Head coach of Heartland FC of Owerri, Fidelis Ilechukwu has said that league leaders plateau United deserve to be crowned NPFL champions.
Expressing his opinion in a chat with @9aijasports, the former MFM FC gaffer said if the league cannot continue, the Jos club has done enough.
‘to me if the league cannot continue because of this virus, plateau United have done so much, showing quality home and away’.
