Journalist and NET TV’s ‘Replay’ host Christian Micallef has urged former Prime Minister and current Premier League Chairman Joseph Muscat to resign from the latter position.

In a social media statement, Micallef wrote how he showed respect to the person and the Premier League teams when they chose Joseph Muscat to take the position.

Saying that despite being able to make a distinction between politics and football and despite disagreeing with Muscat politically, he did not include politics into the game of football.

‘However, at this moment, as a person who lives Maltese football everyday, I cannot not speak out for the good of the game.’

‘It could have been anyone else and not Joseph Muscat, but I would have said the same: considering all that is going on, Muscat has to have the decency to resign from the chairman position until he clears his name.’

‘If not, the clubs need to put forth a vote of confidence or no confidence in regards to him’.

‘If we want football to be clean of politics, this is the only road Muscat should take at this moment. He should only return when or/and if he is cleared of every confrontation against him.’

Reiterating the support he’s shown him despite his previous political leadership, he says that this moment requires such a move by Muscat so as not to taint the game of football.
