Re: Inside story of why NFF picked Finidi George over Amuneke for Super Eagles job

The source said: “He was drafted in by the Minister. On the morning of the second leg (against Ghana) in Abuja, he convinced Eguavoen to switch formation and play Osimhen as lone striker. “Even though they trained with two strikers, Osimhen and Ighalo all week.” I knew it. See how the NFF fails to ...

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.

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...

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.

Bad TV coverage/broadcast quality would make the South African coaching staff NOT to review the match, and pick the appropriate lessons.

It is all about The Plan.
