Boss disappointed with Suffo and Cameroon (26.02.2002)
Patrick Suffo has not returned from international duty in time to be considered for Saturday`s trip to Grimsby Town and Neil Warnock is fuming.
The Blades boss has been without Suffo`s services for seven weeks as the striker has been with the Cameroon team that won the African Cup of Nations title in Mali.
Suffo scored one of the penalties in Cameroon`s final victory over Senegal but has not reported back to Bramall and Warnock is dismayed with the player and the Cameroon Football Association.
He blasts: "To
say I am extremely disappointed is an understatement. I think the Cameroons cannot keep getting away with what they are doing.
"I`ve had a fax on Friday morning saying the players have been withheld because their big chief wants to present them with the medals. The association is arrogant - they are not bothered about English clubs.
"Patrick has been gone nearly seven weeks and we are the ones paying his wages. The final was played last Sunday and Patrick has played about 30 minutes of football since leaving us in January."
