By Ayo Ademokoya

As most team in the Nigerian professional league geared up their preparation towards the 2016/2017 leagues, it is a different folks for different strokes as Shooting stars Sports of Ibadan is engulf in yet another pre -season crises which may lead to poor performance and there eventual relegation back to the lower decision as we reliably gathered that the General Manager of the darling team of Ibadan, Rasheed Balogun has decided to call it quit with the Oluyole warriors for what it terms as government inadequate funding of the team.

Harohkah.bolgspot.com reliably gathered that the state government released the sum of 12 milion naira for the club instead of the monthly subvention of 20milion to pay salaries and various outstanding which is far below the expenses of the club.
About 11.5 million naira is said to cover salaries and wages of staffs and the team which would lead them with nothing to have adequate preparation for the 2016/2017 Nigerian Professional football league set to kick start in febraury,2016.


According to our source,”Kulekule” as the GM is popularly called, is about to call it quit with the club in a crucial meeting which he held with the on Tuesday the 12th of january which ended at about 7pm saying he may no longer cope with the way the club is been treated.
It is however not clear if the coach of the team, Gbenga Ogunbote would remain while players had been leaving enmasse looking  for greener pasture elsewhere as both players and  the technical crew are been owed backlog of salaries and allowance.

According to our source who said It seems as if the state would have to be looking for someone to manage the club as it seems the GM is walking away from the job because of inadequate funds.
All effort to speak with the GM proved abortive as he did not pick his call as at the time of publishing this story.
