Thus they wanted to pocket some of his money obviously, assuming what the article/the coach said is true. Na wa for us in Nigeria.

But why wouldn't they when no one will be held accountable, no matter the issue or evidence

That's why the clamour for foreign coaches- more money. Now they clamour for their coaches to be paid in Naira.

Wow! Are you for real? If you had posted that the real reason Amodu and co were sacked in 2010 is because of the opportunity created by this allegations, I would agree with you but linking Eriksson's allegations to paying Rohr in naira is a bit too farfetched IMO.

Everyone is now opening up a out the payment for squad places that occurred during the 2014 WC in Brazil. First it was Brown Ideye, then assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi and now it's Chinedu Obasi.
The Sports minister, Sunday Dare, said he would set up a sports Ombudsman to look into the allegations.
I expect more, maybe this revelations would bring sanity to our football.

Who is going to respond on behalf of Keshi?


I dont know how this process can be fair when the one of the accused cannot defend himself.


Just a thought as well, and not in defense of in support of anyone, but in Nigeria, we all know that team lists are "approved by the NFF technical committee." Many times, our coaches end up picking less than 60% of the players on their list.

Who and who called the players who won the AFCON and qualified for the WC junk players? Who were the people up in arms that we can't field the same team that won the AFCON or we took to the Confederations cup to the World Cup proper? That will be your cue regarding who would have benefitted from suddenly opening up the team for slots.

Yeah, the "we should avoid disgrace crew... we need new players and a World Class coach crew".
A poor attempt at masking them wanting to use every and any means to flood the team with their clients.

Yes, we know them.

Bros, don't mind them.

The folks who criminally kicked them out of their hotel during their Semi-Final game, owed them money in South Africa, shocked that they won the AFCON while they were interviewing new coaches are still there.

The guys who didn't like the mix of players used for the AFCON and the Confederation Cup.

The ones who embezzled WC money.

Yes, the ones that insisted that the team be overhauled.

The ones who kept on hammering that the coaching crew weren't good enough and were just too happy that the team lost to France so they can finally get rid of Keshi to teach him a lesson while keeping the balance of the money the President had to fly to Brazil to settle the team's outstanding obligations.

Yes, those people will blame it all on Keshi... because he is not there to name names.
