I see this case of poch as that of klopp. Klopp in Dortmund almost relegated them even after over achieving with the team the previous years. Same as poch now. At Dortmund, he(klopp) has only Bayern to contend with for the title, in England, poch have at least, 2-3 teams to contend with for the title (varying strength in leagues). When klopp almost relegated Dortmund, I'm sure you would still be one of those against his appointment then when he was available, but look at klopp now. Because of a bad season, and maybe players no longer in tune with his tactics again (same as klopp final season in Dortmund), maybe the reason for his struggle, that doesn't negate the fact that if he comes to man u, he would struggle here too. I mean, you guys have the structure and finance for poch to succeed here. I won't write poch off and I'll advice you not to also.
Another case is Leicester (Brendan Rodgers), but I won't go there.
Klopp's last season at Dortmund vibes. He's taken them as far as he can on a small net spend. I think he'll be a big success at his next club, but Spurs won't make top 4 this season.

You have proven nada Bruh! Taking a Team to UCL Final is worth popping up Champagne I guess?! Let's United hire Avran Grant then.

Five Years with no Title - even Carabao Cup, yet you are telling me he's better than Average?!
Please poch is not average. A manager who has proven he can build a team, work with youngsters and improve players plus an astute tactician. Please let's not use "he hasn't won a trophy" against him.

WIth 5 Pounds in his account, how has he been feeding himself since?
Many internationals have gone broke despite not being Nigerians. The likes of David James,Ronaldinho,risse, Carlton Cole (This one is a real shame on your pick England and get rich nonsense),Gascoigne etc. So stop yelling yekini like he is the first player in the world to be broke. Your Cole who picked England still ended up broke.

This a loophole in law rich people tend to explore to avoid a lot of things especially in terms of legal cases.

He's simply telling the court hes broke so as not to pay the fine.Hes probably looking for out of court settlement to pay a way lesser fine than what is imposed. He's not stupid to pay 2 million for something he could pay 200k in an off the court settlement
All this is you just trying to speculate because you are finding it difficult to come to the grasp that a player like Ronaldinho could go broke. I said he was broke and brought the source anyhow you try to spin it is on you or anyone else.

Facts have been presented arguing otherwise yet you are still shouting broke like a market woman....na wah.
what facts? Don't be stupid. Fact is Ronaldinho is stuck at Brazil with his passport seized because he is in debt and owes 2million to the government with poverty stricken balance in his bank account. Any other explanation is not proven or backed up with anything

If I owe you 50k and I claim I don't have 50k, you either find some other way to get your money back or take me to the authorities.

He will probably appeal and stall that case until they settle out of court. I think the 24.6 Real in the account is a gimmick.
I will still drop this here. Ronaldinho’s international passport was seized by Brazilian authorities until he can liquidate his humongous debt. This action
was taken after it was discovered the football legend has close to nothing in his bank account. Ronaldinho is stuck in Brazil for the
foreseeable future because he’s broke. He had an international obligations with barca yet he couldn't Leave Brazil. It had to be canceled

LMAO and you believe all Ronaldinho has is 5Pounds? I can even pay him over that just to take a picture with me

If Ronaldinho enters any city in US or Europe and charges $5 to take a picture with fans he will leave that place with nothing less than $10k

Not to talk of businesses that will pay millions
I am still waiting for you to tell us what happened to the England internationals David James and Cole lol. Ronaldinho is broke end of discussion.

Don't really think Ronaldinho is broke. He's just following the first lesson of financial management—keep you key assets in non-liquid form.

It's better to have a condo in Pescara worth $20M than to keep that same $20M in an account that can be frozen at the whim of government officials.
See he was fined 2.6million in a legal case and couldn't pay up. The judge had to give an order for his account to be checked and only £5 was seen. Ronaldinho’s international passport was seized by Brazilian authorities until he can liquidate his humongous debt. This action was taken after it was discovered the football legend has close to nothing in his bank account. Ronaldinho is stuck in Brazil for the foreseeable future because he’s broke.

How did Ronaldinho go broke with over 57 houses he can still point to sell?



