POOR ORGANISATION & WHAT D PLAYERS SAID @ CAMP

[Baggy]

Last Saturday I was at the SE hotel and met most of the guys at camp.

I am not going to name names but this are what I gathered from speaking to at least 10 players.

- Lack of organisation
- No good food
- Unity among players - not great
- Hotel - not great (facilities)

Organisation - the players complained that they nearly missed their flight to Austria as they missed check in time
they only made the flight cos Easy Jet had a 45min delay
were only able to fly after much pleading
their final journey to where they played was by road on a bus without air con with sealed windows
players had to take their top off to fan themselves

this has again been proved by booking with some yeye chartered flight - which has defect engine

Food - they all complained about the food which had no taste
they said the two days spent in Austria was better than the gulf hotel in colchester - more expensive
some of them were sick for days - only got better on Saturday - one of them played in the Colombia match
players said they complained about the food and nothing was done

Unity - players are still in groups
unity slightly better (i think tribal is playing a part from what i saw at the lounge)

Hotel - is good looking and expensive
however, facilities like internet connection not working
phone reception within the hotel - poor (i experienced this also)

Retirement - Because of all this a player I love and feel should still b in the squad is comtemplating quitting the national
team after the WC (this is a player who has done very well for his club this season - was outstanding)

Other information picked up will be added with pictures at later date.

I have heard a lot of what you have written and I know it is true. You have to blame the NFF officials who are looking to cash in for the shoddy arrangement.

Your bit about unity is your imagination and primodial. Players in all squads have their cliques and it has nothing to do with tribe.

In other words, nothing new to report but the same old Naija Jaga Jaga... mschewwwwww

So they were flying EasyJet? Looks like we're doing everything on the cheap.

That is bad enough but there are worse things happening. Things have now got to the stage of complete insurbodination from certain players who are now calling NFF official names to their faces.

At a certain stage they need to ignore NFF and just play.....We all know they are idiots but they shouldnt let the idiots ruin their destiny........
A good WC campaign will do great for thier career

If true, that's very bad....NFF is the biggest problem facing development of football in Nigeria and nobody seems to have any answers to fixing this problem. Really disappointing.

What i don't understand is why hasn't any players exposed these thieves this has been going on for the past 35+ years.....enough is enough.

Why can't the players use their mobile phones and record all what the Nff are doing?

Exactly. Until we can do something about organization, it would be the same story over and over.

Dude....that has been done..... remember 1994 and 1998?

Just Imagine if we had a transparent NFF and the players were pampered half as much as the English......

My bro, you for see the hotel wey dem end up after game for Milton Keynes. Dem reach the place for 1 am for morning and Naija gateman with Obasi shirt on nor gree make dem enter hotel.

Dem say Lagerback has spent more time settling player and NFF dispute than coaching.

Well the players got better clubs than those that confronted them in 2002.....They are idiots but the team and the tournament is more important at a certain stage.

Can you really blame them considering the poor preparation and incompetence of the NFF officials, that have failed to improve after 12 years on the jobs.

[ohenhen1]

Time to start a new. The NFF officials the players need to go.

That Naija gateman should be running the NFF

[PapaK]

there's nothing in this report that I believe should be beyond the abilities of a competent coach to resolve. Especially if it is one that we are paying $300k/month.

It's not about the personnel as such, but our mentality, our organisation and our zest for the greater good of the nation above individual greed.

Suprise u #$%$ faces aint blaming ahmodu

$1M/mnt will not solve these issues. There is a reason every country has an FA.

True!

WE have being saying that for years now. We do have a problem with personeall, time to clean house starting from the top(NFF) down to the players.

[green4life]

Abeg is this supposed to be news? The last time players rebeled and complained they were called tired legs and kicked off the team and a fresh team was taken to the WC (heeding to Ohenhen's advice). That really worked out perfectly for us and completely erradicated the problem. Ohen x2, no be so?

The question is where is the Nigerian media? Where is our world class coach? Imagine Jose Mourinho keeping his mouth shut while rubbish administration/ preparations threaten to derail his work. I mean what are we getting for our 1.5 milla?
