NPA wields the hammer! Sacks 16 players Team manager, Mike Idoko who let the Cat out of the bag, disclosed to .nigeriasports.com that six quality players are to be recruited to recharge the team full for the second half of the season.He gave reasons for the decision. “Management felt we were not getting commensurate results with the input from some of the players after paying, especially after paying 60 % of their sign on fees and salaries up to date. The team had to be down- sized to a manageable size for greater productivity.” “Secondly, after reviewing our performance for the first half of the season, it was decided by management that time was short to name a replacement for Maurice Cooreman, the technical adviser who quit. So, Coach Tetteh, who was in-charge for two seasons until this season, is to assume full control. We want better out put by NPA for the rest of the season. I can assure you that with plans we have, NPA Seasiders will come off better in the second half of the league,” Idoko stated. Although hew maintained management was not happy with the output of the 16 players to be laid off, he however refused to give names saying it had to be played down until all obligations to them are settled and because also it is a matter of policy. ”We intend to recruit six new players to re-enforce the team. We believe coach Tetteh has what it takes to give NPA the lift we need. And we are sure that changes we made would carry us through to remain in the Premier League,” Idoko said.
