Icon4s:Hope Leicester situation would not repeat itself in Bristol like Coach doesn't know how to use him or Bristol patterns of play doesn't suit Nacho,so he should look for a club that he can fit in,making mistake again would be disastrous to his career. |

Kog45: Eh if he starts warming bench at Bristol then they send him on another loan to a mid or lower table championship team. And if he still continues chopping bench they loan him again to a lower division. How come we have never ever put into consideration pattern of play of either player or club when we discuss transfer of other players? It is only Iheanacho that a club must suit his pattern. If he cannot get the nod at Bristol then what are we talking about? 1 Like |

terzurum5:Boss it is a pity that NPFL is in this situation and i wouldn't blame the Nigeria football leagues administrators cos the situation is above them and they can only do little to salvage it. Nigeria economy is just the only way out,until we have improved economy the pathetic situation.It affect all the segments in the country but our love for football make us believe it's only sports. I remember in the 80s when we have a relative better economy you see stadium full with spectators who are happy to watch the game irrespective of clubs involved but what we have now is damn terrible. The Nigeria leagues in the 80s was so good that some foreign clubs love to come down during pre season to play against Nigeria club side,i remember Leventis United vs St mirren a scottish premier league clubside played at national stadium. The only way out is good government and good leadership cos a good economy turns things around and it would definitely brings the best out of our football. |

Icon4s:Yes i made that comment for those who are always sentimental about Nacho situation cos the general believe was he made a wrong move based on Leicester pattern of play which you are aware of, especially on this thread during Shakespeare tenured as a coach. Some blamed Shakespeare instead of Nacho even till today Puel is receiving knocks here for Nacho situation.I don't believe Bristol coach is better than Shakespeare or Puel so Nacho should raise his game cos he is a valuable member of Super eagles,his goal ratio is a top notch and he remain the only player in present Eagles that w can count on when it comes to goal scoring,playing time is important for him,not just go to any club and be sitting on the bench. 1 Like |

Danycrusoe: You probably will not be suprised but I have some friends who, catch a flight Friday night from Lagos get into London in the morning watch Arsenal and fly back that night back to Lagos. Sometimes they will fly into Manchester from London to watch Arsenal at away matches. There is something truly perverse in that they probably do not know all the names of the local teams and will struggle to mention the names of up to 10 local league players. Until we value our local league, appreciate and patronise it, this trend will not stop. And for those who think I only watch all things English I went to watch Etebo when he was at Warri Wolves. And not on TV I sat in the Sun in Warri Township stadium. I didn't have s steak pie after the match but roasted bole. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, same have not so good grass (like 2-3) but the rest are okay. Those who entertained violence (only against refs and sometimes officials), none against spectators. Infact it's been ages we heard anything about violence against spectators. We have also seen heavy hammers being landed on those who try to break the code of conduct. Some being basnished to far away states, some to play indoors (Enyimba was a culprit). Some forfeited points, some paid whopping fine. Yes Ubah had issues with Efcc which affected him paying on time. Some of our league players earn #200k upwards monthly. No NPFL player earn below #80k per month. (LMC law). Danycrusoe: |

Govt should force private individuals to invest in the league or how do you privatize govt clubs? You need the crowd before you can sell to private entity. Football is business and business is people. One thing I will force govt to do is to make cable TV extremely expensive, then ban all local stations from airing foreign league. LMC is a private entity! Humility017: 10 out of 20 is not owing. You see what I am saying about uninformed comments on this thread? Only 2 out of 20 clubs defaulted last season and their reason we all got to know. 1 out of the 2 was even on match bonuses (Enugu rangers). |

