Arising from a meeting which was chaired by the Managing Director, Davidson Owumi on Monday, Management also concluded that there would be no screening rather, the Club will upgrade two players from the feeder team who are adjudged to be good enough to play in the Premiership,  recruit three young  players from Delta State, and sign five players which have been invited and discussion almost concluded.

The Club also agreed not to release the names of those who have been asked to go and also those who are coming in until a later date but they should be informed that there services are no longer required.

" It was a crucial meeting where we took some drastic decisions. We are going to retain 23 players and their names have been sent to CAF for registration while we have asked 12 to look elsewhere to ply their trade.

"We also agreed that there would be no screening but we shall promote two players from the feeder team, look for three players around Delta State because the talents are there for us to harness. We have invited five players to beef up some areas and discussion is on with them at present.

"All the names of those who are going and those whom we are discussing with would be released at a later date but I can tell you that one is coming from Crown FC, One from FC Taraba, Two from Sunshine Stars and one from Akwa United".

Management also agreed to resume in early January and to move straight into a close camping.

"We took all these decisions in the best interest of the Club and in view of the task ahead as we want to avoid the mistakes of the past.

"The most important thing is that we have a team on ground to prosecute any of the assignments." Owumi disclosed.
