So for the records I dealt with the thoughts or idea of sacking Gernot Rohr as the @NGSuperEagles coach on my 9am show today on #ELEGBETETVRADIO but I can accept that the HM @SundayDareSD a very busy man in a government that have no interest for online or digital space, might...
not have interest in an online radio, so let me set out the consequences of any plan to push or sack Gernot Rohr. For a govt that does not fund football up to 40% of what is required, sack Rohr now and Nigeria would pay a minimum of $2 million plus some extra legal and admin fees
We would start the merry go round of hiring a new coach that would realize that our $50k+ coach did not deliver, so we are in a desperate position, therefore, Nigeria becomes a cow that needs to be milked. No coach can turn this team into world beaters, we do not have the players
No coach would manufacture a creative midfielder with hunger and experience for the Super Eagles, to cure the lackluster and clueless play by Alex Iwobi. Wifred Ndidi is injured, Etebo is never a midfielder, we are just using a bulldog to do the job of a donkey. Football is about
Planning, strategy and deliberate actions not some, let me talk, so that my ignorant friends would think I know something. We are in the qualifying series and we are topping our group, it does not matter how you qualify, just qualify. Let's do some football history sir. In 1992
Denmark did not qualify for the Euros but was invited a few days to the tournament, while on holiday, their best player and captain at the time Michael Laudrup said he can't go and be disgraced as they did not qualify, neither did they prepare, they went and won it.
1994 we qualified for our first world cup in the United States of America, Nigeria qualified with 6 points from our group, Italy qualified through best loser with 4 points, they won a sad silver, knocked us out in their way to it. In 2002, Sweden had gone about 30 games without
A loss, they qualified ahead of all else to the 2002 world, sir they did not go anywhere in the tournament. I know your next move would be to call the NFF to try and sack Rohr, please focus on how to push for policies that can convince @AlikoDangote n Uzor Kalu to buy #NPFL clubs
Nigeria is too broke to payout between $2 to $3 million to Gernot Rohr and his backroom staff as settlement. We are not Roman Abrahamovic, the small money from Baba Ijebu is not enough to pay for such gamble. Before Rohr, we have not qualified for back2back AFCON. Since Rohr...
Jude Odion, Mikel Obi and even Victor Moses have retired, any team that loses such players would struggle. Manchester only lost Sir Alex Ferguson to retirement, £1 billion pounds and 37 players later, they are still suffering. It is a silly sense of entitlement and lack of...
understanding of the basics of the reality of football and what it requires to groom and raise a solid national team that would be expecting over the top performance from a team of 65% bench warmers and newbies. The train is moving at a slow pace but please do not derail it.
