Re: Pay as you go for assistant coaches
The problem with that is you may struggle to keep the assistants for a reasonable amount of time if they are not properly compensated Not really. For two reasons: 1. These assistants are not "appointed" by the NFF. They are guys who Finidi hand-picked. So clearly, these are his friends wh...

Ol' boy, I have never ever read about a player who has done very little in his career get the kind of HYPE Nwakali gets on this Forum.

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad
For me, Finidi's claim that Nigeria should always be on the front foot, based on its attacking talent, will be tested. He appears to have loads of Nigerians who support him on that analysis. But he needs to be reminded that Peseiro started his job believing the same until some poor results forced h...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad
There are quite a number of things I would love to see, how he lines up his team both formation-wise and personnel-wise. Having Seyi and Bassey healthy. Who starts at fullback with Aina healthy and taking one spot? Would he play him at RB or LB? Who plays LB? His midfield personnel and alignment. Wi...

Dude, I have no intentions of being dragged into your muck. Yes, you lied and misrepresented the truth. And Nigeria does NOT have a number one keeper - ever position on the team is subject to change.
