Some said the Sports Commissioner, some said the board members, others said the supporters club while some even nailed the Oyo FA and Ibadan Elders. Now, without wasting much of your time, I think I can say much about 3SC as one of die-hard fan for over 20 years. We all new what happened with the sack of Festus Allen-may be you dont remember again, his poor performance led to his sack. Do we remember that Ziko and Busari with the players put smiles on our faces last season. Kudos to those that contributed to the performance last season. After this feat, the Coaches dropped 6 players, Alausa, Orelope and others which means continuity in the system. After about 20 pre-season games, no one condemned or had the thought to bring new coaches. After first away point at Sharks and the loss at home in Ibadan against Heartland, personal interest, Ibadan politics came to play. Even those who pretend to be 3SC lovers started showing interest that wont help the club. I wish to keep quiet but its better to open up so that we (genuine fans) can profer solutions for the 3SC Even before we were confirmed for relegation, fans, elders, even 3SC coaches and officials had admitted that we are gone, the next thing is how to bring in their people and how much we can make. What a shame! Who to blame??? 1) Fans and supporters are stakeholders in football, (BUT) 3SC fans and supporters failed to realize that unruly behaviour might put the club in danger, which did happen against Kwara utd and aftermath were the 3-match played behind closed doors. Then the problem started increasing!!! 2) The technical crew: Busari led technical crew had accepted fate with the sack but has disappointed us for bringing 3SC down. He was unable to control the affairs of the team. Many technical faults, team rotational policy and many more. 3) Board Members: After the chairman resigned, I keep wondering why other members failed to prove doubters wrong on their capability to handle the team. These are set of people that I see as bricklayers working with vulganizer tools. In fact, its like a radio repairer being appointed as Super eagles Coach. Most of them were politicians, even a sports editor among them had finally brought his CV down with 3SC appointment. Though, he had cases following his sack at Tribune but its of no use here. The board members believed the standard and certificates they had would be used in football. Never, it cant work. Football is a different ball game entirely, a game that need fast learner, leave the ego, leave the grammar but concentrate on the politics, tactical, team spirit and dirty jobs both on and off the pitch. These people had failed us. 4) On Ibadan Elders, they never believed their times are over in the system, even when they were not informed, they wanted to be carried along, pretending as real lovers but money is all they want to survive. Even, when they collect monies, they still went behind to condemned the fingers that feed them. The fear of God is he beginning of wisdom. 5) Oyo FA: I wont say anything on Bar, Leye Adepoju and his members. Nemesis is what we ask for Olord. 6) Kabiru Abubakar Zamora: I knew this young man 15years ago, He gets what he wanted not minding hazards on the road. He condemned Coaches, board members and other people that failed or rejected his players. I heard he brought Bakayoko during the mid season after he failed on Coach Henry Abiodun last season. These, and others may be the reasons behind his comments on facebook and noise at Liberty stadium that they should sack the coaches. Kabiru and co are part of the problem 3SC is facing. I heard he begged Alhaji Olootu few months ago. May be we should ask God to reward him accordingly. If truly Zamora loves the club, he dont need to imposed players on 3SC, not even aged players. We have 19clubs in the league, why not try other clubs for Bakayoko? Why always 3SC?. God will judge us. 7) Raheem Olatunji socrates: This man claimed the club owed him #16million. He said the club used his guest house as players camp for a season. A primary school holder knows that it is illegal to use owned property for government that pays you. It s totally wrong. Socrates has been writing on the facebook on Dapo Lam etc. If truly the love of the club comes first, why would someone use a guest house for players camp. A guest house where short-time takes place, how would the players concentrate? No wonder! Fatai Amoo had problems. If the present administration is unable to pay the debt, do we have to call someone names? The present club camp for 3SC players cost #1.2Million at onireke with facilities intact. Socrates and his board members never taught of doing this during there time, still they claimed to love the club. May you dont know, late Jossy Lad, Felix owolabi and two other people had percentage to share on the #16Million but socrates had been used to perfect the deal. Love of Money-the Holy Quran says! I wont say much. God is watching us! 8) Sesan odukoya: I remembered the problem started with Mutiu Adepoju on kits deals. May be Mutiu must have done the deal privately, may be he should have made written contract with Sesan! May be Sesan should have done the deal! God knows. It truly Sesan is a true lover of 3SC. He should have shown more respect on his personality. He talks too much, very lousy, lacks manner. Apology please. 9) Players: where is Asuquo, Gata, late Ogaga, Amanyi and others? These players let us down. They disappointed themselves after theyve enjoyed good welfare package from the state government in recent years. Flirt of cars etc at the camp, yet they failed us. God will judge us according to our contributions. 10) Dapo Lam Adesina: what a pity, 3SC poor performance had made some section a public figure. He never knew about Sports but I think he learn faster. Other efforts he made on other sports were there to see. Its a pity that 3SC relegated. Now that he is no more the commissioner, I think we should leave the boy to rest after 2years in office. He did his best, he cant satisfy us, we are human. Finally, these are my views, findings and opinion on 3SC. Still have many to say at time goes on. However, we need to put all logistics in place to bring back the club now. Lets leave who kill 3SC or who do these or that? I hope Gov Ajimobi is watching. 3SC must not die. Thanks. Up shooting, up stars. By sanni Mohammed Emmanuel(Agali)
