chrisooblog:Thats not even the worst. For me the proverbial " dirty slap in the face" to black players is Lee Bowyer and Joey Barton both of them essentially racist thugs. Joey Barton is a hooligan but despite all his misdemeanours which are present continous fighting other managers, etc . As soon as he finishes football his in management within months. See screen shot about his brother below.
|
Subzero047:That's why l asked what are the qualities required to be a deserving coach in the SE. |
Subzero047:How did you come to that very hasty conclusion. |
Utonwanne:Very simple answer RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. |
elyte89:He understands in depth politics of football and corruption. |
TheGoodJoe:Roy Hodgson, Frank Lampard, Brendan Rogers and Eddie Howe are not from England. Scott Parker is not better than Chris Houghton and Darren Moore or even Sol Campbell. |
jihday: Bruv it's very very very difficult for a black coach to get a Managers job in England as well as in Europe. The system is intrinsically racist and corrupted. With all the black players you have in England and with thier European A licences they cannot get a job. Best you get is youth football. Look at what happened to Darren Moore at West Bromwich and Chris Houghton at Newcastle. Blatant unrestrained racism. This is the English life they never talk about in the news. |
mostob:Why ❓ |
jihday:I can tell you that's categorically NOT TRUE. You have the elite group of the EPL top 6/7 teams that are really looking at the best across Europe. As well as the most outstanding in the Championship. That's why EPL clubs are looking at Adarabioyo and Eze amongst other players. The mid range to lower level of the EPL are looking at Championship outstanding players first. The first question always asked can these players from European leagues transition to the EPL without delay. The French league not too many questions asked but the lower you go in Europe they harder it gets. In this regard the a Eredivisie is not rated highly. You would have to be playing for Ajax and or very highly rated in the Eredivisie. The Eredivisie and Belgium are rated near 10th in Europe thar puts them in close to par with the Championship. But Championship players are more immediately adaptable to the EPL. That gives more preference to Championship players than Eredivisie and or the Belguim league. |
jihday:I really don't know. What are the requisites that make you deserving of the Eagles job. However, l think he is knowledgeable, informed, conversant and capable as well as of unquestionable integrity. |
TheGoodJoe:I don't know what exactly you disagree with. ![]() And what happened to Etebo in your opinion. Many European coaches sometimes are not tactically astute to adapt thier game to meet the challenges of the English game. Koeman outstanding coach became lost at Everton. It's much easier not easy just less problematic to coach when you have better players or players suited to the system you know how to coach. |
Danielnino00:I don't know, but think you are probably right at least I recent times. But then why are we discussing English coaches when the EPL is dominated by European coaches. David Moyes is Scottish and honestly he's not the most technically astute. But he understands the English game and can do a decent job for you. I absolutely think Chris Houghton could coach on European and do very well, he is English. There is so much money in the Championship it's probably the richest second tier in the World. As a result a lot of the coaches from top teams on Europe are going there. In all honesty the topic is dead you only find English coaches dominating in the league 1 completely. The bold, Even without the work permit rules. They are already at a disadvantage. It depends on the age of the players involved, what age are we talking ❓ |
TheGoodJoe:I have had experience of the lower teams in the Spanish league it's poor. I had some dealings 3/4 years ago with Cadiz it was pathetic and shocking. There is so little money in the Segunda many English league 1 clubs will compete with them. The coaching quality you talk about is only at the top levels of Spanish football. But you must appreciate you coach to reflect the football you are playing. the larger % of football in the Championship is kick and rush and the managers live and die with that philosophy. However, there are the smaller segment who still play good quality technical on the deck football and overcome the physicality with technicallity albeit fused with Athletic physicality. Deviation, why do you think Etebo couldn't just get going in the Championship. I was so dissapointed l thought the league would suit him and he would spring board to the EPL. But he simply failed to excited and dominate consistently. The ting suprise me. |
TheGoodJoe:Actually we absolutely do not need the kind of tainted and corrupted experience that Amunike brings. We need a fresh approach without political alliances and cartels. Finidi has the knowledge and right uncorrupted experience and clear vision without distraction. I do not want Finidi to learns anything from the NFF whatsoever. There is nothing to learn but corruption and politics from them. |
TheGoodJoe:The EPL is the most international league in Europe in its players and coaches. That's spilled over into the Championship. How many English coaches are in the EPL Much more in the Championship but at least 20% are not even English in my opinion not based on fact just superficial observation. Gary was a carpenter player and coach given undue favour and prominence. |
TheGoodJoe:Gary Neville like his brother Philip was a carpenter as a player and a carpenter as a coach. But given undue favour and prominence in English football hierarchy which is essentially very racist. |
TheGoodJoe:I agree but would have Finidi as head he us not tainted with past experience of the NFF. Finidi brings a clear perspective with clean hands and zero politics only a desire to succeed and he is not hungry for money. |
Arabiandude:Wow !!! Have nothing to say, l thought we were having a objective discussion. Not one under the bridge by Cele junction with intoxicated okada riders. |
