AMAJU PINNICK LIVE ON CHANNELS

[Ekorian]

I've only been able to watch part of the first video so far, but the guy is impressing me already.
I don't know whether some of you skipped that first video, but he is actually talking about restructuring the NFF, its politics and even the commercialisation of Nigerian football.
Seems some of una are only interested in the national team and the immediate issues around it, like 'Keshi' , team selection and 'German/Spanish models'.

Abi how do you explain that on page 2 of this thread, there are no comments on the guy's very cogent views on the NFF itself?
THAT is the koko of our problems!!
All this weytin-weytin about 'systems' and coaches and players is SECONDARY.

E be like say half of una dey wait with baited breath to hear when dem go sack Keshi so dat una go fit rejoice say Saviour don come.
The other half are waiting for him to give Keshi his endorsement, so they can poke fun at the Keshi haters.

Anyway thank God, it so far, so good.

what he's saying is tantamount to an election victory speech. When the budget is on the table and reality sets in, he'll eat his words. Promise is cheap....

I am sorry he is not saying much, he is talking about the areas he should leave to the technical department to sort out. Let him talk about how to make the NFF independent of the govt. Let him tell us what plans he has for a training institute , it is a disgrace that our national team does not have a camp to call their own. Let him talk about how to make the NFF more accountable, by this i don't mean what the Technical department is doing alone.

What does he mean or understand by copying the German style? We have won more U-17 cups than the Germans, so the problem is not that we are not developing players. The problem is what do we do with the players that are coming through without a viable league to nurture and keep them here.

I hate sound bytes that don't say much other than a din, sorry folks this sounds like one of those sound bytes. He has not said anything other than just dance around the session tossing stuff in the air.

Thank you Oloye. An NFF chairman is already positioning himself as a scout and a Technical adviser of the national team What if the chemistry of the so called player in China works better with the coaches philosophy? Anyway, It is quite easy to impress some Mugus with superficial verbosity....

I've been on CE over a dozen years and that's the dumbest pile of crap I've even read from anyone with an IQ between 10 and 40!(Ohenhen , SmartBro and BigPokey's are lower). You're going to play against a WORLD CLASS TEAM in the WORLD CUP and U think pesin wey dey tap for China will give ya team a better chance than pesin wey dey tap in a better league?dude...SLAP YASEF BEFORE I DO AM FOR YOU!

"We are going to create a technical study group that would build a data bank of Nigeria players playing abroad. And how they play regularly.

“We would have the A-league, B-league and C-league as the case may be. If for example you have someone playing in the A-league and scoring goals, you cannot bring someone from China to come and bench that person, we cannot allow that.

“We will give him a pool where he picks players from, that is what is done all over the world."

This is what some of us have been clamouring for all these days. Transparency and clear criteria for player selection.

Actually, I am more impressed with the organizational thinking that will bring about positive infrastructure and technical changes that can lead to transparency and better decision making.

I concur. He is displaying an awareness of issues and making suggestions on how to solve them. Some of these things have been touted on this Board for years now. Does he (Amaju) knows about this forum? Hmmm........

I see your point of view given the history of our NFF. You have every right to be cynical. However, I say we actually have someone talking to talk, he is saying things different from what we have heard from previous NFF Chairman. He has a vision and a plan, he is courageous enough make them public. It is a progressing and promising agenda, it is a start, I now hope he can deliver.

We all know it will be difficult, but he is young energetic and we hope his enthusiasm is strong enough in stamina to stay the course.

My bro, what he is promoting is actually the way the game is going. Football today is compartmentalised, sports science now runs the game, Coaches are employees who have to work with other departments, like the scouting team, the performance analysis team, the fitness team, the medical team, the player and youth development team, the finance team etc. etc. The days of one man being in charge of everything is long gone.

Many now copy the West Brom, Swansea and Southampton models. All successful NTs have similar models. Amaju has done his homework and he is trying to create a similar system that will work for Nigeria. The key is can he really do it and make it work in Nigeria, its all good having all these ideas but it is a start, let's give him a chance.

[iworo]

In the absence of experienced, seasoned leadership, he's a far sight better than his predecessors. Leadership success always starts with a vision.......

Simpleton, have you ask yourself why all your five EPL teams often buy players from the lower leagues? Not surprised that your wack music is a reflection of your thinking faculty

His heart might be in the right place but Just like Keshi, his success will greatly depend on the institution he's inheriting. Remember he has no control over the appropriation of funds to his commitee....The folks that will undermine him are already sharpening their knives....

The chemistry of the player in China works better? Lol...now I have heard it all.

BUSHBOY AND UGLYBOY. TWO FIFTY YEAR OLDS CALLING THEMSELVES BOYS.
THE CHINA BOY IS CALLED AARON SAMUEL AND YES, THE CHEMISTRY WORKS BETTER

[fabio]

Blast from the past.

[Ekorian]

The China guy was our qualifier goal leader and just won the Afcon golden boot. Another proof that Ugly boy and Pa Jane are siamese dunce heads with zero football knowledge. No wonder Pa J was banned from playing music inside the metro. At least, a panhandler should have some brain.
