Amaju Pinnick's troubling interview on Keshi's sack

[truetalk]

I cannot discount what the guy has done for Delta state sports, and I have no big issues with not giving Keshi a new contract.

What I find really troubling was the cheap lies Pinnick was peddling in the Media today (on Nigerian TV) to justify his decision. Among these were:

- Fans were booing throughout the game and wanted to attack the team.
Abuja fans actually supported the team quite well yesterday.

- Fans invaded the team to attack Keshi, and the board decided to fire him to protect a hero.
Fans invaded the pitch in excitement for the win and the 3rd goal which was close to the end. It is an indictment on the NFF that the pitch invasion was not anticipated and prevented (through announcements and adequate security).

It is important to make these points in the light of the reported clash between Pinnick and Keshi over $150,000 from Mba's transfer. We need to know that the NFF Chair is acting in National Interest and not settling scores. Sad the press did not question him on this.

So did Ke$hi not also settle scores as coach ? Crook fighting crook then, never the less it was of the utmost importance to get rid of the most crooked and corrupt NIGERIAN coach in recent history.

Good riddance.

Uncle Truetalk ,

Dude got the appointments after pimping his sister to the short governor. Read his prior televised interviews on another thread and u will see dude believes in both spirits and foreign coach!

I am happy for my Aj pikin sia 1 though.

Funny thing is that pinnick did not need to justify not renewing Keshi contract other than to say Naija should not be struggling to qualify for ANC!

Coaches live and die by results!

There is a word with which you described Amaju above, that makes me come to the conclusion that you don't know him well enough as you claimed. I personally think he is too pro western, he should look for indigenous solutions for indigenous football problems

Loku, Pinnick and humble cannot be put in the same sentence. If you have spent time with him, you can't call him humble.

By John Egbokha

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has said that Coach Stephen
Keshi was sacked to safeguard him from the wrath of enraged Nigerian fans, who were on the
brink of lynching him during Wednesday’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with Sudan.

Pinnick and other NFF Executive Committee members watched with awe, as fans pelted Keshi
with water bottles and stones as they demanded for the head of the 2013 AFCON winner at the
Abuja National Stadium, venue of the match, which Nigeria won 3-1 to keep alive their hopes of
qualifying for next year’s tournament in Morocco.

Chants of “Keshi must go:, “sack Keshi” and “we don’t want Keshi
again” rented the air as fans went overdrive in their bid to get their
voices heard by the NFF, who swiftly swung into action in the wee
hours of yesterday by axing the former Togo and Mali coach.

And speaking when he paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Sports
and Chairman, National Sports Commission, Dr. Tamuno Danagogo
yesterday, Pinnick explained the personal safety of Keshi was
considered more important than anything else.

Pinnck, it was learnt told the Minister that he was shocked with the
hostile reception of the fans towards Keshi, arguing that it would be
dangerous for Keshi to remain as coach in the face of such hostility.

He added that it was the first time in recent years that abuses and stones were rained down on a
Nigerian coach by fans.

“It was too much to bear. The fans were coming for him and it was going to be a security risk for
us as people had ran out of patience and were prepared to break the law to achieve their aim.

Keshi’s personal safety was paramount in our decision to relieve him of his duties”, Pinnick said.
