Patrick Partey puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

- The dugout Walid Fuseini has become a man the manager trusts
- The dugout Chisom Ngomere left out for tactical reasons at BA All Stars
