Re: Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.

Re: Nwakali in hot water for being on phone on subs’ bench

How did he get a phone on to the pitch? Players normally come out in their gear and nothing else.

Re: Finidi George's Wages?.....Interesting.

I never understand why the press publishes details of someone’s salary. Surely that is confidential information under the contract? The other bit of news that concerns me is Amokachi’s presence in the coaching team. His “analysis” (if gisting like a guy in a bar deserves the name) while commentatin...

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...

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.
