Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

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: Local Coach Advocacy- Like Forrest Gump!

You will never get it. You deride Bell, Gotti and others but they have been consistent is letting you natives know that you can't separate football from the malaise that ails us. You think by appointing a foreign coach they will be able to prevail better than local coaches who are only given a frac...

Re: Madrid vs City

@Tx, behave. Entertaining exhibition but defensively, a case of who spiked the water bottles. Leading up to Bernie’s free kick, how far was Grealish allowed to carry the ball before being engaged? Looked like an outtake from United vs Liverpool. Camavinga’s equaliser, Grealish returns the complimen...

Re: Losing Saka should be a criminal offense by Pinnick

Even if Saka chose Nigeria, his effectiveness would only be as good as the coach and NFF allows him to be. There would be no point of having a sword one cannot use properly. True. Sakas kind of raw talent is in abundance in Nigeria. That is not the issue. I know we are in denial, but it’s the devel...

Re: Liverpool FC - News, Developments and All Seasons

Very disappointing result given the dominance. For some reason the boys are so wasteful in front of goal. But this was always going to be tough, I felt, and is the toughest road game left IMO. I still think the advantage lies with City, based on strength of schedule... Our forwards have been wastef...

Re: Local Coach Advocacy- Like Forrest Gump!

For me the issue is simple. I do not like Nigerian born coaches. I do not think they are best for SE. Not because I don't think they are not competent. Not at all. But they come with their EXTREME biases, favoritism, tribalism, bigmanism , and propensity to work for THEMSELVES rather than the team....
