United is my beloved, but i do detach emotion teytey....

.....habibi! The season is gone for good. Watch remaining matches with relaxed mind. We will revisit ZeroHag after the season.

If SJR gonna be successful at United, we will know soon.

afrodoc2:
Something we have been saying for years here and people will say just sack the coach and everything will be alright. I am sure some of those people are the ones now quoting Ronaldo up and down like Reuters journalists.

We all know what we are doing. 😀

.......................Mi o ni sọ ń kánkán. LOL!

Englishisamust:
This man is also disrespecting the club. Ronaldo was right after all.. .
This is the level of unseriousness that have taken over this team.

Anytime we complain that the Structures are faulty, some Dudes would shush us. LOL!

If we can easily throw our major league under double-decker bus and still justifying it cos our Fave ain't picked for a local job, then there is really fire on the mountain.

U17 WC is bigger than NPFL.....?! LMFAO!

Bí Ọmọdé ó bá tan, a bá arọba, arọba sì ni Baba ìtàn. Ask for an Interpreter to know how we got the updates. LOL!

Dangote's Worth is $14B, yet he built a Refinery worth $20B. LOL!

Larride, stop wasting your energy and time explaining to that Níggà, he ain't still gonna gerrit. Tell him to go and read about PIDF, HDMI and ECP+F Models.

FG ain't abandoning any Road. Umahi is moving round the Regions to ensure Contractors are doing their jobs.

He recently suspended some Contractor(s) for doing shabby jobs. He paid JB and one of other Contractor additional ₦20B to finish up their respective Projects.

Dem no dey gather news pass their yeye WhatsApp Groups. LOL!

raumdeuter:
When they finish the road many will refuse to use it

I remember the days when on the Lagos bridge it's one day Odd number vehicles next day even number plates vehicles allowed

Many people called it a waste of money when there are other pressing needs
Now the money spent on 3rd mainland have created 10 times in economic activity

But no we shouldn't build new ones by the same people who 2 yrs ago were lamenting why Nigeria does not have such road

....imagine Lagos without 3MB. Lekki and VI are what they are today, thanks to the Bridge. Most are earning their daily breads on the Island, thanks to the Bridge. LOL!

larride:
The truth is that you are just like this people.

The only reason you guys are now against the project is because its Tinubu that's doing it. Nothing more, nothing else.

If you think I'll spend my time telling you the opportunities of opening up 7 states with a coastal route, think it again.

We all know what we are doing.

Still on Finidi George

I have been seeing all these funny comments; “He will be controlled by the NFF.”

Finidi didn't lobby for this job. He didn't call anyone or beg people to give him the job, he applied just like many other coaches. Even after the last friendly games, he didn't engage the NFF, he went back to his job at Enyimba.

The majority of you people don’t know Finidi. Ask about him in Enyimba and the management will tell you. Also, because he is calm and he doesn't do PR stunts.

You all don’t even know, Finidi will only do things that satisfy his conscience and professionalism.

He’s one of the few ex-players without baggage and controversy.

People should also stop the blackmail of the NFF, the coaches get free hands to work, and they make their decisions and all.

There are other issues with the NFF to discuss, controlling a coach is not even their priority.

It's unfair to sit in your room and conclude Finidi is a Yes Man when you know nothing about the man and his personality.

Finidi is not a broke ex-player, he invested properly when he was playing.

Thank You once again. Finidi is the man QED.

TheGoodJoe:
You guys like changing topics to avoid the truth. I said the lies of Finidi being a better choice and also an honest man should stop selling. It was a case of picking the less qualified person with no reason why he was the preferred choice.

Now you are jumping to Keshi.

Uncle no vex, just help clarify if late Keshi got UEFA Pro or not. LOL!

mostob:
A coach can have UEFA Msc license and still underperform. And there is another coach without a coaching license that will give you result. All these yapping about Finidi not qualifying is just funny.

Their fave almost sent one African club to relegation. The management had to send him home.

Ask uncle Joe what License late Keshi got. LOL!
Their favourite has no success to point at in his managerial career so far.

We ain't talking of coaching boys to win a trophy ought to be named after our Golden Eaglets.

TheGoodJoe:

Amunike has CAF A license, Finidi doesn't.

You just dey dash Amunike every available License. LOL!

mostob:
If he has not gotten it, no way he will be appointed our coach now. Or NT coaches are immune to this rule?

....I don't even understand essence of UEFA Pro nonsense. He is here to coach an Africa National Team for God's sake! What he needs the most is CAF badges A or B.

TheGoodJoe:
Finidi is not that good and he got the job. That lies the answer and why people found it puzzling. Amunike needs to get qualifications, till UEFA Pro Coaching License in 2013. Then got a UEFA Masters Coaching License. Worked at Assistant in U17 and did well. Coached the U17, despite sabotage, did well. Coached the U20. Assisted in Super Eagles, coached in the local league. Coached Tanzania, qualified them. Has some stints in other African countries.

But no, he must do more but you are all happy that Finidi got the job by just coaching the Npfl and assist in Super Eagles.

Please.

Nah...Finidi has proved to be good. He won the league last season and still in contention to win it again.

If Amunike is really that good, he shouldn't be begging for Jobs, rather Jobs should be begging for him.

typicalgamer:
He doesn’t even need the course o for Christ sake

You are right bro, Rohr, JPes, Oliseh with their Pro Badges didn't win us anything meaningful.

TheGoodJoe:
He doesn't it. Yet got the Super Eagles job.