Danielnino00:You are taking about two different things and with different context. Access to football for Nigerian players is a completely different topic just as is access to the French league very different for Francophone African countries. There is no problem of access for UK players including Nigerian origin players to playing in Europe. The only problem is £££ UK pays the highest in general. The top clubs in the EPL are just as technically astute as La Liga. However in general l think Last Liga is more technical. However, there is too much disparity between the top teams and the mid level teams in Liga. And the low level teams if La Liga have a huge gap between the top and bottom. You made the claim of average managers not l then pointed out a few for you, in the Championship. Now I challenge you to name better qualified and experienced coaches in any second tier league in the whole of Europe than in the Championship. Steve Bruce, Holloway, Hughes, Pulis are way above average managers the only one that's suspect is Pardew. So your comparison is not really hitting your claim. |
Arabiandude:What is genuine talent and what is fake talent please ❓ Talent is simply potential to be developed and released. There are many players with talent but developing that talent technically with football intelligence becomes another thing There are boys in the top academies of the EPL at age 9/10 you will be very surprised at the level of technical coaching. It gives these boys excellent first touch and awareness. Do you know that most Nigerian players have a huge learning curve to overcome. A learning curve that talent alone will not enable you overcome. But discipline, diligence, aptitude and pray for patient coaches. Because the one thing you don't have is a lot of time. Modern football is not just dribbling and doing skills it's gone far beyond that now. A big club can expose the gaps in your attributes and capacity that raw talent has covered in lower clubs and leagues for many years. |
Danielnino00:Frank Lampard, Nuno Santos, Rafael Benitez, Slaven Bilić, Marcelo Bielso, Chris Houghton to name a few past and present. These are all average coaches above according to you. The championship is the stepping stone to the EPL, if you can somehow with consistency play on the deck top quality technical football overcome the physicality and dominate. You will become a very high quality player wanted by the top clubs. There are many players who have come from the less physically intense and taxing leagues and struggled. I consider Etebo to be one of the best Midfielders in Nigeria and indeed expected him to be the next Ngolo Nkante. But he struggled in the Championship and was largely anonymous. Meanwhile Ovie, Eze and Adarabioyo have been outstanding this season. As was Tega, Aina, Tomori in seasons past where are they now, top of the game. I would absolutely say it's easier for young players to get opportunity in France, Holland and Belgium. That could be ascribed as better development but it's debatable. Apart from French league one the other leagues are not necessarily better than the Championship. After how many years in the lower leagues why has Bournemouth and Wolves lasted do long. The fact is that the EPL is the most competitive league in the world. |
Happy blessed Birthday to you Safarigirl. Double celebration at this time of unprecedented global pandemic. Health is definitely wealth and that is cause to celebrate with thanksgiving for another year. Stay blessed and stay safe. |
Arabiandude:Raheem was bought by Liverpool for near £2million are age 14 from QPR. He was already leading the attack at Liverpool as an 18 year old before he went to City. He has as always progressed and he progressed under Guardiola. Many a player get to big clubs and can't progress. To believe that at a time Jordan Ibe was competing with Raheem. Now Ibe is a mere shadow of past glories albeit a very well paid one. That proposition with regards to Chukwueze and Ejuke is optimistic speculation. |
solonnachi:Eze will play for Nigeria it's just a matter of time once he has sorted out his long term future. |
TheLoneCitizen:It's not as simple as that. There are many Championship teams that will pay more money and give you far more career progression than teams in the Belguim and Dutch leagues. With regards to the Eredivisie take away Ajax and most would struggle in the Championship forget about EPL. |
dragon2:From the beginning l have said this war will be won on the ground not in the air. The air approach in this kind of attrition war with a very fluid enemy moving from place to place has limited impact. You really should go an check the cost of a 500lb bomb before you jump to conclusions on comparative cost. Libya has become the theatre of a proxy war between a number of Super powers, Who are supporting the Despotic CIA trained Haftar. His supporters are Egypt, Saudi Arabia, USA, France, Russia, UAE, etc The actual UN recognised government is being supported by Turkey, Ukraine ( background) and not much else. The level of advanced weaponry in Libya is mind bogling and unprecedented in Africa. Some of the most advanced anti aircraft system have been deployed. The theatre is dominated by UAV's with Turkey dominating the scene since they arrived a few months ago. For the first time Haftar has been asking for a ceasefire. His Russian mercenaries are on the retreat and he is loosing a lot of ground. That's resulting in discord amongst the militant groups in the East of Libya. He has has refused to pay Warner Group his mercenaries from Russia. At the heart of it all is the efficacy of Turkish UAV who have dominated the Sky in Libya. The same way they pulverised the Syrian army in a matter of days in Idlib https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-17/besieged-airbase-shows-turkey-turning-the-tide-in-libya-s-war Your analogy is really lacking in merit with regards to the UAV impact delivery and sustainability. UAV give you 24 ISTAR complete over watch in areas of contention. Finally, the UAV's we procured (if still operational) have been made redundant by far better and now cheaper Wing Loong II UAV.

