Emmanuel Adebayor has threatened to quit playing for Togo if the country's football federation refuses to pay the players the money it owes them.

The 28-year-old striker has revealed that he and his team-mates have not been paid the money for playing against Morocco in a friendly international in Casablanca earlier this month.

Adebayor says that, if the current situation does not improve, then players will not play for Togo anymore.

"If this does not change, then I will retire from international football and many will stop playing for our country," he said.

"In our FA everyone thinks about their own pockets," Adebayor told Togo's Radio Frequence1. "Some players have not received their money, some have received half of it.

"Players come to me to ask about their money. It is a shame. I asked the Moroccan Federation how much they paid our Togolese FA. They told me that they paid €35,000 to President Ameyi.

"The president has the money because the Moroccan FA will not lie to me. If this continues, then no one will play for others to fill their pockets."
 
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor.. Money money money

Well I don’t agree, why quit because they owe other people money?? Ade looking out for people now that is funny.. what happened to the game, it used to be an honour to represent your team
 
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor.. Money money money

Doesn't sound like he's bitching unnecessarily to be honest.. Why shouldn't he and his team mates receive the money they're owed?

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor.. Money money money

Now I don't like Adebayor, at all. However, I see nothing wrong in this at all. In fact, fair play to him. He is the most well known and prominent person in that country, let alone their football. The other players are largely unknowns and if the country isn't paying them then they will have no chance of getting what they are owed without some help from someone with some clout. African govts are incredibly corrupt, run by people who are in effect dictators. You can bet Adebayor playing for that country is important for that govt in terms of publicity, credibility, you name it. If threatening to quit helps the other players get what they are owed then more power to his elbow.

shed your persecution complex.

You wouldn't do your job for free and would probably take action if people owed you money so why should Ade and his much poorer teammates be any different?

Spurs pay his wages.. all i was getting at is you should be happy to play for your country not say you’re going to quit because some of your poorer team mates haven’t been paid… Yet he sits on 115k a week.. No your right I wouldn’t work for free and they shouldn’t, I was getting at it should be an honour to represent your country, didn’t know I was going to get jumped on for it

if someone owes you money they should pay up and if they don't you should have the right to take action, simple as that, whatever the organisation.
