Re: BREAKING: Finidi Unveiled...to be assisted by 3 foreign assistants (DISCUSS)

Can you make your salary public also, so you can be a target for alayes also? You want Finidi to make his salary public so you all can queue up to call him bros. Man, gerrarahia. At last. Nice one.

Does anyone know how much he is being paid? Salaries of foreign coaches is always public, so we can shout when they don’t perform.

Re: What Club Should Osimhen Sign For & Why?

There is no such thing as "NHS tax" (I can tell you do not live in England). The cost of living is high in London . £1 million (which is chicken change to an elite professional footballer) would buy a 6 bedroom detached house in the Manchester suburbs. That would not even buy a 1 bedroom ...

Re: Unraveling Boniface's mysterious absence from yesterday's Europa League match.

Boniface looked a bit out of sorts in their last Euro match. I don’t know if he is not fully fit or just being his usual casual self but he gave away the ball too many times in that match and just made wrong decisions with the ball. To be honest, I have not really being sold on the Boniface hype. Th...

Re: FINIDI GEORGE, SUPER EAGLES COACH: FOOTBALL IS HARD AND TAKES IT'S TOLL

Finidi’s temperament is similar to that of late coach Amodu, he doesn’t get too up or down, he’s even tempered but deceptively extremely focused and ambitious. A lot of other coaches would’ve been happy earning fx in Spain and stuck it out with Mallorca youth teams hoping some day God will bless th...

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

The NFF didn't hire a coach until 1 month before the start of the tournament. All the CE members looking for excuses for them is part of the problem. You are a major problem to discussions here but you don’t know it. Aren’t you aware that there was already an U17 team before Manu was appointed? Tha...

How often has the Federation fired a foreign coach (I can remember only Bonfrere). How often has it extended a Nigerian coach? The answer could be telling.

You remember Bonfrere but not Rohr who was the most recent FC to be sacked?

But we’ve been told that his real name is Amuneke and Amunike came about by some typo in his name many years ago. And he just adopted it, similar to John Mikel Obi.

Every year, there’s a new article about how 50% of the incoming eaglets have failed this MRI test.

NFF mandating these kids to do their own private MRI test send one kind. How do they expect them to pay for it and how reliable would it be? Also, they already had a team that played in the qualifiers in February where 3 failed the MRI tests. So we can conclude that the team has not been hurriedly p...

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

The MRI test is not 100 percent correct all the time. There are false positives. The blame is the NFF. Appointing a coach 1 month before an event. Waiting untill the last minute to do MRI tests. Normally the MRI tests are done much earlier to get eligible players for campaign. It takes time to teac...

Is this about the NFF or the endemic corruption of Nigerians? More than half the team failed the MRI. These are 15, 16 yr old kids already misrepresenting themselves. You’ve said it all.
