Balogun said he couldn't wait for the 2019 NNL season to kick off as they are battle ready to fight and pick one of the tickets available for promotion to NPFL.
In his words: "We have been adjudicating for the league to kick off and I believe with that if we can repeat or better our performances from the friendly matches we have played, nothing will stop 3sc from promoting to the NPFL at the end of this season.
Though, he praises the outgoing Oyo state governor, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, he however, hopeful of better seasons under the state governor-elect, Makinde
"As far as we concerned, we have heard from several nook and crannies in Oyo State that in coming governor is this or that but surprisingly during the campaign he put on 3SC Jersey all over the places and that baffled me and those that are closer to him said he doesn't support foreign clubs. The outgoing governor, Gov. Abiola Ajimobi during his 8 years in office made sure that 3SC did not lack anything."
"By the grace of God is not going be the same story, what they call manager is when you are able to manage when there is money and when there is no money.
"I have work with several clubs and by the grace God you are going to see new brand of Shooting Stars.
He noted that the only avenue for 3SC to represent Nigeria in the continent is to win the Aiteo Cup.
