Re: Qatar impress three years out from hosting 2022 World Cu

My worry is that very soon young promising Nigerian players will start playing for Qatar as well. Shebi the likes of Uzoho and Onyekwuru used to train at Aspire? Its only a matter of time. Pray tell why are you worried that Qatar will give Nigerian youths an opportunity that have been denied to the...

Re: Qatar impress three years out from hosting 2022 World Cu

You don't know anything about my political views. Rather than jumping to conclusion how about we focus on the merits of each side's arguments? OK lets focus on the merits.

Re: The Get-Rich-Quick Scheme That Almost Killed a German So

I think trading options should be illegal. No one should be able to profit from a stock going down in value. Trading Options leave too much room for manipulation of securities

Re: Fire Rohr and use the money to develop our local league

Money is not the issue for the league, it s one of the richest league in Africa, ask what they did with 1.9 billion glo spent on them, not a player was transferred just through academies. So if you think the solution is to throw more money at it, I laugh...... http://www.gloworld.com/ng/latest-news...

Re: Fire Rohr and use the money to develop our local league

The problem is if we fire him. We will still owe him his waged unless there is an out clause or settlement. But in any good contract there has to be performance goals attached. How does the NFF sign a contract with a coach and no performance clause attached. The minimum expected of any coach at WC ...

Fire Rohr and use the money to develop our local league

Rohr is getting paid too much money for us to accept the result of this tournament. Rohr needs to be fired and the money used to develop our league so we have quality players. The quality of our players was simply not good enough. Our attack was anemic. Ihenacio and Igahlo did not do anything signif...

Re: Spanish league, dominant league in Europe

On question of the Best league there is no doubt it is the EPL because there are 20 teams that will fight tooth and nail to earn points each week. La Liga has 3 excellent teams and the other 17 are just fodder for these teams. Each week before kick-off one can predict with 100% certainty that Real, ...

He punched a journalist bros.. They wanted him gone long before that, it was a convenient excuse.
