Syenite:

And how is this sad news to naija football entirely? That part of the country is lacking in football talent, simple. Next season they need to buy players from across the Niger to come back to top flight football. ENYIMBA 4 LIFE!!!

fineheart:

Who said it is only Enugu Rangers that have never been relegated before? Heartland of Owerri (right from when they were called Spartans of Owerri to Iwuanyanwu Nationale) have NEVER been relegated before as well.

By the way, what is special about 3SC? They have been relegated many times in past and will continue to suffer the same fate so long as they continue to be sectional in their recruitment of players.

Mr McJay:

Ever wondered why your side of the Niger only plays football but never administers the sport?

What we may lack in brawns, we surely make up for it in brains.

Now, who's the boss?

NRI PRIEST:

Iwuanyanwu has been relegated before; Rangers remain the only club of the old that has never kissed relegation.

As for Sutin stars,they need to stop been so sectional. We have a northerner as enyimba coach and we also have easterners coaching in the north.

Afam4eva:
In their first season in the top division Enyimba finished 13th out of 16 clubs, winning just five out of 30 games with a goal difference 25–36. In the following season they won eight games but still finished 15th with 36 points, just one point short from escaping relegation behind Stationery Stores, and were relegated to second level for the 1992 season. Enyimba then stayed in the second level for the next two seasons before winning promotion in 1993, finishing first with 29 wins out of 46 games, winning a record 96 points with a goal difference 64–25, with most goals scored and fewest goals conceded in the 24-team league.

chidindufrank: Wow I'm reading this for the first time o. Anyway that's their cup of coffee, [b]up Gabros of Nnewi [/b]for life o

Afam4eva:
And i guess football is being managed very well. We can now compete with La Liga and Premiership. Kelechukwu clap for yourself.

Afam4eva:
I was hoping that Gabros would gain promotion this year. They have been in the second division for too long.

Mr McJay:

That is entirely another angle entirely. The management is a reflection of the Nigerian situation.

chidindufrank: It is the fault of Chairman Gabreil Chukwuma, he is only interested in selling the best players to europe and to other stronger teams on the local scene

Afam4eva:
Is that not the brother of Innocent Chukwuma? I guess for him it's more about money than glory.

chidindufrank: He is oga Innocent's brother,he is running the club for money not glory. That family is business inclined I must confess

Afam4eva:
He should stop running a one man business and open the club up for investors. I actually think we need clubs like that that are privately owned. I also think the name of the club should be changed to "Nnewi FC".

chidindufrank: Forget sectional issue, Coach Godfrey Esu whom guided 3SC shooting Stars to 1997 CAF Champions League final hails from Delta state. The problem of Shooting stars is that they don't pay their players very well and also the team finds it to win a match outside Lekan Salami Stadium Adamasimgba.liberty stadium Ibadan is more like an away ground for them and that's a very bad football culture. Onigbende has a hand in the teams misfortune too

Ola one:

deols: This is embarasin

Afam4eva: I was hoping they would remain to give the league some color but they only have themselves to blame for this. I hope they come back as soon as possible and not remain in the lower division like Insurance of Benin...My Enugu Rangers remains the only team never to be relegated in the history of the Nigerian premier league.
