No wonder it was reported days ago that some of the staffs are already looking for other places to work. But at least for now I rest my emotions knowing fully well that the club can fall to whatever depth it choose to.

Yea. They've heard the news since last week.

BascoVanVeli:
It has happened

A team that she should be joining as a coaching staff.

shameless mama dragging shirt with her children.

She'll be like 50 years now o. Remember, her official football age is 40. her real age will be close to 50. 🤣

if she had anything to offer on the pitch in the first place, she will be signing for better and more serious NWPL team

lovewins:
Exactly the point I made. It made sense for her to bow out at the world cup just like Rapineo and Martha did. The conversation about her continued stay really picked up steam after the last list was released.

Her insistence on staying after the world cup is now bordering on her embarrassing herself at this point. The NFF gave her a perfect send off with the world cup. something that most of players male or female don't usually get.

Even the NFF as useless as they can be at times knows enough that she's now doing too much by not bowing out. that's why they didn't invite her.

She should stop embarrassing herself, going up and down ranting on social media

lovewins:
You're being dishonest here. The crux of this conversation started after the world cup.

Even though I wasn't particularly and advocate of Onome going to the world cup I wasn't against it either. Even though she'd been without a club and was scandalously attached to an NWFL club she doesn't play with, I could sincerely understood why she should be there, being the captain of the team and potentially being a good way to end a sterling career. I gave considerations because of these things.

After the world cup however, she no longer had those considerations from me. Like I said in my earlier comment, I wouldn't have called her out if the list was Randy's. If Randy drops a list with Onome in it, my beef will be with him. For the record I haven't commented on this subject since the last time a list that included her was released. Th closest to this was my expression of satisfaction on her name being left out while giving my remark on the release of the recent roster. To characterise that as causing unnecessary tension in the team is being and alarmist and frankly won't work. As free citizens we are and will continue to give our opinion on our teams as we deem fit.

Onome going to the world cup was probably the FA honouring her with a record appearance, and Randy would have probably understood.

I doubt randy would have continued calling her after the world cup. And I'm glad the FA were also thinking along that line.

One man's poison is another man's meat. They should resign. More reasonable people will take over the jobs.

It's even Bs news reporting. I doubt it's true in the slightest.

Fake news like this usually come up every international window.

Anyways, they shouldn't Jump the gun yet. Most of them will probably get replaced when there is a new owner anyway.

US knows that Hamas does not have nuclear weapon that can destroy US
But Russia has!
So, both Russia and US dey fear one another becus of their nuclear capabilities which can end humanity patapata.
Then again, the aim of the US in this war is simply to see if Russians can overthrow Putin.
Secondly, to finish Russian military patapa via prolong war, before US tries to finish China.
The US knew that starting a war with China would likely put Russia at an advantage to support China and also over take globally. But with a weakened Russia economically and military wise, the US can face their biggest war ever in peace which is China. And the plan is working shaa becus Russia has spent so much on the war, losing weapons that would take decades to reproduce and losing man power, losing economic growth, etc.

The proxy war with China is not working. If anything, it's having the reverse effect on Russia.

The USA made the same mistake they did with China those years back. Sanctioning china was what made them develop at very fast pace up to the extent that they are now competing with USA for dominance.

Sanctioning Russia was always a bad idea. Russia didn't see itself as something since the collapse of the USSR, now this war have made them change their thinking and are now mover more towards self sufficiency like china did back then.

They have the resources (both human and material resources to achieve that)

The reason why the intelligent guys in USA pushed for globalization back in the day was to maintain dominance. USA can't be dominat without globalization. It's literally their weapon and why their sanctions usually work.

Now that everyone is moving away from them, because they have over used and abused the use of sanctions, their sanctions would be meaningless and the USA economy will be getting affected every year.

obedience4:
Lol, budget surplus
Yet they failed to make there creditors deadline for payment.
Dude what are you saying?

Yea, lets pretend we don't know the reason for that. 🤡

All their foreign exchange in Europe and American were freezed in their banks. Over 300billion dollars. They Removed their Central Bank from swift payment system.

