One of the benefits of fan ownership should be that we'd never make signings like this. Heads would have rolled. The manner in which he was snuck in at Bohs was so dodgy.

But we are fan owned. Have been since 1890.
However that signing divided our fan base and yes he was dropped in quietly,to the dismay of many, a lot of fans here are only back at games since he left but no denying a good number wanted him here including players and manager. My feelings were made known at the time but I didn’t stay away from games, right or wrong I still not sure. Glad he’s gone though.

i know the fan owned status at both Cawk and Bohs has been very successful but it's something I’d hate to see at Waterford. we simply don’t have the personnel if you were take the basis of the spoofers that we have involved in the Supporters Clubs etc.

I was quite worried when I first heard he was leaving Waterford. 

The abuse Johnny Ward is taking on social media over his article on this is ridiculous. Even Gemma O D getting in on it ffs

I know that's why I mentioned him being snuck in without announcement or anything. He was just in the squad one day. I'm surprised ye didn't lose more members to be honest.

Don’t think we lost anybody they just wouldn’t attend while he was here. Long had built up enough credit with the club and fans he was trusted by most I feel, there was also an explanation of sorts doing the rounds that satisfied some. As I say , I didn’t like it but took it at face value and trusted the club to do the right thing. For me anyway, a sorry misguided part of our recent history leaves a bad feeling. Don’t really know how the blues fans felt about it probably a mix of the same.

A League of Ireland soccer star convicted of a serious offence has left the country voluntarily after he failed to stop his planned deportation back to Nigeria.

Ismahil "Izzy" Akinade was a key striker for Waterford FC and the club said he had departed by mutual agreement.

Akinade had joined the club ahead of the 2018 Airtricity League season.

He scored eight goals for Waterford, helping them to finish in fourth place.

He had signed a contract last June to remain with the club until the end of this season.

Akinade was born in Nigeria in 1994 and arrived here as a seven year old in 2001. Akinade's mother and siblings are Irish citizens by naturalisation.

He was the subject of a deportation order signed by Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan and his lawyers fought it through the courts.

Rejected

Last month the High Court rejected his application for a judicial review of the deportation order.

Akinade was due to present himself at the Garda national immigration bureau on June 13 but failed to attend.

Lawyers for the State are currently trying to establish officially that he has returned to Nigeria.

The High Court was told Akinade had leave to remain in the State as a dependant of his mother until he reached 16 years in 2010.

After that, he received permission in his own right for successive periods until mid-2014. That year he was convicted of a serious criminal offence and was informed in 2015 of the minister's proposal to make a deportation order against him.

His solicitors made representations against the order, but the deportation order was made in March 2016.

The order was challenged in judicial review proceedings.

Those proceedings concluded last month when the court refused the application for review.

After Akinade did not turn up at the planned meeting with gardaí, the immigration authorities heard nothing until Waterford FC issued a statement on its website earlier this week, confirming that he had left the club "by mutual agreement".

Manager Alan Reynolds said: "We signed him after gaining promotion two seasons ago and he scored some important goals for the club.

"We thank him for the hard work and efforts over the past 18 months.

"He'll be missed on and off the pitch and was a really popular member of the squad," Mr Reynolds added.

How come he isn’t an Irish citizen or treated as such?