dragon2:Trolling you claim for discourse that I initiated. based on fact and substance. There were quite a few here who alleged l was telling LIES that the total contract sum of $600 million was not true. Below a few screen shots thst are self explanatory. I really expected you to appraise, analyse and critique my position but you have approached the discourse with contention not appreciation.

dragon2:We are loosing the core subject question, which i remind you is, "Best value and the most efficient use of resources for the greatest impact in the NE" and to be more concise, is it best value to buy 12 turboprop A29 Tucano for $600 million that will not be delivered in completion until 2024. That is the context and from which my questions and propositions emanate from. I really do not want to loose track of the core issue with pedantic and inconsequential semantics. The A29 is a single engine turboprop whether it is simple or complicated does it really matter We could go right back in aviation history to the transfer of technology with Short Brothers Belfast and Embraer that birthed the MK1 Tucano military training aircraft. That developed later into theT-27 Brazilian AF designation i.e. 312 and then AT-27 (314) or if you like A-29. The basic trainer was developed, retrofitted, remodeled, redesigned, adapted. Again its not important , it has evolved into the A29. The EMB-314 Super Tucano is an enhanced version, with faster speed and higher altitude, of the EMB-312 Tucano trainer aircraft which is operational in the air forces of 17 countries. https://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/emb-312-tucano-trainer-aircraft/ This training and tactical-support twin-jet tandem two-seater was designed for a program jointly run by France’s and Germany’s air forces. The Alpha jet was birthed as a trainer by the French and Germans. When you create an aircraft to train pilots on multiple tasks including ground attack and CAS , it really does not take much to change its role to become a dedicated ground attack fighter. a French training version, as simple as possible ; a German close air support and battlefield reconnaissance version, with the extra cost being borne by the German government. https://www.dassault-aviation.com/en/passion/aircraft/military-dassault-aircraft/alpha-jet/ The PC-21 Is probably one of the most expensive and advanced turboprop aircraft if it can simulate it it can also do it , IMO with adaptations and modifications. That is the pertinent observation in the context of cost. I did mention that the PC-9 has been inducted into the USAF light attack turboprop aircraft experiment, that is what they call it for now.. However, there comparable and would bet much cheaper alternatives like the Turkish Hurkus-C attack aircraft. |
andrewbaba44:People act like age falsification is not part of daily life in Nigeria. It's not just football but in ever facet of life, there are guys who unknowingly married women older than themselves. Using school as a yard stick is indicative but not necessarily conclusive. First of all Dude failed a MRI scan in 2013, l had many a heated discussion with people here years ago on this subject. I explained that it is possible for a 21/22 year old to pass the MRI. Why because bone fusion occurrence has s number differentiald by race , environment, nutrition, health factors, etc. Teenage boys in the West are already taking synthetic protein supplements to enhance performance e.g. cretin, etc As a result a 17 year old elite athlete (football) could have fused distal radius at that early age. As consequence he could be considered an age cheat. However, because thier is automatic data capture at birth this is not a problem. Now consider Nigeria good nutrition, environment, quality health care are directly related to economic status. You could even argue it also affects educational access and progress. A 17 year old boy from an under privileged background in Nigeria. Will most likely have been malnourished, poor medical access, multiple environmental factors, educational challenges, etc. As a consequence they will have stunted growth and even at 21 will not have full fusion in the distal radius. And will pass as under 17 year old. Now when someone from that kind of background fails the MRI test, which is 100% accurate in determining bone fusion. What do you say ❓ Oh anybody can fail the test. What's the likelihood hood of a person with multifaceted socio- economic challenges finishing high school at 15 as some have claimed. There are many kids who finished high school way above 19+. These are very common probables in the context of Nigeria. Add football and the quest for age cheating is a routine not the exception. |
Subzero047:Balogun will not talk like that almost certain. |
Salatavor:Agreed without reservation |
bidex111:There is historical baggage that's preventing the MOBILE police from progressing and being updated with equipment for modern policing. Mobile police should have progressed beyond AK47. When the threats level has gone way beyond that. Criminals and bandits are using GPMG and RPG7. They are outgunned and need to be upscaled to deal with current threats. |
