I agree with you.

But do you remember that it was Wenger that started selling off all his quality and experienced players in favour of the youth team and unproven entities from france.

He started to think that he coyld build just any player into a great player, forgetting that to become a great playet you have to be very good in the first place.

As for Man U, the team has been average since last 3 years of Ferguson reign. Players like Jones and Smalling could never step into the void left behind by Vidic and Ferdinand.

As for Guardiola...i cant bring myself to concieve of him as a great coach. I just cant.

You my friend are a wise man. If you never grow white hair, blame your village native doctor.

Oga. Just admit Wengers time is past. He is in the league of the Van Gaal's, the Juup Heynkes, and the Guus Hiddink's of this world. They can no longer be relied upon to deliver trophies to the top clubs in the top leagues and that is the yardstick these days in determining who is a quality, world.class coach. The next generation is here. The likes of Guardiola, Zidane and Conte have set the bar so high that even hitherto middle (football coaching) aged gaffers such as Emery, Ancelotti and the Juventus coach are struggling to keep up thoughtless of the old cargoes.

And it is the success of the youthful coaches that has enriced some of the biggest clubs to throw caution into the wind and appoint practically untested youngsters into their management teams albeit with mixed to disappointing results, talking of Bayern Munich, Monaco and AC Milan.

Those legends you mentioned have paid their dues to the beautiful game and should just hang whatever it is that coaches hang. If na hand, pen the head ball/s whatever let there just be a hanging.

obentenyson:
he is still a good coach.. it's not easy using a bunch of average lunatics to contend for the title... unlike some people who are always looking for big name players to buy and still cant play Jack.. let mourinho and gourdiola come n manage this average looking arsenal players and see if any of them will make the top 4... give Wenger mancity and see if they won't go unbeaten through out the season..

Chai chai this is not good na...

bro what else do you want? This is already turning into a cursed word session I know you all enjoy these days on the internet and I don't. If all want is to win the argument then by all mean I proclaim you the winner or proclaim yourself. You cannot however force me to accept the whole pile of horse shit you put up there. Which useless academy tradition Manu get sef? when last did Manu produce any top academy players even under sir Alex? where jesse lingard rashford getting as much playing time? Bros you sef funny. Stop think a little and ask yourself. If you're a coach and you are winning, you have all the bragging right, you can raise your shoulder, quit and you would not be short of people who want to recruit you. Is that when you would allow anybody tell you anything? Just imagine Man city's board now trying to force pep to play certain players, when can easily get annoyed and threaten to leave. The same plays out in top companies around the world. Once the executives are doing well and making money, they are left alone to do their thing once they are not then they start to behave like they can run the business themselves. If you want to change the narrative to fit your own world view by all mean do. Call me a small boy won't change anything. You have already dragged this argument out of context sef. bye bye

Why can't you think straight and logical for once "you proclaim me winner yet cant see the facts presented and persist in arguing about it"? Are you blind to where i said its not about winner or loser with me? Na you to tell Manu board their tradition abi na them to tell you? I asked you simple questions but its clear beating about and accusing me of what you are doing is the way your brain works to run from facts. The fact remains that in modern football, board interference is not black and white nor only about or ends at money and trophy. Different boards urge, nudge and if possible coarse coaches to do certain things differently outside the limits of only money and trophies. If that is beyond you then just borrow the sense am lending you here.

How could i easily deduce you are a small boy if not for how simplistic, naïve and out of touch and even undirectional your reasoning is?

Geist:
Oga I have heard. You are more knowledgeable and well versed than I am. The fact that you would compare a club board with football federation or the Nigerian football fedration already speaks to the wealth of knowledge of knowledge. NFF that even Buhari can tell them to sack and unsack coach. Abeg I gree

It is similar approach of the board towards a coach am talking about not relationship with presidiency. A board when the team is in mess gives a coach, especially new one free hand to just do his thing, but immediately the winning ensues, they demand more than just winning nudging the coach to do more of this or that yet sacks the coach if the team stops winning in his bid to adapt to the boards new demands. You must be a teenager or something if this is too hard for you to understand. Why do you think its unlikely for FC Barca to make Mourinho their coach unless maybe they are in serious mess of long term trophy drought even if he wins extra 3 ECL? Let me help you with the answer to this one before your brain goes into mental gymnastics and shagallo on that - Not the two options you limits the board's concern to (money making nor lack of potential to win trophies) but because his style of football does not concur with theirs not minding his trophy-winning capability
Mourinho being wiser after his debacle with Chelsea board and knowing this got himself a very fat pay-off if Manu sacks him knowing fully well he be liable to be sacked since the he knows the small boys the board wants him to work with can't do jack.

