i will not join in slating on beating down on a black man or African..all of a sudden they are after the Africans.. out of no where , they come up with a ban or fake news... no video, no voice recordings, and we are yet to know which games..please i call it BS

As a fan of Sia1, I am as shocked as you are. This has nothing to do with beating down, I only asked to find out if there is another angle to this as it was posted on FIFA's official website which makes it real news. The question as asked by others is 'What is going on?'.

[YemiBrazil]

This has come out of nowhere. FIFA cannot be allowed to make a monumental decision like this without providing reasons behind it and providing evidence to his guilt. They have to be taken to task especially if it had anything to do with matches that occurred while coaching the national team.

KPOM!

who is Mr Wilson Raj Perumal
Who are those in

FIFA via its competent departments and in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders and authorities.

Wilson Raj Perumal (born 31 July 1965) is a convicted Singaporean match-fixer. Perumal is accused on several match fixing scandals, including Asiagate in 2007–2009 and the 2008–2011 Finnish match-fixing scandal. He was first jailed for match-fixing in 1995 in Singapore.

I have just spoken to Siasia. His words
"I don't know anything about this. I did nothing wrong and I have not received any letter from FIFA."
Siasia also told me - very angrily - that he was never invited to defend himself and is hearing about all of this for the first time
He will fight this and clear his name

Wow. I seriously hope he is clean. He has to fight this. No hearing at all, not to talk of fair hearing??? Unacceptable.

Exactly my thought on this! They should have done proper investigation and there is no way they can justify not giving Sia1 a chance to defend himself. You can't just rely on investigation of that match fixer guy. he could have been dealing with any random yahoo guy.

Can you for once ....shut the f--k up. It is clowns like you that glorify and defend criminals that bring shame on decent black folks.
Siasia is a crook and you can take your defense of criminals to buffoons that think like you.

I wont say I am surprised. I have seen some games coached by Siasia that I can almost swear he intentionally sabotaged the team. From the Olympic final to some U20 games where he will play an AM as a DM thereby completely unbalancing the team when they needed the most stability or leaving out the most important player in the team in a final match. I wont be surprised if these were old issues from his U20 and U23 coaching days. Too bad because I really like Siasia as a player and coach, his lads were always fun to watch as they display the best skills we all love about Naija footy, its the head scratching losses and in game management on some crucial games that leaves me with some mixed feelings about him. If all this is true I wont be surprised but I will prefer for it to be false.

We haven't heard from Siasia or CAS on this issue.

According to Colin, Siasia knows nothing about it.

...how will a big organization like fifa conduct such investigation without inviting the individual to come state his side.
Just an arbitrary decision to punish.
I hope he go to court big time if he can afford a big time lawyer.

[Chief Ogbunigwe]

The only thing I have against SiaOne was his statements after a woeful performance alleging that it was the players' fault, and that African Youths were "daft"

Afcon semifinal comes to mind.
I thought that he limited his criminal acts only to 'pay to play' but losing OUR games because of bribery deserves a FIRING SQUAD.
Nonsense

The chickens have come home to roost. The guy has been selling places in his squad from the FE to the SE. Very crooked guy and shameless about it.

From reading the FIFA press release, not sure it was wrt any particular game or result, but rather his acceptance or willingness to participate in the scheme....

In the meantime, I am still a bit sceptical about this notice from the @FIFAcom Adjudicatory Chamber. I've not seen it on any of the FIFA channels and I've been searching.
So, until it comes, my advise would be to take it with a pinch of salt

Won't be surprised someone in this internet age is fabricating fifa web info page. It does not make sense to sentence someone to death penalty without notifying the person you are being charged. Or at least announce it publicly.

The suspicious win in Kenya. He was in Nairobi that weekend with Perumal.

Does the Rohr brigade have anything to do with this?
