The management of the Nigeria Professional Football League side, Plateau United Football Club of Jos, has given a marching order to technical crew to win its next home match against Akwa United of Uyo or face severe sanction.
General Manager of the Club, Pius Henwan who handed down the marching order, said it became necessary in order to save the team from relegation.
He explained that the tenth position presently occupied by the club in the group B league table of the NPFL is not acceptable to the management and the government of Plateau State who are the sole financiers of the team.
The General Manager regretted that despite government unalloyed support to the team by the prompt payment of their salaries, match bonus and other allowances, the team has failed to reciprocate that gesture by posting good results this season.
Henwan, warned that failure to win the match against the promise keepers, the Team Manager, Abel Iliya and the Chief Coach, Audu Isa Pele as well as other assistant coaches will lose their jobs.
Similarly, four players have been placed on the transfer market due to poor performance while warning letters have been issued to others to sit up or face the exit door.
According to the General Manager, the technical adviser of the team, Abdu Maikaba is not affected by the ultimatum.
It would be recalled that Plateau United lost her week 15 fixtures one-nil to Elkanemi Warriors in Maiduguri, a result that has further dropped the team deep into relegation waters.