Don't just say you've won because my aim is not to win or lose but to help you understand football realities instead answer the questions I asked rather than resorting to reading history, unrelated sarcasm and misrepresentative innuendos.
You want ManU to be like Zidane's Madrid or Conte's Chelsea with a Rashford and Mctominay in the starting 11. Are you high on piss? You see their mate and level for those big teams?
In contemporary times, unproven academy players dont do enough consistency to win big trophies such as EPL and ECL only FA cups and big players are costly if thats beyond your observation scope or brain processing power even when its glaringly pointed out then stop talking football with senior men of the beautiful and just stick to watching from the back of the the big screen.

There's only two things any board cares about and that's winning trophies and making money. Any other thing they may seem to care about are always linked to those two I mentioned and this is because a clubs success are measured by how many trophies and how much they make. Since sir Alex departure, the board has spent crazy amount of money. From di Maria to pogba. Racking up wage bills. I remember the crazy wage offered to Luke Shaw which Chelsea even refused to pay but Manu because they wanted to overall the team then agreed to it. Luke Shaw by the way was a Chelsea fan and only choose Manu ahead of Chelsea because of the money. Chelsea later went for azpilicueta. Lukakus case was also similar. This board has been spending like crazy with no results on the coaches end. The acquisition of Sanchez is another example of how the board is spending money on crazy wage bills on players they don't need who are even under performing. If you are in that board and people are asking you for more money to buy foreign players won't you tell the coach to go and look into the academy? I repeat non of the board members give a Bleep who is playing. Some are not even football fanatics like us. So as long as the team is winning they will always support the coach. An example of this is with Chelsea under anthonio Conte. Even though the board has been shouting about how they want an attractive brand of football they still wen ahead and supported Conte with his defensive brand of football. Bought 3 or 4 defensive midfielders just because he carried the premier league but the time he lost that winning touch they sacked him. Loaned out bakayoko. Danny drinkwater will be the next to leave soon. So you see not all his as clear as black and white. Me I don't see the spending that Manu want to do again to improve this team. They have been spending since. Go and check wage bill of all the Chelsea players and compare them with Manu. You will be shocked. Manu is gradually turning to Chelsea of old that will buy a player for excessive amount and the player will not do anything. Just look at how depay is now playing for Lyon but was crap with Manu. I rest my case bros

What you are saying is way too black and white and out of touch with reality to be anywhere near the truth. Likely you are speaking from your young naïve sense of elderado. Local NFF which gave Rohr free hand before are now talking about him inviting more local league players after he seems to be doing just fine yet if things happen to go wrong as he tries to adapt to their new demands, thesame board will sack him. Humans in nature want and demand for more. Boards look into more things than just money and trophy. They are very much interested in style of play, club tradition, fans satisfaction etc.

Which big team in contemporary times are doing well based on academy players? Because other coaches spent money and didn't get it right does not mean spending big to land big players is wrong or does not work neither does it mean that Mourinho will fail after spending big like the others nor that not spending but relying on academy players will work.

Depay and others may be more psychologically fitter for a smaller club first before transiting to bigger ones.
I asked you lots of questions which will help you understand but you prefer to beat around. Answer those questions and learn. How many players of Rashfords level are regualer starters in Chelsea now or LFc, Zidanes madrid, Mancity that you want Mourinho to mimic? Manu now is more like Arsenal of old with small small boys who win today lose tomorrow and couldn't win any trophy beyond FA cup..

One of the reasons Oyedepo is a role model to me is he has a way of identifying things and replicating it.
His thought process can be summarised into this "if that man can do this to get that result then i can copy what he did and get his results". Case study: his replication of Yongi Cho's 1 million congregation operations. The resemblance between Covenant and ORU is beyond normal, from compulsory chapel attendance to corporate dressing, the entrepreneurial drive of stanford. Till today Covenant doesn't take transfer students - even from the USA and never awards honorary degrees.

Lee kuan yew of Singapore rarely did anything new to advance Singapore. In his words we simply copied other people's template and finetuned it to our own local need. This is the same brain power behind China's rise to prominence, they identify a problem, they study solutions of others and they go after it with everything they have. Case in study: China discovered its universities where lagging behind on all fronts. The country declared the "double first class mandate" which mandated 42 of China's best university to overtake western ones. Today, for the first time Tsinghua university China has surpassed Ntl Uni of Singapore has the bestAsian institution and is coming close to Harvard and the likes while surpassing many other ivy leagues.

