John-Fashanu

Former England and Wimbledon striker John Fashanu has expressed his interest in the Super Eagles coaching job.

Speaking to journalists in Ogun State, in a video posted on X, the 1988 FA Cup winner with Wimbledon, stated that he has what it takes to lead the Super Eagles provided he has the right people to work with.

“I want to be the manager of the Eagles, that’s one of the hardest job in this country. But I’m saying I can do it and I can do it with the right people, the people who understand the game of football.

“It’s not about how much can you give us Fash, how much you’ve got for us, how many millions can we make out of you. It’s not about that. It’s about getting players who can play in different countries because it’s all about different countries and it’s very important to get players with the right mentality, the right character, players who want to play for the country.

“I wanted to play for my country but in the end I was chosen to play for England and I played for England three times a d I came back to the motherland.”

The 62-year-old, who also featured for clubs like Aston Villa, Norwich and Millwall, retired from professional football in 1995 and never had any coaching experience.

Fashanu was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, the son of Pearl Gopal, a nurse from British Guiana and Patrick Fashanu, a Nigerian barrister living in the UK.

His footballing career began at Norwich City in 1979, and he turned professional two years later – just as his late brother Justin was transferred to Nottingham Forest from the relegated Carrow Road club.

Fashanu represented England at full International level and made his debut in 1989 in a friendly game against Chile.

He was also eligible to play for Nigeria and since retiring he has expressed regret in not being able to do so.

Hmm.. thought you said it doesnt matter what someone has done or where they played, it only mattered what they can do in an SE shirt. Shouldnt that also applies here? Shouldnt we wait to see what Fashanu can do on our bench, as well? It doesnt matter what he has done or where he is presently coaching? Abi?

Ditto . I met him a couple of times during my teenage years at his father's house in Ibadan, because his late younger stepbrother, Akin (who was mixed-race), was a very good friend of mine. John has always been quite a character...really funny and full of life.

Danfo,

Is your conclusion not quite a stretch? Apples are not oranges, as you well know. In my discourses, that you cite, you neglected to note that that the point was specifically about player invitation. As far as I know, John Fashanu long retired as a player....But let us assume, for a moment, that John Fashanu is still a player, does he not have to prove himself at X League or Y League before his invitation? Or did I claim that anyone would be invited, proven or not?

This is quite a change for you, isnt it? All of a sudden, you seem to want people to "prove themselves at X League or Y league?" This is remarkable change for you! You clearly stated that you didnt care much about that at all? According to you, the league the player plays does not matter and what the player does outside the SE does not matter. Why the different standard for Fashanu?

Danfo,

You are seriously misquoting. Well, let me re-state my position yet again....

I do not care, one pence, whether the player is playing in dis league or dat (e.g. NPFL or Serie A), if the player plays well in that league simply invite him to the SE and let him prove himself.

TO further clarify .... I do not support limiting invitation to only players who play in Top 5 or Top DIS and DAT.

Hopefully, this should be clear.
