Sacked 3SC head coach Franklin Howard has said the side’s management has been unfair to him.
The former First Bank gaffer was disengaged from his post at the Oluyole Warriors at the weekend due to poor performances in the 10-week old Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Howard, who is yet to come to term with the reality of his sack, said the management was a bit hasty in their decision to sever ties with him just after 10 weeks of top-flight football hostilities.
“They sent the sack letter to me yesterday (Monday), I received the letter but I’m yet to respond to it.
“However, I want to say I’m surprised at the reason and timing of the termination letter.
“They said their decision is based on poor performance of the side in the ongoing season.
“We have just witnessed 10 weeks of league actions with about 28 weeks left on the calendar to be played, so I’m taken aback how they summed their arithmetic.
“Nobody has given me any match ultimatum proceeding my termination.
“The first time the team went down on relegation I was the one that brought them back to the top flight.
“On their second stint at the lower division I was also the one that oversaw their comeback to the elite league.
“I just want to take my time to digest the content of the letter to help me come up with an informed response but I’m really surprised at their decision,” said Howard to supersport.com.
The Ibadan warlords are at the base of the 20-team elite league on eight points from a possible 30 after 10 weeks.
