Finidi George is making a Bold statement who else is observant?
a good one to be candid. I don’t think he has lost any game since his resumption as the head coach of Enyimba
He is my No. 1 choice but will give Eguavoen n SE my support with some reservations though for certain players invited/omitted. God bless to our SE. AWUUUUUUUURAAAAAA……fly high high high SE
I swearrrrrrrrrr…..That guy looks like a future Super Eagles gaffer….
And again Noble is benched hasn’t played active football in months
A good Coach will not play Noble… Never only corruption will, noble can not even counter. One day all this corruption will catch up with every individual. We need to be kind enough to let talent shine over connection.
A very big a shame on nff and alloy agu and whoever who is responsible for John Noble call up to the eagles. I don’t have anything against the young man, but on what justification was he selected, he has not play a ball in anger for close to a year. But we they look them and their corruption. On this Eguavon lost my respect.
Good one my darling Enyimba. It’s shame we went out of caf confed cup on work over and caf has failed to look into the matter
