money to take care of you.
This letter, however, is not just a blessing for your future. It is an indictment of the past and present failures of Dynamos FC.
How can a club call itself “giant” when it pays its captain, its leader, a paltry $1,000 a month? How can the management sleep at night, driving their own fancy cars, while the player who carries the team’s hopes on his shoulders struggles with the same burdens as the fans in the stands?
They have failed you, Emmanuel.
They have failed to prioritise player welfare, treating loyal servants like disposable assets. They have failed to build a competitive team around you, forcing you to carry the weight alone. They have failed to match your ambition with their own, content to collect gate takings while the soul of the club withers away. They talk of history and legacy, but a legacy built on exploitation is a legacy of shame.
Your potential move to Scotland is not a betrayal; it is the brightest mirror that could be held up to the boardroom. It shows their neglect in the starkest light. Your success will be a testament to the talent that this club claims to nurture but consistently fails to value.
So go, Captain. Go and earn what you are truly worth. Go and experience the respect you deserve. Go and secure your future, your family’s future, in a way this club never could and, it seems, never will.
We will cheer for you here, from afar. We will follow your goals and your triumphs in Scotland with more pride than we often feel watching our own team.
Thank you for the six years of blood, sweat, and tears. You owe Dynamos nothing. It is Dynamos that owes you a debt it can never repay.
If go, go with our love and our unwavering support.
Yours in Football,
Dottie
