Re: The NFF suspends footballer for 2 season for Handball offence

The NFF must have viewed the goal decision as not an error but something more sinister, like match fixing. It doesn't say so in the report, I am just speculating :???: Kpom! The play was just too duplicitous to be an accidental handball. The league had to do something so severe so as to discourage ...

Re: Nsien Interview -

The ex Angolan coach is also ahead of him. But he should be appointed as the U20/assistant SE coach. He should be seriously considered. But if he doesn't get the SE job he should be considered for the U20 job. I also would like the Beyond Limits coach, Olumide Ajibolade to coach our U17. But with t...

Re: Nsien Interview -

I KNOW MICHAEL NSIEN, JR. He is a tremendous coach and is very ready to coach the Super Eagles. Not many know that as a College player for UCLA, he came home to play for our Olympic team which failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. Not many know that when he was the coach of FC Tulsa, he facilita...

Re: ‘We’re evaluating viability’ — Tony Elumelu hints at buying NPFL club

Things are slowly changing. If Elumelu succeeds in buying a club, he will raise the profile of the NPFL and other businessmen might follow suit. But it shouldn't be for CSR, but purely commercial. https://twitter.com/thecableng/status/1777390965726097497 Tony Elumelu, chairman of the United Bank of...

Amaju dud not want an indigenous manager and he was pretty much open about it at the time. I have mentioned several times that he said that clearly to a few us ...

I am convinced Finidi will coach SE in the June World Cup qualifiers. I'm convinced he won't...or least I wish you're wrong. I want to believe that they should have announced Findi by now if it were to be the case. The slowness to appoint someone and the lack of communication to that effect is nerv...

Aren’t you concerned that people would rather have any oyibo than give the position to a Northerner?
Very concerned and shameful if you ask me.

We have to do better. I don't know how we can work on our collective bias.

He is mobile, quick, has a cool head on his shoulders, can bring other attacking players into the game, he is not one dimensional in his sty...

BTW, give a 3rd party unaffiliated person (professional) to grade the players. Watch the game tape without any commentary. No knowledge of who the players are or their 'resume'.

No manager is immune from the NFF tampering with the invitation list. NONE! So, let's get that one off the table. We have sat and witnessed Peisero and other oyibo coaches before him invite players for friends and refuse to use them. It is called "Coach's decision" when they do it. But, do...
