Re: Rivers United threaten to leave Nigeria league??

Rivers United cannot hold the organizers to ransom. The fact is that the congestion was induced by their demands to put off their games to enable them prepare for continental competition. Now they are attempting to bully the NFF to give them more concessions, is that the issue? If it is, then the N...

Re: Finidi not willing to work with Amokachi, Amuneke

The knives are out for Finidi. How does wanting to pick his own assistants become not willing to work with anyone? Because the NFF wanted him to choose one of them and he said No. WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE They said George was picked because the NFF wanted someone they could control....

SOME HERE MAY BE ABLE TO QUICKLY ANSWER THIS


How often has the Federation fired a foreign coach (I can remember only Bonfrere). How often has it extended a Nigerian coach? The answer could be telling.

Re: Rivers United threaten to leave Nigeria league??

DEFECT A REFORMED LEAGUE WOULD CURE This cannot happen in any of the major leagues in any sport anywhere in the world. The reason it's happening here is because the clubs are treated as personal possessions. The business/legal reform needed is that clubs become franchises owned by the league, not b...

Re: “There is still bad blood” – Amunike makes first comments since losing Super Eagles job to Finidi

The best Nigerian coaches are exactly people like Amuneke - aka "someone they cannot control" to do stupid stuff. If this is true, I think Amuneke may have been the better person for the job. Someone that can push back on NFF's excesses like Oliseh and Keshi. I do not see how someone an i...

Re: “There is still bad blood” – Amunike makes first comments since losing Super Eagles job to Finidi

INTRIGUES ARE NOT LIMITED TO NIGERIA OR THE NFF It's in everything worldwide, not just sports. We don't know if there's any in this case and if there is, it's not necessarily ill-motivated - there may be legitimate reasons to pick one person over another, especially if only one can be picked.

Re: Finidi's job as SE coach seems temporary.

I feel for Finidi. The general response to his appointment has been lukewarm with many Nigerians questioning his choice by the NFF. He has his work cut out and there are many waiting to sabotage him. Even among the 94 set, he was not their choice as they lined up behind Amunike. I just hope he does...

I DON'T THINK COACHES SHOULD BE IMPOSED Give the coach a free hand - he knows best who he can work with and the kind of assistance he needs. If necessary, let the NFF have a right to veto his choice. One thing I know for sure is that the imposed assistants would not be said to "understudy"...
