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...

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...

Let me spell it out one last time. A friendly you would test up and comming talents to integrate them into your team.

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 ...

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...
