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...

Re: It is April 7th, the NFF still have not named a coach for the SE
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 ...

Re: Local Coach Advocacy- Like Forrest Gump!
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...

Re: Terem Moffi: Why Not Giving Him A Chance?
I really don't understand why it hasn't clicked for Terem granted he has had limited opportunities for the team. He seems the most versatile of our attackers. 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...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi did not invite Sadiq Umar for Super Eagles
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'.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi did not invite Sadiq Umar for Super Eagles
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...

I completely agree to your views. Dessers in particular should have nothing to do with the SE again. Offers nothing. Can't pass, can't press, can't shoot, can't score. We played very good football, something that I've not seen in a while. We switched various formations throughout the game and I lov...

Re: FINIDI GEORGE IS A TERRIBLE COACH
I wont say he's a terrible coach. I will say he showed some inexperience and naivety with regards game and squad management. Few obvious things he missed 1. Ndidi does not play 90 mins for Leicester and rarely plays 2 games in a week post injury. He played 90 mins against Mali while 2 other midfiel...
