2 clubs forced to resign from their league today, Whyteleafe FC @WhyteleafeFC and Abingdon Town FC @theabbotts_1870
Both had their ground bought by @iramasports and were unable to 'negotiate' a new lease.
Irama Sports proudly proclaim they are "powered by Ian Rush" @ianrush_9

Irama's website says that Rush should not "be held responsible for any of IRAMA'S acts" which is probably for the best considering how toxic the company looks today.
Over on their Twitter account, the company has told their 42 followers they are "shocked" to hear about Whyteleafe's resignation.
Abingdon hasn't been mentioned other than to stress that Ian Rush isn't involved.

Four months ago an Irama statement to The Athletic said: “We want all teams to continue playing at our grounds and welcome them to contact us directly if they wish to continue playing at our properties.”
"Our grounds"
"Our properties"
"Our properties"
Several minutes ago, Irama published the following statement which references exactly 50% of the clubs that were forced to resign from their league today.
"Our plans are to continually build the community feel at Church Road"
To me, this doesn't seem a great start.

But hey, if turfing local football clubs out of their ground isn't your thing, why not charter the @iramasports yacht?
