You are free to say what you want but you have no facts to back it up. Just made up things that has no basis.

Keshi was a man who went seven months without salary, with a dying wife but was always ready to turn out for the Super Eagles.

You can abuse him but you can not tarnish his legacy.

As we wind up 2019 let us rewind the gaffes of the year:

1) Onyekuru is more intelligent than Mahrez

2) Azubuike Okechukwu is better than Ndidi

3) Onyekuru has agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich

4)Percy Tau and Lorch will destroy Nigeria(mine) *facepalm*

Add yours

charlesemeka85:
whats up with your borough boy aneke who you have been clamouring for his inclusion in the super eagles to become the team's undisputed number 10 hahahahahahahahaha!

bobo don turn dry cleaner for charlton

darkelf:
Did you not hear NFF was owing Rohr?

Did he dash Junior Lokosa the no 9 shirt because of that? Or Sokari the no 10 shirt?

He bleeped up bro

charlesemeka85:
every coach performs better when he is blessed with the best set of players. those your football enthusiast where were they when the super eagles was turned into a laughing stock after missing out on 2 afcons?

i will never discredit rohr because of sentimental and myopic minded personalities both from the media and our football circle. why won't they be mad at rohr when he didn't give agents room to accommodate their below par players plying their trade in obscure leagues and carpenters from the local scene.

bros make we leave matter abeg because we know how corrupt we are as a nation and propaganda is one of the tools the media use in rubbishing whom so ever they are paid to destroy.

i would have been the first to castigate rohr if he hasnt achieved anything since he took over the coaching job of the super eagles but will never go against a man who have rekindled my love for the super eagles. he is not the best but those projected by the media and fans to take over from him are no where close to him tactically.

TheGoodJoe:
You people keep making this statement. Keshi wanted a big player who could play in the midfield, after going with another lightweight player in Ramon Azeez.

In the game against France, we were up against a highly physical French team. When it was time for a substitution to replace Onazi, Keshi called Ramon and I exclaimed, "No O! They will kill him on that pitch. Luckily, Mikel signalled to Keshi not to try it and then replaced Onazi with Gabriel.

So, Haruna and Ajagun would not have come in for the extra big man. It was due to strategy he brought in Ruben Gabriel to match the players at his disposal.

darkelf:
Oga, you have no point

Stop defending mediocrity. Big man or small man...Keshi was biased and corrupt

komekn:
Ruben Gabriel should never have been in that team absolutely no justification. However, we know who is agent was and his relationship with the NFF.

OMANBALA1:
You subtly lobby to keep the post when you envision a bright future and you do this with your body language/non verbal cues. Rohr is not necessarily after money like some shortsighted and visionless African coaches who have no interest in living a legacy but want quick money to stuff their pockets. Unlike Africans who eat while the pot is still on the fire white people think about future. He want to make history as the white man who was the first coach to lead an African team to world cup glory....common, brother you are brighter than this. That man want to steal the sweat of our indigenous coaches.

Humility017:
please add "very" to your biased and corrupt.

Dude was the abacha of the super eagles team then....
he even gave a non-league player the famous and iconic no. 10 Jersey and was foistering on us a Swiss division 2 player...

Humility017:
very...he married a southern African (Angola to be precise)
he is a coach that is deviod of racism, just like klop and he gets so personal with his players when necessary...
Bennie Macarthy once talked on why many of his players don't mind die for him on the pitch....that he will ask questions and show care towards your personal life...ask about about your family and all something most coaches dont do

OMANBALA1:
You may have missed my point. I am saying that the current set of players Rohr is working with are some of best talents in Africa and even across the world to stretch it. We agree on that but I want us all to understand and agree that the success of this very set is not in anyway rested on the tactical abilities of Rohr. He inherited those players from our "corrupt" Nigerian coaches. Keshi , Siasia , Eguavon didnt have these sort of talents,when they coached the Eagles....you know ,like Pep struggling to win matches at the Champions League without his Barcelona special talents...lol. In essence, Rohr was simply lucky-in the right place at the right time. He is not a genius! However, I think he knows how to manage players attitudes and behaviors.

