Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager
Some of you guys don't mind sacrificing the careers of 27 + players and dreams of 250 million plus people to give one local unqualified coach a chance. Get over it already we saw a cameo of Finidi who couldnt even manage his players. Left people who should start on merit on the bench with no conver...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager
That barrier was smashed by breaking discrimination, NOT by lowering standards. How do you break discrimination? You seem to be conflating equality and equity. No one is asking for standards to be lowered. In Naijaria, they will spec out the best standards, best practices and when it comes to doing...

Without context any analysis is worthless. And it seems that you don't understand this. For all your posturing here you were one the many Siasia or Oliseh haters here. Two coaches that I actually supported Goes to show you that I don't just sheepishly support ALL local coaches. I support the good o...

Re: NFF Not Serious on Youth Football

Enugu, but he coached and coaches one of the lower teams in holland, the fact that he has 50 wins , 28 draws and 60 loses isn't a bad result for coaching Groningen.

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager
I’m all out for Finidi unless we come up with a performing and experienced foreign coach. Meanwhile I hate this ‘white’ coach narrative instead of ‘foreign’ coach It’s so patronizing and deliberately framed that way by our Nigerian Freedom Fighters keen on showing they are proud black people. :roll...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager
I’m all for hiring a foreign coach but this one makes no sense. I’m sorry but some people at the NFF must be getting a cut from hiring these journey man foreign coaches. Finidi did let us down big time but I’ll rather give him a few more chances than hiring this underachiever. Now our resident blac...

Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager
Yesterday, I had an annoying conversation with an NFF official on the issue of hiring a manager for the SE. I will keep the name of the official anonymous but will discuss the kernel of the issue. My understanding is that pone of the managers that someone is pushing for is one Danny Buijs, the Dutc...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach
Why should a UEFA License be a requirement for a Nigerian coach with CAF License to coach a Nigerian team? That's like saying an SAT and GRE or GMAT should be a requirement for getting admission into a university in Nigeria. I am not making an arguing for Finidi to be the coach or not, but it's stu...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach
Employ Michael Nsien. Simple. He's currently an Assistant Coach with the US National team and is also the substantive Head Coach of the US u19 team. A Nigerian through and through, he was part of our Olympic team that failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. He has the UEFA Pro, UEFA A, and USSF A ...

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...

Mace There is a lot to unpack from this interview. However, let's start from your point that Amaju hired Oliseh. Let that not deceive you. 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 ...
