The scandal around Gagić doesn’t want to calm down. The basketball team had a bitter press release that includes even personalities. The person in question still didn’t talk to the press. Rumours speak about Gagić setting up a claim against the team to get his salary the team still couldn’t pay for him. Other than these, everyone is just guessing.

Dear Basketball Team,
I love you a lot. You gave me countless wonderful, fantastic moments. Not only to me. With and without Gagić. I very kindly ask you never ever to make such a press release. It does not matter what was the reason behind, that made Gagić decide to take these steps. It does not matter what he said and what he is about to do. You must know, because you’re not blind, hell broke loose among fans. Your job would be now to calm the heated atmosphere down, not pouring oil to the fire. There are things that are not for the public. Getting personal in private is fine, but is strictly forbidden in a press release. Let us respect each other enough not to generate media war from the by default nasty incident. We must avoid to give reason for the numerous enemies of the club to further intrigues. No matter how painful or upsetting you see all these that happened, you must never forget your own responsibility for your fans.

Yours faithfully,
a very bitter and disappointed fan

Scandal has been swirling around Pantić, too. The latest news were about Chelsea buying him. Not much later Partizan offered him a stupendous contract, which the midfielder refused to sign. Right now all that we know is that Pantić will not travel back to Belgrade with the team from the Turkey training camp.
Marko Nikolić told hotsport.rs he is sorry things got this turn with Pantić. As he said, the midfielder was dropped out of the team even before Nikolić arrived, having a six-month-long suspension. Nikolić said, for Pantić it would be the best to stay for at least two more seasons at Partizan instead of hanging on loans by big teams. He added, this decision was made by Pantić’s parents and manager, making it clear the player himself didn’t have much say in it all, if any.