I Still Get N5m Monthly Pension As England’s Ex-player –John Fashanu
The shy-looking Fashanu, who talked about how hard it was to convince players of Nigerian descent to dump their adopted countries to play for the Super Eagles without attractive welfare packages, backed his claim with the challenges some Nigerian football legends have been facing even after their sacrifices for the country.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKNOV 23, 2019

John Fashanu


Nigerian-born former England international footballer, John Fashanu, has disclosed that he still gets a monthly pension of N5m as an ex-player for his adopted country.

The shy-looking Fashanu, who talked about how hard it was to convince players of Nigerian descent to dump their adopted countries to play for the Super Eagles without attractive welfare packages, backed his claim with the challenges some Nigerian football legends have been facing even after their sacrifices for the country.

Fashanu told Daily Trust, “Till today, I still get my benefits, my pensions. I get N5m monthly as pensions for being an ex-footballer in England and I am now in my 50s.

“Tammy Abraham knows why he hasn’t played for the Super Eagles and it’s because there is more financial benefits playing for England, there is more glory and less wahala. Why do we ask the boy to play for Nigeria and torture him?

"We need to step up. Tammy is a massive miss for Nigeria. Nobody went to London to talk to him and explain to him the benefits of playing for his motherland.

“And when you hear what happened to Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha, did anybody come out to defend him over his tax bills, did anybody come out to defend Kanu when he had issues with his hotel?”

Humility017:
they're all indigenous coaches nah
corruption wrap them wella.
God forbid folks that can mortage their future ambition for few dollar notes...

even that one who just left Tanzania...I believe is patiently waiting to take over the super eagles and continue from where Keshi stopped....

Indigenous coaches and corruption.... are inseparable

Joebie:
We are talking player management and player invitation, not tactical ability or scouting. Many of our coaches will not be able to manage the ego of some of our players, which is why they resort to players that will be LOYAL to them - often times players that know they do not deserve a place in the team.

komekn:
Ruben Gabriel should never have been in that team absolutely no justification. However, we know who is agent was and his relationship with the NFF.

charlesemeka85:
and give keshi the talents rohr have in his possession currently he will abandon them for gambo mohammed and other folks from kano pillars,nasarawa unted and co

Eartquake1:
Rohr haters hide behind Keshi to promote their hate, they forgot he was sacked because he failed to qualify for the Afcon

Joebie:
if na by that k Nwakali go dey bench Aribo lol

jihday:
We actually went to confed cup with Gambo and left Martins, Uche and Osaze at home

Joebie:
mahrez should be the apoty 2019

andrewbaba44:
Bros forget afcon, didnt mane won the champions league?

He was the best player in liverpool team, better than salah

Yaya will always win it ahead of mikel so make we commot that one, yaya is too prolific for a midfielder

OMANBALA1:
So, Rohr is the first coach to introduce transparency to Super Eagles? Has the phantom transparency helped him to win any trophy ? The answer is no. Until you proved how this audio transparency has helped Nigeria to win trophies I suggest you save me the noise. If your reformation is not bringing any positive change what is the essence of it.

I am pretty much done with this topic because apparent you lot have no proof of your claims just typical Nigerian noisemakers! You cant defend your position , Nigga! So far , Rohr has failed with the best set of talent since '94 and '98 squad !

TheGoodJoe:
Keshi played with big strong strikers because he relied a lot on long balls. So Martins did not fit into the system. That was why when he tried Martins, he flopped.

Osaze when he got the chance refused to play to instructions. Uche also Blatantly told Keshi that he would not play the way Keshi wanted. There was no way Keshi was going to deal with their ego. Imagine Osimhen telling Rohr he will not play the way Rohr wants...

na rugby world cup we play?

charlesemeka85:
Cameroon and Ghana wey get triple H and John Cena for pitch I don see how them take reach finals for 2014 world

jihday:
Same Osaze that he eventually took to the world cup? Emenike and Martins are same size

OMANBALA1:
What about your grandfather, High Chief Onigbinde

TheGoodJoe:
Emenike is far big in stature. Martins does not play by receiving long balls, something Emenike did repeatedly under Keshi.

Osaze apologised before Keshi took him but still went on to play off the team tactics.
