Wow. Enjoyed the Man City game today and was most especially excited with the cameo appearance of Jacob Wright. I can't wait for Nigeria to churn out genuine midfield geniuses.

Keep in mind that this Jacob Wright is home grown and from Manchester.

With the right investment and management, I believe we can nurture and develop outstanding talents.

Jacob Wright. Remember the name.

Aside Mancity are you also interested in Arsenal (at least the Arsenal of Arsene Wenger)? seeing how you love sexy football.

Actually my best Arsenal was not the early days of Wenger. That is Henry, Bergkamp, Kanu, Wiltord, Pires, Parlour etc. My best was the Hleb, Rosicky, Fabregas time. I think Nasri, Van Persie were in that team too. Also Denilson. Men the football was so eye catching.

GeneralDae:

Also amongst my best teams ever too (I just love Arsenal generally), but you know, people underrated that set because they hardly won anything. But they were phenomenal as well even leading to the Ozil Arsenal era.

5% development fee to the people that assisted in development of a player is okay. I am just pointing out that those forming Voltron can chill. Finito.

What I am saying is that under no circumstances will any professional football club pay a private individual.

What we have here is NFF officials coaches etc setting up proxy football academies as the conduit to claim compensation/ development fees.

A coach is employed to coach players and even paid and then after recieving salary he feels he is entitled to some share of the compensation. Then what about the physio, the cook , the analysts, sports scientist and fitness coaches,what about the gate man they can claim some level of contribution to a players development. Where is their share ❓

I've never heard such complete and utter balderdash we are essentially justifying corruption, illegality, extortion and exploitation.

You can see why we have the kind of political leaders we have . Our politicians reflect the people who condone corruption.

You sef dey see am?

If as a coach, one of my players got a good deal abroad and the family decided to gift me a small percentage of the developmental fee, I will collect it inasmuch as it is not illegal.

However, if I negotiate with one of my player's camp to find him a good club abroad on the basis that I would collect a certain percentage of the transfer fee, that is bribery.

From the screenshot posted by Elder Kog, the 5% of the fee was actually given to Amunike AND his coaching crew. That was after the tourney o. Not like he collected the money before the tourney.

Perhaps to show that Amunike may not have a clean hand.

When he is from their tribe he is innocent no matter what!

Replace Amunike with Salisu/Tinubu and see them come out with venom! Yeye!

We pretend too much on this section!

Please don't bring any tribalism stuff into this issue. Please. Argue with fact and civility.

I've seen several of these proxy academies set up by individuals to use as a front for claiming compensation/ development fees for Nigerian youth players.

I said earlier under no circumstances will any club pay any fees to a private individual and even more so a national team coach of the NFF.

Amedino99:
he was already compensated for the development of the young players by his employers the NFF. Any other thing na ojukokoro. Collecting another fee after being paid by the NFF is completely wrong. For someone who is well known for advocating for following due procedures, it's quite somehow seeing you justify this blatant act of corruption. The only people that deserves development fees are the people that took care of his development outside of the national team.

jihday:
no where in the world is this practice ok , stop defending corruption

charlesemeka85:
na still dubious practice cus it’s not obtainable in football business

Such only happen in Africa and South America

Danielnino00:


It happens a lot in Europe too... For instance, Man city paid Halaand's father a sizable amount of money before his transfer from Dortmund. that doesn't include the transfer fee they paid to Dortmund and the agent fee they paid to Mino Raiola.. the total transfer package is said to be over 300m or so.

do4luv14:



What do you know about having clean hands

lovewins:


My guy. Don't do this now. You're comparing apples and oranges. Halaand's dad was a co-agent with Ravioli and got paid as that. This also isn't a new practice as footballers usually do this to either keep money in the family or as a way to get a family member paid. Victor Osimhen and a number or Nigerian players did this.

FIFA has however put an end to this as only licensed agents can be now get commissions during transfers. There's also a cap to how much they can get now. Everyone you listed above are those who should ideally get paid in a transfer; the club selling and the agents (Raiola and his dad).

No one has a problem with Amuneke getting paid in transfers, he however should not eat his cake and have it. He should register as an agent and not take up any national team appointment so he can pursue this full-time. What he did in Nwakali's case is wrong.

Danielnino00:


Well, you are quite right.. By FIFA law, an individual can not register as a football agent if he or she is "an official or employee of FIFA, a confederation, a member association, a league, a club, a body that represents the interests of clubs or leagues or any organisation connected directly or indirectly with such organizations and entities"
However, I can't verify if the law was updated before or after the money was paid to Amuneke.

TheGoodJoe:


The U17 Contract was long over before the transfer.