Even if they somehow want to pay using funds from elsewhere, they literally can't, because they have no access to swift system from which payment can be made to them. 🤣🤣

eph12:
I hope it's not the same legends that some people say are part of the club's problem

As ambassadors, I don't mind.

But as part of people to run the club, is where I draw the line.

The only people I'll accept is David Beckham (reluctantly) and Edwin Van Der Sar.

Both Beckham and Edwin are both experienced in club management. With Beckham being good at the business side of club administration very well.

They both have track records.

So bringing them in as one of the Club directors is a good addition. They are good enough to rub shoulders with the best in Europe in football club administration and management

mostob:
Did she made a post or what exactly did she do?

Yea, those subtle Jabs she usually post on her IG story.

obedience4:
Seems you are a poor student of economics
Which economy in the world including Russia doesn't have a debt deficit.

The key is who owns the debt?
The USA for example, it's Federal Reserve Own 65% of USA debts

Russia.

The country has the least debt.

I was surprised when I heard it last year during the period of those sanctions. in fact they ran on budget surplus.

I couldn't believe my ears.

JuanDeDios:
Fair point. But would you suggest the alternative - leave Ukraine to be overrun by Putin? Every choice made made by man comes with its own problems. You can only take the utilitarian approach and hope history justifies you.

I mean if Russia intention was to over run Ukraine, why would it bother to even initiate those numerous agreements with respect to Ukraine since 2014.
Even the last one last year in April 2022 that the west convinced Ukraine to reject after they almost agreed doesn't involve annexing the Donbass.
With that agreement, they get to keep the Donbass, but must remain neutral as a country without having to join NATO, also they grant regional administrative autonomy to the Donbass, similar to the arrangement that Spain has with Catalonia, Hongkong with China etc


Now they will loose the whole Donbass altogether because zelensky didn't put his people first. but allowed himself to be used by the west as a stick to beat Russia

Please, reduce your daily dose of CNN abeg.

AkinDS:
Those highlighted have absolutely zero business being on the team, as Oyono and Comfort are fundamentally very POOR players and definitely not up to scratch at this level.
Otherwise, a decent squad.

Home based quota I guess

wisdomabeljr:
Something strange is going on with Oshoala and Barcelona femeni.
*Having less game time.
*Fans are complaining about her.
Is she injured or something?

Nothing really.

Their coach is just experimenting with Alexia as a false 9.

He doesn't want to change the Midfield 3 of Walsh, Patri and Aitana. So instead of dropping Alexia back to midfield, he decided to send her to the CF position.

Kind of how Hermoso usually plays false 9. Same role.

melodyogonna:
Man Utd recruitment has been shitty because we've had no team identity. The obvious positions to fix have always been determined by who the current manager is. With Ferguson that wouldn't be the case, because his team had identity. He would already know his midfield, defence, and striker needed shoring up, and the right profile of players to fill them.

Also, a team where you spend 1 billion with 1 coach will be a lot better than a team that spent 1 billion with 5 different coaches. Meaning each coach only got an average of 200m.

People usually say "but united has spent 1billion just like mancity". What they dont usually say is that Man city spent 1 billion with 1 coach. But we spread that 1 billion on 5 different coaches with different styles.

Give Ferguson half of that 1 billion money. He would have found a way to send pep packing. No jokes

daveP:
That leaves Afolabi and Onyenezide. Happy for this move. But make somebody enter English league too na. Shuu

A lot of the english teams bar very few are currently on an all white team basis now. No room for black people. Heck, even their own black british women find it hard to break into WSL at the moment.

If you are not a white blonde woman, no space for you in the WSL at the moment

Its not a conspiracy theory. Look at France and spain, with the sheer amount of black women all over their league, compared to England

The authorites in England are desperate to keep the league as white as possible, subcontiously.

Deltamani:
You would think that Cameroonian football would improve with Eto’o being the head. He said that he was going to make sure that the Cameroonian National Team regularly play matches against other nations. So sad. Reality is another thing

Most of these African ex players just sit around after retirement, waiting for juicy positions. They don't have any knowledge of management.

