"I am now in a dilemma as to the next course of action. I will however, meet the players, team management and fan club members to discuss the situation.
"But the final decision will only be decided at the KAFA council meeting on Wednesday," Annuar Musa told reporters when met at the KLFA Stadium in Cheras last night.
He was earlier reported as saying that KAFA may have no choice but to withdraw from the Super League due to financial reasons because Kelantan incurs up to RM30,000 loses for every match played at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil (Kelantan's current home ground).
The FAM banned Kelantan from playing their home matches in Kota Baharu since April 9, following a riot after an FA Cup match on April 7, when fans damaged 10 vehicles,
including that of Annuar Musa, while a police car was set on fire.In the incident, a student also lost his right eye, after allegedly being hit by an unidentified object when police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
"Due to the ban, we have to travel a long distance which is certainly tiring and most of the time trainings are disrupted. We also have to fork out money for food and lodging even when it is our home match," he said.
Asked of his opinion on suggestions that he should appeal directly to FAM presiden
t Sultan Ahmad Shah, Annuar said that is not the right procedure to follow every time a problem arises."What I know is that there is a procedure and system. So if there was a punishment the affected party is allowed to appeal," he said.
He added that his team's fifth consecutive loss (lost to KL Plus 0-2 last night), was expected but believes Kelantan can rise from the slump if matches were played at home.
Kelantan's recent slump started after losing to Selangor in the FA Cup final, losing 0-2 to Negeri Sembilan, 1-2 to Johor FC, 0-2 to Perlis and 0-2 to KL Plus.
