Fan Ndubuoke, the General Manager of the club, disclosed this in an interview in Owerri.
Ndubuoke said the move was in compliance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) the club’s management reached with the Imo government.
``The MoU is for the club to generate 50 per cent of its financial resources.
``The state government has reached an agreement with the club’s management on the joint funding of the club’s financial obligations.
``As a result, the club can no longer maintain the payment of the salary of its 32 players,’’ Ndubuoke said.
He said the players to be disengaged were those found wanting in the areas of discipline and performance.
Ndubuoke added that the club would soon begin negotiation for a striker and two midfielders to fortify the club’s attacking force.
The manager admitted the poor performance of the club at the just concluded premier league, and said it was due to technical problems.
Heartland finished eighth on the table with 51 points.