Finito.

Late Keshi, of blessed memory, didn't have UEFA Pro yet he made us proud.

Danielnino00:
Calm down to dey read post... my post was directed at Komekn who is a known hater of Nigerian born players... if Finidi decides to give some NPFL players a chance and we start seeing some names like Tiaminu, folks like komekn will say its the NFF handwork

Apologies bro.

TheGoodJoe:
No report on that. That is the point.

I agree no report on that, but it doesn't mean he has not got it.

TheGoodJoe:
Why CAF refused Finidi, assistant to sit on bench in both matches — CAF Security Head

The People’s Elephant crashed out of the competition 4-3 on aggregate to Libya’s Al-Ahly Benghazi without their two coaches on the sidelines.

Emeruwa, who’s also a FIFA Security Officer, explained that Finidi and his Assistant do not have the required licences to sit on the bench in both fixtures despite both coaches possessing a UEFA A and UEFA C licences respectively.

“CAF intention is to raise the standard of coaching education in Africa, this is why to be on the bench for CL you either have a CAF A License or UEFA Pro license. Or other sister Confederation Pro licence while the assistants are to have a minimum of CAF B which unfortunately Finidi and his assistants do not have in this case.”

August 29, 2023

That is August last year. Missed the month but you get the point.

....this was last year nah. How are you sure he has not completed the course by now.

TheGoodJoe:

I am yet to see that record. I have only seen where Finidi, last December was told not to have a seat in the docks because he did not have a UEFA Pro Coaching License.


Finito.

Can you show us link to this update sir?!

Amunike is never better than Finidi tactically. Nothing ever proves Amunike has what it takes to coach/manage Eagles successfully.

Late Keshi proved himself before Eagles job. He qualified Togo for their ever World Cup not even second appearance in the AFCON as Amunike very luckily did with Tanzania.

He managed Mali and took them to AFCON 2010. He earned his appointment as Eagles Coach, not through bullying, protest, unnecessary PRs like someone did, yet fail to get the job.

Finidi coached Men to win a League, Amunike shouldn't shy away from getting a job in the NPFL. Show us you are indeed drenched in tiki-taka pool week in week out like we are being forced, emotionally blackmailed to believe here.

His supporters should get him a job in Nigeria or outside the country, so they can look us in the faces and say; we told you so.

It was on record that Finidi did have UEFA Pro. BTW, what should be more important is CAF coaching Badge not UEFA.

Nigeria is a country in Africa not Europe. LOL!

ChrisKels:
He is a fan of Nwakali

....if Finidi is a fan of Nwakali, I guess anti-finidi camp should be happy nah.

Finidi George is right man for the Job and he is gonna succeed. JPes was written before last AFCON began on this board, yet he guided the team to final but lost to a host nation.

Finidi is being written off by some on this board, but I see positivity cos it means he is gonna be successful.

Danielnino00:
As an NPFL coach, Finidi might feel the need to invite players from the league.. possibly, he might be pressured to... I wonder what Komekn will say about that

....and is anything wrong with inviting best talent in the league?! Today we are comfortable with Nwabali in goal than Uzoho.

Local players played vital role last time we won AFCON. Defence and Midfield were made ticking by so called local players.

Cecco90:
The only sin of Finidi George is accepting to come down to Nigeria and coach Enyimba, and also winning the NPFL title. When we all know one of the most difficult jobs in Africa is coaching and accepting NPFL jobs.

Finidi should have stayed back in Europe and continued working with the Youth teams/players. Then from Europe, he will package himself as the best thing after bread and butter and hustle for National team jobs through his friends in the NFF and Ministry of Sports.

When a coach gets to the highest level of the NPFL, coaching the most successful club in the NPFL, winning the League title in his second season, still in the contest to retain the League title in his third season, worked with a head coach of the Super Eagles for 20+ months, are we saying such human doesn't deserve a chance to coach the Super Eagles?

Is it because he is coaching in the NPFL and he refused to wait in Europe for the National team's jobs? The same attitude anytime we mention quality players in the NPFL and when these talents get the breakthrough to Europe/Abroad, the media and fans will be all over them.

To grow the NPFL/Nigerian Football ecosystem (via coaching and talent discovery), we need more of Finidi to take the job in the NPFL and all levels of our League Football. What is the essence of your playing career and coaching certification when hundreds of people queue for a National team job with limited spots?

Tell your favourite to get back to coaching. Super Eagles' job is just one, there are hundreds of jobs out there.

In short Amuneke na “oge m eruo la” the igbo translation of “Emilokan” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

......we dey too quick forget. This was how Oliseh is hyped as African Pep on this same board. It ends in tears. LOL!

charlesemeka85:
this one wey u dey talk concern u 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like wetin. They said Finidi doesn't get UEFA Pro, we dropped Link, they said na Lie. Where is the Link that proved Amuneke gets Pro and Masters?!

They said Amuneke is drenched in the pool of tiki-taka, same as Finidi cos he was made in Ajax. As a player, Finidi is far more successful than Amuneke. He is a UCL Winner and also won other Trophies that Amuneke didn't even smell as a Player.

As a youth Coach, he managed a spanish U19 Club [not even U17] for 5 years. Guess what?! Spain is home of tiki-taka. As a Men Coach he has won a League, as in a League for God's sake!

He is technically a foreigner too, coz he is also a spanish. LOL!

How is this a success at Tanzania for God's sake! El Makkasa knew they've made terrible mistake after just 3 matches, hence FIRED him. LOL!