Most of those ex players in Europe who went on to hold positions in their respective FAs, UEFA etc actually studied various sports management courses whether as a Diploma course or Degrees. That's why they usually know what to do when they get those positions.



You think a big club like Ajax will just give Edwin Van Der Sar a position of CEO in the club without any knowledge of management? Van Der Sar studied sports management course, that's why he could hold such position, and he did very well at Ajax as a CEO.

If tomorrow, he becomes the FA president of Netherlands or he enters UEFA or FIFA, he'll replicate that experience there too and do well.

Trevor012:
So if Burnley play beautiful football with championship level defenders why are you now defending your big 7 from using Evans and Lindelof to the same 🙊

Yea. that's why they only have 1 point from 5 games.

With the way they are going, relegation is sure for them. You guys think playing tiki taka is the only way to win a football game.

The reason Real Madrid js so successful today is that Perez don't demand beautiful football from the coaches he hires, he only demands 3 points and trophies from them. How you'll do it is up to you as a coach. If you like play beautiful football or Haram football. Just win the bloody game.

Atiku and his team have probably seen the records via unofficial means. However, such documents will be inadmissible in court as evidence if such evidence was obtained illegally.

That's why they are in court to get CSU to release it to them legally so it can be useful in the supreme court.

isan:
Where do you want the money to come from ? Who go to stadium to watch women play ? Most clubs lose money funding their female team

Yes, we all know that. The authorities in europe are not ready to fund womens footbal, at a loss. Then tehy should not chastise people that are ready to do it.

Agreement between Liga F and the unions to call off the strike

https://ligaf.es/noticia/acuerdo-entre-liga-f-y-sindicatos-para-desconvocar-la-huelga

Statement

2023/24 season: 21,000 euros, which can be increased to 23,000 euros depending on the growth of the competition's commercial income.

 2024/25 season: 22,500 euros, which can be increased to 25,000 euros depending on the growth of the competition's commercial income.

 2025/26 season: 23,500 euros, which can be increased to 28,000 euros depending on the growth of the competition's commercial income.

This Professional League and its Clubs had always defended the need to reach a long-term agreement that would provide stability to the women's professional football project and allow gradual and sustainable growth in accordance with the development of the competition.

The commitment and repeated efforts of the Clubs during the negotiation process have contributed fundamentally to achieving the much-needed peace scenario without losing sight of the sustainability of the competition. A scenario that we hope will show the way to the rest of the institutions that are part of Spanish sport and allow the project of women's professional football to be promoted.

Finally, this Professional League would like to thank the SIMA Foundation and the mediators involved for their commitment and dedication, which have been decisive in achieving this agreement.

These ones are busy dragging each other over a meagre 23k per annum minimum wage, in a top league o.

Yet they expect Plumptre to not go to Saudi Arabia for better bag.

Foolish arrogant Europeans.

Deltamani:
Some of the comments am seeing on some of the transfer pages is that she chose Money over Morals.

If you’re not among the big names and National Team Player you can barely earn $50,000 a year from the Women’s game.. except You’re in the Asisat Oshoala, Puttelas, Renard, Diani, Vivian Miedema, Alex Morgan, Rapinoe, Bronze Level that you will be earning above $200,000 to $1M annually..

In the top Divisions in France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, England and the NWSL they earn as little as $1500 monthly as minimum Salary… When you get the Saudi/China Offer it’s difficult to ignore it especially when you can get what you get a year in two months over there..!

The highest paid player in the WSL presently is Russo at Arsenal, Earning 500k per year.

She's part of the minority that earn relatively good money, yet it's just 500k.

In doubt any women is presently earning 1m. It's an if.

Majority are earning less than 100k, while the super majority who are just normal regular players earn way below 50k per year.

If Ashleigh had moved to a team in Europe, I doubt dhe will get up to 200k sef. I doubt it.


Liga F in Spain has a minimum wage of 16k per year. They are currently fighting to increase it to 23k per year in 3 years. look at that number 😭😭

If you're not playing in the top 3 in Spain, your wage is literally shit🤣🤣

Deltamani:
Saudi Arabia can easily dominate the women's game. Pay a minimum of $250k and max out at $1m. In 2 years Europe and the NWSL will have to adjust. Bold move by her.

