NPFL UPDATE: Amoo Claims 3SC Can’t Win Premier League
Shooting Stars coach Fatai Amoo has ruled the Ibadan side out of the Premier League title this season.
The Oluyole Warriors, who barely escaped relegation last season, have been struggling since the league began.
Amoo says it’s impossible to expect the team to win the title and believes fans should be pleased if they escape relegation this term.
“I am a realist and I don’t need to deceive anybody,” supersport.com quoted the former First Bank midfielder as saying on Thursday.
“If the management want to sack me for saying the truth, I will prefer that (to lying).
“For now, we can’t say we want to win the league but we want to do well.
“And doing well means we don’t want to be relegated.
“Whatever comes (if we don’t get relegated will be seen as a bonus) and we will take it.”
The former international, who leads his team against Rivers United on Sunday in Ibadan, said they were not afraid of the Port Harcourt outfit.
He said, “They are a top side; a very strong side and we respect them. They have not lost a single game in the league this season, enjoy a huge financing backing and will represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League.
“But on Sunday it will be 11 men coming up against 11 men and I am confident we can hold our own against them.”
3SC are currently one place from bottom in the 20-team league with four points from their first five matches.
