Randy !!!! Abeg no come randy all our girls ooooo (smile) .Good NFF. Lets make progress
Honestly don’t know what to say. Whether to say we are in trouble or have scored a treble with RANDY. Can only ask Jehovah God to help us.
Nff used this as a face saver just to give the impression that billing consultancy did their job. We are smarter than u think.
Sincerely, hardly can anyone predict what exactly Randy has in the kitty
I can’t imagine that the only and singular viable experience he has, that can be pointed to is his stint at Trinidad and Tobago. Maybe probably being an American as well.
I was probably expecting to hear a former USA, Germany, Norway or Swedish National Female Team Coach, or something. Here’s someone who has even turned you down in the penultimate
The truth is, we have less problems to deal with at the continental level. Improvements we are looking to make is at the global stage
Until he’s able to churn out intimidating performances with technical depth, tactical discipline and table turning methodologies on the global stage, I personally remain unconvinced with his appointment.
At the same time, we can not afford to underestimate his capabilities. We’ll wait for time to prove him.
Hahahahaha….I still dey laugh o. These are the coaches PWC and Philips Consulting got us after 1 year of screening….LMAO. NFF na una biko o.
Thank God we cried out when the were hatching their plans to get rid of Rohr.
Randy is a developmental coach, he earlier rejected the offer to coach falcons but had a change of mind..thank God he is here …
