Ismailia governor Abdul-Gelil Al-Fakharani offered EGP 200 000 to Ismaili in order to pay the players salary and bonuses for the month of November. The board had a meeting with the governor to find a solution for the club's deep financial criss especially after Chairman Yehia Al-Koumi refused to deliver more cash. The Ismaili president announced that he paid EGP 13million and he can't keep on giving away his money. The club bosses decided also to call for help from Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif and President of the National Council for Sports Hassan Saqr to save the situation.
