By Admin

 Bayelsa State government has threatened.to ban Bayelsa United if they go on relegation at the end of the season.

 The state government in order to put an end to the team's poor performance issued a two-match ultimatum to the coaching crew. 

 Commissioner for Sports Development, Daniel Igali made this known at a meeting with coaches and management of Bayelsa United in Yenagoa, the State capital. Igali noted that the ultimatum became necessary due to the team's continuous inability to win matches, saying that government cannot continue to fold it's hands and allow things to go from bad to worse despite huge financial support from the government.

According to him, the two games ultimatum would start this weekend in Port Harcourt against Rivers United and Katisina United and that failure to secure victories in both games would make the entire technical crew to lose their jobs, pointing out that any player who does not deserve to be in the team would be giving the marching order.

He explained that the Governor has made it clear that if they drop to the lower division the team would be disbanded, urging the team to start winning. "This team has only two games to get out of position we are now, and if we are not going to do this it will not only affect the technical adviser but entire team. And any player that doesn't deserve to be in the team will be shown the exit door," Igali stated.

The commissioner equally frowned at Ladan Bosso' statement during the post match interview against Enyimba on Sunday at the Samson Siasia stadium, Yenagoa.Dr. Igali stated that he finds the statement by Ladan Bosso as not only disheartening but disappointing against the government that foots the bills of Bayelsa United and Bayelsa Queens.

He directed the chairman of the club Dr. Tarilaye Nwankwe to punish Bosso or face sanction by the government, noting that it is not the duty of a coach to come to the press to ridicule the government describing it as unacceptable to the Prosperity administration.

The Prosperity Boys next three games are against Rivers United away, Katisina United home and Shooting Stars away.
