If you doubted the P68m deal, you were right

The sorry state of local football clubs, mostly who survive through the begging bowl, has opened them to abuse. All manner of deals are signed, with clubs hoping that they are finally on the track to Canaan.

But it usually ends in tears. One Oscar Kubara once offered P65 million to a league which then paid only P120,000 as prize money for the champions. Kubara was hailed as the Moses who had come to take local football out of Egypt to the Promised Land. But the Canaan moment never arrived until a much more pragmatic, lucrative offer arrived via the BeMOBILE brand.