But such move Won't happen because a significant percentage of female player are gay, and being gay in Saudi is illegal with a death penalty as maximum punishment. That's before we get into the general repression of women in every area of life too…

But again why can’t they keep their Sexual life aside and focus on the Pay, get the bag and move on to where they accept such Lifestyle..

I don't have the data, but I feel the amount of Lesbians in women's football is overstated. They are just a loud minority.

It looked like they have the highest number because they don't usually hide it, they proudly flaunt it.

I may be wrong though but their numbers are overstated

BankyGee:
Haba boss. You fell to your knees? 😏😏

Let me cook abeg na

charlesemeka85:
I iwobi remains super eagles best attacking midfielder

His touches and link up play is unmatched

I hv always said and still maintain that our best midfield trio for now is ndidi, Onyeka and iwobi

I still wonder many undermines iwobi’s importance in our midfield which was evident in our match against ghana 🇬🇭

If iwobi started both legs the chances of qualifying would hv been high

True. Home and away, Osimhen never got any scoring chance. He was feeding off literally scraps. It was terrible. No through balls from midfield for Osimhen to run into. The crosses were terrible as well. It was an eyesore

Mujtahida:
With Osimhen as the point man, Nacho was less under pressure. Anyway it's Sao Tome sha.

Nacho is at his best when hes behind the striker or playing as an inside foward from the right wing position, doing his thing with the knowledge that there is a big striker upfront he can pass the final ball to.

Kog45:
Chuckwueze assist to Osimehn goal and Iheanacho assist to Awoniyi goal are reminiscent of 2015 and 2013 U 17 WC.

When i saw those goals, it brought the flashbacks of those U17 days of those guys.

I just fell to my kneels with tears almost dropping from my eyes. Hopefully those combinations happen more often, even against better teams

mostob:
My fellow brothers, when are we taking these guys to court? See the way they're holding our wife na

No one has beef against him, hes not a popular figure, so he will get a pass.

Rubiales case was an issue of someone that they wanted to roast before, he now used palm oil to rub his body to make the roasting easier

We all know that Spanish womens team has had issue way before the world cupwith their Coach and FA president who refused to support them and was defending the coach against them.
On a normal day that issue no suppose cause anything major as it happened in a moment of celebration and there was no bad intention behind it. The girls saw an opportunity to get back at those guys and they took it to the maximum. I respect them for that

Going foward, those girls have already proven a point to the hierachy within the FA and they will take their concerns serious moving foward.

AdisaOwala:
Is he being accused of rape?

Greenwood isnt even accused of Rape too. Assault and Attempted rape (due to the audio).

charlesemeka85:
not only Germany but Belgium,Italy,Holland n Brazil

Bro. It's insane that in an era where there's is shortage of proper pure No. 9 CFs, Nigeria has almost 5 quality strikers who are ready to go. This is what the bible call greed

Leyqute:
Apparently the lady forged some of the chats she submitted as evidence. She deleted some of Antony’s comments. And that’s the WhatsApp chat that has been posted on the front page of several newspapers.

An expert hired by Antony’s lawyer made this revelation yesterday.

He said there were other chats that were manipulated too.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw_DWKHPEOB/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==


Whatever happened to obtaining evidence from both sides before passing judgments?

Even if Antony was guilty, which I doubt, the tampering of evidence by the lady will make it an easy case for Antony's lawyers. Even if the lawyer is a year 1 student

patrickmuf:
Watch how he stays away from the team for an extended period...

He should be allowed back and if the authorities was any clarification from him, they can always reach out. If he was standing trial, I'd understand...

He's also a very well known public figure as an EPL player with a career. I doubt the authority in Brazil will hold on to him as a flight risk. So if he wanted to resume I doubt he'll have any issue.

patrickmuf:
If he hits peak form I suspect they'll damn the consequences and reintegrate him into the team. I do not see the Glazers letting him join another because they would rather not have to spend money to buy another forward next summer...

If he hits peak form on loan, them he's not going anywhere. That's a potential 50-90m player there on the balance sheet
