Historic club OFI Crete announced Saturday that they are withdrawing immediately from the Greek Super League criticising the top-flight circuit for "unfair and uneven decisions" against the club.

"We have decided to leave the rottenness that exists in football and to be able once again to become the team that we all want and not to be treated like something I wouldn't want to mention," former OFI and Greece international Nikos Machlas, who acts as chairman of the steering committee of the team, told a press conference.

OFI, founded in 1925, becomes the second team to leave the Super League after Olympiakos Volos departed earlier in the season because of financial difficulties leaving the circuit with 16 clubs.

"We see laws observed in some cases and not in others. We see decisions with other weights and measures. The club's administration put a huge effort into finishing the season with dignity but we saw decisions which massacred the team. It is a share for all and a shame for football," Machlas said.

He said that OFI was one of the few teams in the league that paid all its debts.

"Then they show us a paper that we owe money to FIFA. Other teams owe a lot more. If we want to save football, we must create football characterized by fairness. We have offered a lot to be treated this way. Even with these conditions, the team was fourth in ticket sales in the league," Machlas said.

He said club officials will decide soon about the future of the club, whether the team will play in the second division Football League or drop to the amateur third division Football League 2.
