DYNAMOS gaffer, Lloyd 'Samaita' Mutasa, believes the 10-match ultimatum in which he is supposed to produce at least 23 points or face the chop  is a mere talk show that has no relevance to his contract with his employer.

Dynamos open their  2017 Castle Lager Premier League  with a tricky date against FC Platinum this at the National Sports Stadium this weekend and the executive expect Mutasa and his technical team to garner at least  23-points from the first 10 matches.

However, the soft spoken Mutasa, said he just heard of the ultimatum through the Press.
 
He said he had different targets for the team.

The former Tanganda midfielder said the ultimatum was not even part of his contact with his employer.  

“I think the guys in the administration know better. We  actually have long term targets other than the 10-match ultimatum that you are talking about. If that had been put in writing then it will  be a cause for concern for me, but as it stands it is a mere talk show.

“It is not part of my contract with Dynamos. I think I  will comment if  it was something that I had agreed with my employer. All I can say is that as Dynamos we want to remain in contention for the title. As

Dynamos, I think it is better for us to look at the bigger picture rather than focus on trivial issues such as the 10-match ultimatum,” he said.

Interestingly, the past six seasons show that Dynamos has never managed to garner 23 points from each of their first 10 matches.

Mutasa himself was in charge of team in 2011 and only managed 20 points from the first 10 matches.

Kallisto Pasuwa was in charge of the following set of four first 10-matches and managed 20 points in three seasons and 19  points in the other.

Expatriate, Paulo Jorge Silva took charge at the beginning of the 2016 season and did not last the 10 matches, with Mutasa taking up the rest and they only managed a paltry 14 points.

The Dynamos coach also defended the decision to have youngsters in his team ahead of some seasoned players that include Sydney Linyama and Steven  Alimenda who were recently offloaded.

“The idea to have youngsters in the team is meant to change the way of doing things and instill discipline. It is working out well as we now have unity of purpose and a conducive working
 environment.

“I hope this will soon translate into positive results on the field of play when the season starts,” said Mutasa.

The former Whawha mentor urged Dynamos fans to have faith in the rebuilding exercise and support their team throughout the season.

“All I can say is that our fans should just believe in us. They should have confidence in us. This is the reason we brought in youngsters. We wanted to change the way of doing things and I am happy that it is
 showing positive results,” he said.
