Rohr has these records for the SE

Most foreign born call ups

Youngest Nigerian team to a tournament - World cup and Afcon 2019

Only coach to assemble two YOUNG decent players for each position

Rohr is basically making sure that the SE is set for the next 10 years. But he is not winning AFCON with 35 year olds playing in obscure leagues he has done nothing to you

Danielnino00:
As per players selection, can you mention 5 players who were performing very well at club level but were ignored by Keshi during his reign??

elyte89:
At times u sound so brilliant... D next minute u sound so andrew ,guy no kill ursef o,rohr no sabi u

charlesemeka85:
Lolz I'm just appreciating the good work the man has done so far. U don't know the heart break the likes of keshi, oliseh and siasia caused me when they were coaching the team.


There re 3 teams I love so much in world football and always want the best for. There re man untd, Italian national team(cus I be italo born), and the super eagles.


Rohr is not the best for the team but we have to appreciate and admit the fact that he has given the team a new lift from when he took the job. Today super eagles is feared again in Africa and regarded among the best teams in the continent.

Do you know advises our players on switching leagues and clubs? Do you know the brain behind the recent Influx of our players to the French Ligue which is among the best in Europe?

What is the bases for your argument. Achieved far more? Are you kidding me! Far more than who? Which foundation? Let's just say he is lucky that Nigerian players plying their trade overseas are balling right now. As much as i don't support the act of taking bribes, but these foreign coaches get paid at least twice their local counterparts, woe betide him if he doesn't deliver. Do you know how many times Nigeria has claimed third place at the nations cup? Which kind foundation, was he the one that groomed those kids. How do you even lose to Madagascar? And don't even tell me he used the second team cos that's a lie. Nigeria can do better than Rohr. Since Nff does not want to pay him 1 million dollars for dismissal, we will see where he steers this ship to. Rohr has a lot to learn has a coach, the guy can be completely clueless in the heat of the moment. Abi him dey pay you for publicity ni?

edi287:
I don't like the football we play under him but Rohr has brought a bit of structure into our team.
The guy is what you call a proper manager. He can of course do better tactically but I'm greatful he's building a team for the next reasonable coach to take over from.
WE just need to look at the positives.

charlesemeka85:
Thanks brother. So many here don't see the positives you pointed out here but holds onto the negatives as references always.

All they want is barca and man City style of football but forget without a good foundation such can't be actualized.

Tactically Rohr is not the best but atleast have done well with the team right from the world cup, afcon qualifiers and both competitions proper.

When it comes to mentorship and man management the German is top notch. He have been able to build a good relationship with the players and as well advise them with regards to career progression and moves.


Many here don't know the role Rohr played in advising first omeruo to ditch the Turkish league for laliga, then followed by awaziem change of mind from remaining in turkey to moving to laliga, simons loan move to Nantes, onyekuru's move to monaco and oshimeh's move to Lille. All we do is castigated and yell in a faceless forum without knowing what is happening behind the scene.

edi287:
Yep. I've accepted sacrificing attacking football is the price we'll pay for all the good things he has brought into the side.
Of course I'll still be frustrated occasionally with the guy - but we need to give him credit when due.

Daniel James is a forward player that plays on the wing. His main attribute Blistering pace. That's not an attribute that KC has.

I have often said that because of the very physical and intense nature of the Championship. That if you can play technical based skilful football there you will find it easier to thrive in the EPL.

Many of you said I waa talking rubbish
.

How many goals did Daniel score in his entire career in the championship and how many has he now scored in the EPL. I rest my case.

And if he had an outstanding pre season why is he still on the bench or not even making the bench.

jihday:
Dwight Gayle is a lion in the championship but small upgrade to the epl the guy will turn to baby cat.

Earthquake1:
Why the rant? Rohr has groomed and provided an enabling environment for most of our youngsters to thrive in Europe

Most of the team has benefitted in one way or another from him through club connections, personal help or even career help, and many of them are under 23!

Where was the team Keshi used to win the Afcon? Vanished. Rohr is building a SE team of the next 10 years but most of you are accustomed to instant gratification so you don't see anything

charlesemeka85:
And mind you the last edition of the afcon consist of 24 teams unlike previous editions which had 16 teams. Logically Rohr's team would have made it to the finals if it was then the tournament had 16 teams

benji93:
You are not getting it. And did you just say most of the team? Careful with your choice of words, unless you have facts to back it up, please don't don't throw them around. Also don't make claims that you cannot back up. Most of the team has benefitted in one way or another from him through club connections, personal help or even career help, and many of them are under 23! The aforementioned statement is huge, you must have inside info to make such a claim. I have tried every combination of words including the keywords to source information on all those claims but to no avail. If it's what you think cos Nigerian players seem to be moving to France lately, it's perfectly reasonable, but you gotta provide facts to ascertain those claims. Otherwise i could as well ascribe that to coincidence. There was a period when a lot of Nigerians were moving to Turkey too, could we say that was cos the Nigerian team's coach then played/coached a team in Turkey previously? On the issue of building a team for 10 years, it so happens that Nigeria's most performing players currently are very young, that is not his doing-i call that lucky- maybe you should thank the youth team coaches too, for discovering them. Now let's see what he does with all that luck.

