15 Aug 2020 01:19PMSYDNEY: Former England and Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler claimed on Saturday he was wrongfully dismissed by Brisbane Roar, saying the Australian club"turned gangster" on him and assistant Tony Grant.
Fowler was appointed coach last year and overhauled the squad, lifting them to fourth in the A-League before the season was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.He and ex-Everton midfielder Grant returned to England and the club announced in late June they had parted ways, citing"the current and ongoing coronavirus situation", while noting that"family comes first".
"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." Fowler, who was in his first full-time coaching job, said he had lodged papers with world governing body FIFA's dispute resolution tribunal, seeking damages.Fowler, capped 26 times by England, played 369 matches for Liverpool, scoring 183 goals in two stints between 1993 and 2007. He also played for Leeds United, Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.
