NPFL: Buter ordered to butter league body’s account in seven days over unsubstantiated comments or face more sanctions

 Sporting Lagos Coach, Jeffery Buter has been fined N500,000 and cautioned by the EuroMatchNPFL to refrain from unsubstantiated public statements on the league and referees.

This was the outcome of an inquest held on Wednesday during which the coach admitted that he was in error in his press Interview after the Lagos Derby with Ikorodu City on Wednesday, September 30.

The panel said the lenient sanction imposed on the coach was based largely on his admission of error and his relatively young experience as a coach in the NPFL.

The league used the opportunity to urge other coaches and clubs officers to refrain from reckless statements that tend to undermine the perception of the EuroMatchNPFL in the minds of the public.

Coaches and clubs officers have been further advised to take advantage of official dispute resolution mechanisms to seek redress and lodge complaints.

Buter has been given seven working days to pay the fine or risk more stringent sanctions.