benji93:
No sorry, but this is a very weak argument, so the changing of the tournament to consist of 24 teams is the reason why he committed such a tactical blunder against madagascar? Life evolves, so evolve with it. Don't even ascribe his failure to the number of teams, please that's quite moot. If and when he wins the nations cup we can revisit the topic of "achievement", until then we will keep giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I feel he thinks he's not better than what we have presently (Iwobi) which is true, but then he should have been invited even if na backup

There is no first refusal anywhere

charlesemeka85:
Former Nigeria coach Samson Siasia has appealed to both world football governing body FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) over a life ban for bribery, while denying any wrongdoing.

Last month, FIFA banned Siasia, 52, from all football-related activities after an extensive investigation into matches that Wilson Raj Perumal attempted to manipulate for betting purposes showed he breached Article 11 (Bribery) of the 2009 edition of the FIFA code of ethics.

He told reporters at a press briefing held at the Media Center of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium that his lawyers filed the appeal to FIFA on August 27, 2019, while the other appeal was sent to the Court of Arbitration for Sports on August 29, 2019.

Siasia denied that he breached any ethics of football.

“I wish to state that I have never been and would never be a party to any form of unethical conduct or perversion in the discharge of my duties in any capacity,” he said.

“I built my career in the football industry on the foundation of hard work, integrity, consistency and God.

“In all my career, I have done nothing, but serve my country clubs to the best of my personal and professional ability, with all my strength and might, with discipline, pride and passion and an awareness that it is a privilege to be an ambassador of our great nation.

“It is my greatest hope and belief that my country also stands by and with me at a time like this.”



He added: “The entire proceedings and decision was only brought to my notice on August 16, 2019, when the news broke in the public domain and friends and family started to call.

“I was totally unaware of the proceedings until I heard about FIFA’s decision.

“While I may not be able to publicly divulge the details and specifics, I think it fit to inform you that I have appealed against FIFA’s decision and you all will probably hear the results like you heard about the ban.

“I am currently taking legal advice. My lawyer Mr Austin Otah has been liaising with the NFF and their counsel.”

The former Nigeria coach admitted it has been a most difficult time for him.

“I must state that this is the most trying period of my life,” he said.

“I am still dealing with the pain and challenges of my mother being kidnapped again and fighting to secure her release.

“I urge the nation to support me with prayers, goodwill and support of all kinds. The demands are very heavy.”

His lawyer, Austin Otah, confirmed submissions of the appeals to both FIFA and CAS.

“We have actually assisted Mr Samson Siasia to file his appeal and we are awaiting FIFA to acknowledge the receipt of the appeal. We are awaiting feedback from FIFA and CAS,” he said.

“The decision of FIFA requires Mr Siasia to appeal to the CAS. We are exploring an internal appeal mechanism, exceptionally with the Appeal Committee of FIFA.

“But that notwithstanding we are still to ensure that his appeal rights are not impeded in anyway.”

He is still deny it....
he should better say the truth...if he is a match fixer or not.
as simple as ABC

kennysville:
A player that doesnt get game time doesnt get to show what he can do and so it does have everything to do with the 50m buy back clause. If you ask me, Iheanacho's career is a business transaction. Plain and simple. Even though he gonna be smiling to the bank, he aint gonna get the chance to show what he can do. I am just hoping this contract ends soon enough.
Its time people advised our young players to steer clear big clubs so they dont end up in problems

charlesemeka85:
What re you ascribing to failure? A team that haven't qualified for the afcon since 2013, made it to the tournament and finished 3rd is that what you call failure?

Your logic is based on past glory but you refuse to accept the fact that football have evolved and the super eagles was in dismay before Rohr took charge.

This is the same mentality that made your likes believe the team will win the last world cup without putting into consideration that the team is under rebuilding which takes time to perfect.

We are no longer in the Era of the 90s and 2000s when we bossed African football. Time have changed

benji93:
You don't get it either, my argument was geared against his claim that rohr has achieved more than all the local coaches we have had. Yes that was his claim , i quote

"He has achieved far more

He has laid a foundation for years to come"

My bone of contention is mostly with the first statement, so please if you do not understand the crux of my argument, you should ask. What is the summit of achievement in football, isn't it winning? That is yet to happen. I repeat again as the other guy quoted "He has not achieved what some of our most successful local coaches have not achieved" A lot of our local coaches may have failed, but some of them have achieved what he has not, so you gotta understand my argument before you make a counterclaim. What is the logic in making a counterclaim to an argument you don't understand.
