Re: Pay as you go for assistant coaches

The problem with that is you may struggle to keep the assistants for a reasonable amount of time if they are not properly compensated Not really. For two reasons: 1. These assistants are not "appointed" by the NFF. They are guys who Finidi hand-picked. So clearly, these are his friends wh...

Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.

Finidi clearly knows that he is grossly underpaid! Hope those on CE know this....Finidi claims in an answer toi a journalist's question today that he realizes this but hopes to do well and then be offered more. This is from one of the mosdt credible sources on Nigerian football. EXCLUSIVE: Contract ...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

I believe that Finidi George has a clear idea on how Nigeria’s team should be structured going forward. He showed a glimpse of it in the two international friendlies under his charge. Although he was short of pertinent personnel for those two games, but his ideas are clear. In summary, as he has no...

Re: Pay as you go for assistant coaches

Could there be a potential conflict of interest in the future if the coaches do not have a contract? I don’t like this at all. Is this how other countries pay their assistant coaches? I know it’s just football but game plans, strategies and implementation are a form of intellectual property, are th...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

We won't see our best team. Finidi would have made some promises to a few of his Eyimba players that he will help them. I expect to see a few surprise names in the squad under the guise of "giving home based players a chance" or "saving money on plane tickets" I am not sure it w...

Re: Boniface, Tella (Bayer) Have Achieved The Longest Unbeaten Record in European Football

Why are Boniface and Tella not called up regularly in the national Team? Especially Tella! He has only 1 cap so far! This is not accurate, tbh. It only appears so because both were not at AFCON. Boniface would definitely have been at AFCON but was injured just before. As for Tella he a as called up...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

Even NIgeria used Ideye Brown and Emenike in 2013 successfully. It can work. You need mobile strikers that like to run and like to create chances. Both Osimhen and Boniface are good at that. Boniface is not a high work rate striker, he’s no Ideye Brown, not even close. Amokachi and Ideye could play...

Re: EPL Championship Playoffs: Ajayi and Aribo

International football is very different from club football. There are several guys who are stars at the club level and duds at international level and vice versa.