Between 80 to 100M as at last year April is Ronaldinho broke. Yekini broke is raising $700 for mom to survive

Today Ronaldinho can still market any product to his 85M followers and get commision, How much product can Yekini market to help his mother
An extract
Having so far defaulted on the payments and proving difficult to track down, the 38-year-old and his
brother were taken to court again, and the public prosecutor said that an investigation into their bank
accounts revealed a balance of just 24.63 Brazilian Real (£5).

Ronaldinho is broke. Don't twist any lie here.

What you call broke for Ronaldinho is balling for his Nigerians counterparts. Ronaldinho is still enjoying endorsement and doing adverts till date



The bold is what is called Ronaldinho broke, Mom raising N250k(less than $1k) from Nairaland to survive is what is called Yekini broke
Ronaldinho went broke same with Carlton Cole,David James and Paul Gascoigne. Those are not Nigeria players. So why were you going on and on about yekini like he is the first player to go broke

So if he chose Croatia, his club career will be better or will croatia pick a player with horrible form just because he is named Bojan?

Why is Nigeria not picking every footballer in division 2 to come play.
You didn't answer the question and what does Croatia has to do with bojan?

You need to have talent and ability first, Or why are ibime and nihilist not an English internationals

Have ability
Play for top clubs regularly
Then pledge allegiance to a top Nation

If you fail the first 2, then look for a mediocre nation like Nigeria where you can use mediocre skills to enter NT
Bojan was hailed as the next messi and was playing for barca. He pledged allegiance to Spain can you tell us how his international career went?

Was Carlton Cole ever good enough? If he wasn't English he might not even be a pro footballer to even make money to start with

I see many people with the level of Carlton Cole and Danny Ings skills in National stadium and have never been able to afford 3 square meals
So why go on and on about yekini when even those who choose England still ended up in the same condition?

So now you want to take the players ability as a yardstick. Didn't you say all you need to do is become an England international and you will play for big clubs,make money and never get broke unlike choosing Nigeria. So tell us what happened to Carlton and David James a proper England international who went broke.

What is your opinion about the case of Jordan ibe and Nedum Onuoha. We called onuoha and he rejected saying he was waiting for England call up, that was in 2007 and up till now he is still waiting. Ibe rejected Nigeria and he is still in the same limbo as onuoha.
You forgot Carlton Cole who rejected Nigeria invitation thinking he will make the England squad for the World Cup. He ended up watching it on TV. Now he is bankrupt and broke. But it's only yekini dayo will see.

Do you think David Alaba would have been better choosing Nigeria? Because of Alaba, Bayern has new set of fans in Austria with higher purchasing power who can buy Alaba merchandize, because of Alaba, Bayern can go for preseason in Austria and make more money like Son Heung Min for Spurs and Leverkusen in Korea
As a result, Alaba will get about a 50K bump in salary per week. Get more quality endorsements(Not Viju milk) in Austria by being 6 time Austrian footballer of the year and 2 time sportsman of the year

Assuming Alaba had chosen Nigeria what would it have been to him and the value to Bayern to pay him that extra per week
So Abraham choosing England what pool of marketability will it give to Chelsea?

Players that played top level, you are saying better offer.

ABI you dey rate Nigeria same with England?

You fail with that example. Try another.

If you want to use their examples based on loyalty, they all played for clubs that you can boldly say you played for and were passionate about it. No be say Wen dey ask you were you dey work, you go say actually...
is Barca and Madrid not an higher level than Roma/ Chelsea? Is totti a pussy for rejecting Madrid? The highest level England can compete in is at the world same with Nigeria so what are you saying? You failed with your logic of using Better job offers. Players have rejected better offers and nothing happened.

The day you get a better offer in your career, please stay at your current level because you are scared of competition.

Thanks.
I am sure Lampard, giggs,Gerrard,totti and maybe Messi got better offers to leave their various clubs during their prime but declined. They must be weak pussies scared of competition. Better offer that will leave you jobless in less than a month.

why are you guys only mentioning failed guys.

Let's analyse France 2018 team.
We are mentioning the failed players to prove a point that choosing the bigger nation(Spain/England) over the smaller nation (Serbia/Nigeria ) is not always the right decision like in the case of munir,bojan,solanke etc. No one is saying Abraham picking England is bad but as a player you pick a nation that will guarantee you a regular first team spot. Dele Ali picked England and it has been successful for him so In hindsight he made the right decision but they are also cases of bojan who picked Spain over Serbia and it failed woo fully.
