Brisbane Roar relieved Robbie Fowler from his duties and the Liverpool legend has decided to go to FIFA about his treatment.
Liverpool fans will always sing praises of Robbie Fowler. His prolific time at Anfield merits that but the same cannot be said at Brisbane Roar.
Fowler was unceremoniously sacked from his managerial role and it has not sat well with him. He has launched a petition with FIFA’s dispute resolution tribunal.
The Liverpool native questioned the reasons for his sacking and believes he has been unjustly treated by the club.
“They just suddenly turned gangster on us,” Fowler told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“Lots of people have opinions about me but one thing I’m not is selfish. I had a job to do and I wanted to finish that job. I wasn’t given the chance to go back and show people what we potentially could have done.”
“I gave everything for the year for Brisbane Roar. My family were back and forth. I was over there on my own with just my No.2 and we gave everything that we had to help the club, to get them to where they are. Getting labelled selfish and a quitter and other things, it’s very poor play. I’m certainly not selfish and I’m not a quitter.”
Following the coronavirus pandemic, Fowler had refused to return to Australia to complete the season. In addition, Roar have also alleged that the 45-year-old also made comments on television that damaged the club’s reputation.
