Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

LET'S NOT ABSOLVE THE NIGERIAN ASSISTANTS It is time they sacrificed and reject any offer by the NFF to act as assistants "to understudy" the foreign journeyman. This ruse has been going on for decades and the NFF has yet to find one good enough to finally and permanently replace the jour...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

He is a good option, because, he would not quit his job. He will manage SE, the same Randy manages the SF. So, it's win, win. How does that benefit the SE? It benefits the NFF more than.... He comes in just before SE matches and leaves for his club after the match. He is based in Europe, where all ...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

I’m all out for Finidi unless we come up with a performing and experienced foreign coach. Meanwhile I hate this ‘white’ coach narrative instead of ‘foreign’ coach It’s so patronizing and deliberately framed that way by our Nigerian Freedom Fighters keen on showing they are proud black people. :roll...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

Some of you guys don't mind sacrificing the careers of 27 + players and dreams of 250 million plus people to give one local unqualified coach a chance. Get over it already we saw a cameo of Finidi who couldnt even manage his players. Left people who should start on merit on the bench with no conver...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

A quick check at his coaching profile/tactics: •He favors 433 •He likes possession/attacking football so he must LOVE midfielders especially ball playing ones • His winning average with Fortuna Sittard was actually decent and he made them play some good football. • He's young, just 41? So he's defi...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

I’m all for hiring a foreign coach but this one makes no sense. I’m sorry but some people at the NFF must be getting a cut from hiring these journey man foreign coaches. Finidi did let us down big time but I’ll rather give him a few more chances than hiring this underachiever. Now our resident blac...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

As long as his teams play good, free-flowing attacking football, then I'm ok with it. He will have better players to work with in the SE than the Eredivisie. His philosophy is all I care about. After all, Alonso did nothing until he got a chance with good players at Leverkusen. SO YOU ALREADY LIKE ...

Re: Congratulations to the Falcons on the Olympic qualification

It has been a while since we have qualified for Olympic soccer, Male or Female. Well done to the girls and the Coaching crew. It is an unbelievably tough group.

In that case there's no advantage to the SE groupwise and it's a wash. Who knows, they might even develop local sympathizers.
