Terrible decision there by Ogbu and more than half of the defence, chasing the ball and not recognizing the space they were leaving behind...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

Surely there must be ONE EXAMPLE from the Global World of Sports that you can cite? What was found wanting in the US is ACCESS for minorities. Do you know what access means? Do you understand the difference between ACCESS and HIRING? The NFL reformed its system IMPROVE ACCESS. But nowhere in the NF...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

Txj It appears you have difficulty understanding the issues. Let me lay it down for you. 1. You said that best practice represents identifying a manager that works for you and then hiring the individual. Then you cited its use in Europe. No. I cited its use globally. That is what best practice mean...

Re: NPFL 23/24 Season Underway with a brand new broadcasting deal

EII, I believe it is reasonable to insist, except in the glaringly obvious cases of undismissable talent, that they prove themselves in a tournament like U20, WAFU or CHAN. If they are able to hold their own against other home-based African talent then the argument for giving them a more serious lo...

Re: AAG - Flying Eagles vs South Sudan - 1st Half

That was bad football. I dont think I have ever seen a Nigerian youth team play that badly, The referee is crazy. That was an obvious dive. It is crzy lol. Again, these boys have not been together for more than a few weeks. How do you expect them to play good football like a team? This is one of th...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

Okay, it has shifted to being done all over the WORLD . That, still, does not make it best. If it did, why do you think it is bein g changed in some places that I have pointed at? The key is looking at the practice itself and not the place. Take the case of Packers, for instance, as I noted in the ...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

Exactly!!! What is done in Europe is neither modern nor is it best practice. It has monumental problems. In the USA, changes are taking place. You support Green Bay Packers and should be aware of what is now constituting best practice on the issue discussed here. That best practise is rewarding tho...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

Nope. But Nigeria can set the pace. Nigeria should not always follow. If there is a more objective system, the MN follow it. We all know that the current system is deep-seated in an old boys network. Hopefully, you also know that. This is a system previously used in gridiron football in the USA tha...

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?

The biggest team he has managed is Braga’s reserve team. The biggest team that Guardiola had managed before he was hired was the Barcelona youth team. What you should ALSO look at is how his teams have played. Same for the Nigerian born coaches. And how this fits into what we want and what players ...

Re: Benjamin Tiaminu - New SE

This is a very tough thread to comment on. Full Disclosure - Benjamin was brought to me in Lagos in 2017 from Benin as a young 15-16 yr old kid then to tryout for my academy. He trained with us for awhile but ended up going back to Benin. We were unable to work something out with his folks. I kept ...

Let him apply. Hopefully, there is a personnel team hired to go through applications and make good recommendation of candidates for the NFF to interview. That should be a modern system to help reduce extreme subjectivity in the process. Quick question for you. Have you ever seen where any of the to...
