If it’s the NFF, it would be grade B coach whose name and CV you’ll have to Google. Then without concluding on the fine details of the contract, they’ll rush to announce his appointment.
The shocked and embarrassed coach will then publicly announce his rejection of the role cos after all he only grudgingly agreed in the first place.
The super inactive blabbermouth communication director will then badmouth the coach while the NFF dogs further down to shop for a grade C coach who will accept $30K.
The $30k that they will not even pay up on time….
Grade C? Finidi was Grade Z…
Lol. The biggest factor in our non-qualification, along with the very unserious and undisciplined Victor Boniface, in my opinion. Now he’d be displaying the very thing people have been complaining about to the whole world to see with a belly evidence.
Na where person dey work person go chop na.
Onigbese NFF have to structure the salary in such a way that a good portion is available for sharing among themselves. Add to that players bonuses, appearance fees, and other funds coming in, and you can see why their stomachs are so bloated. Swollen with stolen funds.
They wanted to share Bruno Labbadia’s salary, but he refused, because German tax authorities where poised to tax his gross income. So he would have been paying taxes on the money he got, and the money going to NFF. So he refused, of course. That is the real reason he turned the job down. All the explanations provided by NFF na tales by moonlight.
If only they had a financial or investment expert in their midst to advise them on the eventual huge ROI of taking the risks of spending money now rather than sharing and eating it all, as you always advise.
Imagine the windfall Ghana will get from this WC, even if they don’t go far. Queroz’s appointment is temporary, and that windfall will cover it and more.
Meanwhile, Gusau and his goons have lately been all over fake social media prophets like Primate Ayedele to endorse his 2nd term ambition with fake prophesies of Nigeria winning a cadet WC if he’s returned (nah today we dey win cadet WC)? And Ayideele is also advising him to sack Chelle.
Nigeria nah just one fake, Okrika Nollywood movie.
In fact, to be Frank (not Uzoho o or Onyeka for that matter sef), they jus needed to demolish dat failed state call 9ja an dissolve all parliaments and government and then start efryting agen from scratsh (not yansh) abeg lmaaooo!
Obodo Nigeria is not a contri at al at al! Chaii!