That JF Kennedy's visionary spirit which says "Russia sent a man to the Space then America must send a man to the moon" is very absent in Africa's leadership. And when few people try to stir the waters we tell them many reasons why they can never succeed because we are too familiar with serial failures in govt.

The average black man is way too inclined to loathe others not his tribe that are progressing than to humbly learn and copy them well. Ofcouerse he can take some mainly for selfish self-serving reasons but not enough to wholly transform the essence of his psychological spectrum. Blacks are more used to remainong slaves to culture and be an ardent follower of group thiink in his circle and only kmow what rather than to question objectively; appreciate and weigh reasons; advantages; know why, why not and how independently.

A culture of appreciation of egocentric charlatanism or servitude over righteously indignant intelligience.

from where are you getting all these information from? They are pure lies or just mere conspiracy theories with no shred of evidence. I repeat Mourinho is not the type of coach whom anybody would force to play any player. He can decide to bench pogba if he so pleases. The worst that would happen is the club would fire him and another club would snap him up. Go and look at all top coaches, they really don't have much to loose other than their ego if they decide to bench any fucking player. Loftus cheek ko, soft lips ni. and right after forcing mourinho to play him they would then sack mourinho then employ anthonio conte to loan the same loftus cheek to crystal palace abi. Abegi come up with something else.

If you dont know that management does pressure and influence coaches or just claiming so then you are way too out of touch to discuss football. They may not tell him who to bench but pressure him on who they would love to see play which inevitably means some else has to be benched. Example Manu lays emphasize that their tradition is youth development how can Mourinho achieve that. You think normal classic Mourinho will give Rashford jersy 10 and manU gave Rashford 10 jersey to sit on the bench?


Where was manu before Mourinho came that you now want to put all Manu woes on him? Why was Van sacked ? Was he such a wrong and terrible coach too? Whats the constant between Van Gaals failure then and that of Mourinho now?

Geist:
They are all good players playing badly as a team. If Alexis did not come in cheap due to his contract almost running out do you know how much he would have cost Manu? Lets talk about how much martial cost Manu. If not that his career has stagnated due to bad coaches he ought to be in the bracket of the likes of mpape what of pogba? None of those team would have a pogba and bench him. It is the same Chelsea team that played last season that is playing this season with the exception of jorginho. Football is a team sport and not an individual sport and that's one thing morinho seems to have lost. He can't seem to keep his team playing as one for more than a season. Infact I can argue that all his teams often seem to rely on exploiting the oppositions weakness rather than harnessing it's own strength. So his players always look crap.

Its the club management who always makes things hard for Mourinho. He comes into a delipidated team, they have no face to tell him sh*t since their team is akready in a mess so he does his thing his way and gets good results suddenly the club managenent remembers they are the boss, want to ride on the new found glory and starts making counterproductive demands by trying to dictate game style, starting 11 for him based on some expired team tradition, wet dreams etc for him he gets too distracted trying to appease the board soo much that the entire team implodes.

In his last season at chelsea, i remember how they were all bugging him to always start, play and turn loftus cheek into the next Paul Scholes just because he is an Englishman and just like Manu is doing with Rashford now, how they wanted barca fancy style so Mou had to play Fabregas till the teams performance plumetted. Now, no one is bugging Sari ( and even Conte then) on those issues.

Geist:
Abeg I don tire for Una argument. Maybe you want to go look at the the teams sir Alex used before he retired and compare them with what city and Chelsea had. Do you know how old rashford is? Do you know how many caps he has for both club and country? When did you start regarding mane as a quality player? I bet it was only when he started playing for klopp. Look Kevin debryne. Mourinho actually had such quality player in Chelsea but choose to sell him cheap to gladbarch and what he spent only a season there before man city bought him for more than thrice the amount Chelsea sold him. If I may ask how do you identify a top quality player?

Chelsea squad had an excess of quality players then most detected and bought by Mourinho so some decided to leave because they were not getting regular shirt. Fergie was winning more by his clout over referees than quality. Make was always a good player even before Lfc bought him I ask you questions answer them. Small boys football which the board insist Mourinho does don't work in contemporary football for big teams. Small boys make good first in small/medium teams to earn being bought by big teams not big teams dumbing down their team with inexperienced unproven learners which is what overhyped (based on being English) Rashford is. Imagine who wears no 19 jersey for united. Mourinho's first year was good until the club insisted on him always playing small boys. Imagine Herrera being benched while Rashhord sees regular shirt. That's an aberration .

