Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move
How we all factored in the possibility that FINIDI expects some players NOT to honor invitations given sentiments expressed after the last 2 friendlies? Plan B (partial use of home based players) has being activated.

Re: VICTOR IKPEBA Issues INSULT: "We Settled for him (Finidi)......"
Poor interview. 1. So what anxieties does Ikpeba have about local coaches that he needs to share, and have the general populace understand? I2. t is then understood since the NFF can afford a foreign manager, we want to know Finidi's pay package. It appears just like the NIKE contract, this Finidi a...

I order food on an app; I peruse several restaurants on the app, choose a restaurant I like and then order on the app. The analogy is...you don't have to assemble and camp even if you want to discover talent at the senior level in 2024. There's ample TV/youtube coverage. Also, in the 1990s you coul...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move
POSITIVE MOVE Well, if true, with one masterstroke, NFF/Finidi have eliminated some critical issue that has plagued the last 2 Foreign coaches. Unwillingness and/or inadequacy in local talent scouting. By so doing, Finidi's has refocused on the local league to compensate for current weaknesses. Weak...

Re: OFFICIAL & BREAKING: NFF Finally Announces Finidi as Eagles Manager......
Let me spell it out one last time. A friendly you would test up and comming talents to integrate them into your team. Any coach that does not give Nathan Tella or Fisayo Bashiru a single minute of play over 2 matches, does not wish SE well. It means he has a complete disregard for team building, a ...

Re: NFF to choose between two Nigerian coaches for Super Eagles job…

Re: NFF to choose betaeen two Nigerian coaches for Super Eagles job…
Nigeria is in trouble. I am not going to sugar coat it to anyone. The pragmatic thing to do is hire Finidi George. Surround him with a good back room staff. The backroom staff is even more important than hiring the head coach. All hands on deck. They need to name the assistants along side the head ...

Stori. If true, why the effort to revive the career of journeymen coaches? It appears that is the unspoken criteria for selection.

Re: It is April 7th, the NFF still have not named a coach for the SE
Nff is in serious financial trouble, they owe way more than the $5m they received for Afcon, even 10B that was supposed to be paid by the govt is yet to be remitted to the nff. Players and coaches are still owed for 23 games dating back to 2021 , means they still owe Rohr and his assistants too. As...

I do think there are quite some valid observations from the pro foreign coach, and pro local coach crowd. It leads me to state we are playing checkers while the NFF are playing chess.

We are making the same mistake we made when Eguavoen took over from Rohr before the AFCON 2021 (actually played in Jan 2022).
