Ibadan, June 12, 2017 (NAN) The management of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) has issued an ultimatum to the team’s technical crew to find a way of saving it from relegation or be sacked.
Gbolagade Busari, the Executive Chairman of 3SC, gave the ultimatum at an emergency management meeting of the club in Ibadan on Monday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 3SC, known as the Oluyole Warriors, are presently battling against being relegated from the season 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
3SC, who were second to the last on the NPFL log, lost 0-1 to MFM Football Club of Lagos in their last away match in Lagos on Sunday.
Busari said it is the technical crew that should save the club from being relegated from the NPFL, or else its members should face the consequences.
He said the technical crew would henceforth be evaluated on a match-to-match basis, adding that the management would no longer hesitate to wield the big axe.
“The team has a crop of young and promising players who can excel in the league and it is the duty of the technical crew to mould them into a successful side,” the club chairman said.
He warned that the club management would not tolerate any excuse from the technical crew if it failed to put adequate measures in place to ensure that the team escaped relegation.
Similarly, Abayomi Oke, the State Commissioner for Youths and Sports, said government would intensify efforts in supporting the team in its bid to bring back the club’s lost glory.
Oke added that the team’s teeming supporters, who were not happy with the team, would soon have smiles on their faces.(NAN)