Why does Mourinho bench Herrera while playing small boys? Maybe the Manu board holds the answers to that. How can Manu do well without best among them; Herrera?

Geist:
Dude you dey ask question like say you no sabi football. What do you want to use the five players for? If your question aims at questioning the quality of Manu players then I have already answered you. All four of Manu strikers are either better or and least equal to Chelsea strikers. De gea is a better goalkeeper to Kepa. To make my point clearer look at Juan Mata. Mata was in the same team harzard played for two seasons and outshines him anytime any day. Then morinho came and instead of playing Mata where he is best at, the center. He decides to move him to the right. Why? So that he play a more defensive minded midfielder. Since then we have never seen the Mata we once knew at Chelsea. Hazard his playing arguably his beat football right now why? Because of the system Sarri is playing. Before now he never had an offensive minded coach at Chelsea. Morinho was at Chelsea sold sala and debryune. Manu has arguably spent as much as man city have spent yet nothing to show for it. Morinho bought Sanchez who is not even needed in that team as far as I am concerned. Fred is yet to hit his heights, heck we are even yet to see pogba at his full potential for Manu and he his crying the board did not back him with the players he wants. I laugh my brother.

Who is a good 11 at the level or quality of Hazard and Mane apart from Sanchez? What is Manu without those players Mourinho bought?

oga put the sentiment in ur bag, the players are fantastic they just need a good coach.

So Van Gaal and Mourinho who has won two champion leagues are not good?

The scholarship must be significant going by the figures on display here. N300m to 694 students averages about N430,000.00
Now that's huge by any standard.

Yeah hence my commendation of them. Imagine If other churches emulate RCCG upto or even beyond this scale; the huge rippple effect it will have on the society. Thats the good thing about true christians, quest to make positive response when criticized unlike some others who look to kill any who criticize them. Thumbs up to RCCG and leadership on this.

CodeTemplar:
Churches have been giving scholarship to members for decades and I am surprised by your comment here.

To what scale? If the members contribute 1 billion per month and the church gives 10 people scholarship of 100k each? What is that? Has it always been significant to this level?
There is nothing wrong for a church or individual to make amends where it has hirtheto been failing and i see that in RCCG and some few others with this and other gestures and thats great. It shows a true christian nature.

Now this is a beautiful thing. A fantastic response to the criticism so far. The church showing the way in charity just like it should be. Maybe wuthout all the criticism they wouldn't have noticed where they were going wrong.
More of these from even others and the society will change for the better as people see the practical application of what they preach. Good one RCCG and may others emulate.

The problem i have with Nigerian version of feminism is its emphasize on equal rights and nothing on equal responsibilities. This is where it turns into a very selfish concept that can mess up a society.
The western societies which brought up feminism already had equal responsibilities between the gender as a culture but the African society which copied it, just like every other thing they copy rather mis/half-copied missed that part hence the society problems it will bring.
E.g what % of African women,even the working class ones, are comfortable to pay their part of the bill on a date?
What % are comfortable to initiate a relationship just like men do with their financial state cum rights knowing fully well they will bankroll/are going to be financing the relationship? When equal sense of responsibilities is the culture then equal rights become logical. You cannot be dragging equal rights without equal push for equal responsibilities. Its just selfishly asinine.

In a society where you give a man a job of 50k/M he uses it to bankroll a relationship, house, feed and marry a girl. You give a lady a job of 150k/M she remains single searching for a man who earns 350k, and not willing to bankroll the nearest available guy, to marry. While her salary given to 3 men would have led to 3 marriages already. Then you turn around to blame men for increasing number of single ladies. Is that how the people who you half-copy from run the feminism?

Look at the likes of Ini Edo, which man in similar government posts will not go out there and bankroll a relationship and marry even illiterate or semi-illiterate lady even share to side chics?
Many African ladies are too mentally underdeveloped, selfish and irresponsible to push feminism the most you can push is semi selfish version of it.

Northern Nigeria was not even under WAEC coverage in the 60's, Cambridge was in charge, and hausa language wasn't even a subject then... How desperate can people be for power??

Thesame people who clamor for one Nigeria wail the most when they see indigenes of other tribes in their midst especially if they are progressing.
