[b]Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) assistant secretary, Emmanuel Ikpeme, has slammed Samson Siasia for his wage demands.

The NFF is currently in negotiations with the former Flying Eagles’ youth coach, as they seek a replacement for Swede Lars Lagerback, who stepped down after the World Cup.

However, the former Nigerian striker's salary demands of a $1million signing on fee, and a $100,000 a month, has proved to be a sticky point.

Ikpeme maintains the NFF simply can not afford to meet Siasia's demands.

"To me what Siasia is demanding as a national coach is good, but we have to do things according to what we believe we can conveniently pay.

"We'll not pay Siasia a salary that we'll turn around later to default on our promise.

"If I may recall, the salary we paid Berti Vogts ($30,000) was offset by Globacom. That of the immediate past coach of the Eagles, Lars Lagerback ($330,000 monthly) was paid by the Presidential Task Force because of the World Cup

"Shuaibu Amodu, whom the FA paid by itself, did not earn what Siasia is demanding for right now. I think we should go for what we can afford to offer in order for anybody not to regret it later in the future."

the funny thing is that siasia is being paid less than 5,000 dollars at heartland, liberia rejected him, so most likely he don't even have a choice

Why are Nigerian coaches poorly paid?

at the end of the day, some groups are behind siasia's demands. there are a lot of settlemensts to be done in the house.
there is a possibility that siasia will not end up with half of what he is demanding for.
corruption in the country is destroying everything.

Why are Nigerian coaches poorly paid?

Because they are tagged as local coaches and because some Nigerians love to worship anything with a white skin.

Let siasia accept N 3 Million naira, N 1 million naira can be added every 6-1yr if he's performing well enough.

If the value of the super eagles go up by their good performance and results, then the overhead returns of the team would force the NFA into increasing the coach's salaries.

Let siasia sign a contract of this kinda nature.