Kog45: I am not laughing � don't know where you got that idea from. If you want to propel yourself upwards in the EPL and create interest, the first cousin to the EPL is the Championship. If you can perform in the Championship you will create interest from the EPL maybe not from the top 6/7 teams but generally every body else. The EPL requires a different type of skill set in addition to the basics of skill and technical ability. And that is strength speed and physical resilience. These attributes are seen in the Championship to a great extent as a result top performing players from the championship will find themselves in the EPL. It is better to be a top performing player in the Championship than a dead bench warming one in the EPL. The world cup will come and go but KC will still require his career to have progression and not stagnate. he may perform for Nigeria in Russia but will it be enough to propel his club career, I simply do not know ![]() The Belgium and Dutch leagues are considerably lower than the EPL.Depends on how you want to assess it but using UEFA coefficient analysis which is weighted towards UEFA competition performance. See the link below. Which is not a figment of my imagination as some would have you think. https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/ If we use this as base line data we would find some clubs in Belgium ranked 70 places below teams in the EPL. But that doesn't tell the whole story. The Eredivisie has the highest goals per match ratio among all leagues in the top twenty of UEFA league rankings, that tells us something. Some clubs in the Eredivisie would be ranked over a 100 places below the some EPL clubs. Put all the data together objectively then make an objective based projection devoid of emotive sentiment. You then discover that it would not be undue bias to rank European teams and or leagues below the top 6/7 UEFA ranked leagues on par or even below the Championship. Tega Abrahams propelled himself into the EPL after being one of the top three goal scorers in the Championship. I will remind you that this is the same Bristol City that beat a star studded Manchester United in the cup. In this regard this would be an excellent move for KC as it's apparent he is not going to get much game time in Leicester any time soon. So considering your early assertion do you think that the championship is below the Belgium and Dutch leagues. I will concede that I suspect that Belgium league may be possibly technically superior. But I am talking competitive superiority not technical. I leave you to consider your earlier deductions from a standpoint of knowledge and objective appraisal. I am still not laughing. 1 Like |

I saw passion in their eyes.. With most fans mention their favourite players.. I was shocked when I see various cab drivers okadaman packing to have a look on their team... I believe repackaging of the teams will go a long way to win heart of more fans... Local tV stations , radio station... Social medial like twitter and fb ..should be use by each club to promote the their team Good documentation of players is necessary we need most clubs to play good and modern football We can do it and I believe the positive change is on already...

elyte89: NO HE IS NOT AT ALL, if all goes well this will put him on an upward trajectory for the EPL. However, it's a two edged sword in that it could go either way. He has to hit the ground running and ABSOLUTELY PERFORM. If not it will not be beneficial to his career at all. However, it's the championship to some here think it's very easy so he should end up being at Least in the top 10 goal scorers irrespective that he started the season late at the very least preferable top 5. |

Danycrusoe: The refs aren't that bad, the Nigerian factor comes in here. There is a disciplinary sector in the NFRA that deals with erring refs. They are sent to lower divisions and some are suspended for some seasons. Some are dismissed totally from the game. All refs go through training and seminars are organised multiple times a year. Awards are given to outstanding refs. Lastly, old legs are being phased out and young ones are being promoted. Qadri, Ferdinand udoh are FIFA bagded refs and both are very young in age and appearance. They have at least 20 more years in the game. There are other young refs coming up. Tade Azeez is the NRA president and he's in love with young referees. You must pass fitness test before you can gain any promotion once you to grade 1. Exams won't get you to officiate in NNL or NPFL unless you pass fitness test which is mostly conducted in Abuja, Ibadan etc. FIFA also sends ref instructors multiple times a year to Nigeria for those viling to get FIFA badge. There is nothing done or known abroad that the local refs don't know. It's the same laws of the game we use. 1 Like |

Sampaoli Worried Over Dwindling Form Of Argentina Stars Argentina coach, Jorge Sampaoli, is concerned with the lack of playing time of some of his key stars at their various clubs ahead of 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The Albiceleste, two-time winners of the World Cup, have been drawn in Group D along with Nigeria, Croatia and Argentina. According to a report in Ole.com.ar , Sampaoli is worried that the likes of first choice goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, Javier Mascherano, Angel Di Maria, Javier Pastore and not playing regularly for their clubs. The former Chile and Seville coach has encouraged the players to seek a permanent transfer or loan in the January window to boost their fitness and chances of making the World Cup squad. Romero is second choice to David De Gea at Manchester United and has been limited to a couple of appearances in the League Cup and was in goal for the Red Devils in Friday’s Emirates FA Cup 2-0 win against Derby County at the Old Trafford. Experienced midfielder cum centre-back, Mascherano has been in and out of Spanish giants Barcelona team this season, while Di Maria is not longer assured of a regular starting berth at French club Paris Saint Germain due to the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. Pastore and Giovani Lo Celso are further behind the pecking order at PSG, while defensive midfielder Matias Kranevitter has also struggled to get game time with Zenit St. Petersburg of Russia. The South Americans will face the Super Eagles in their last group game on June 20 at the Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/sampaoli-worried-dwindling-form-argentina-stars/ |

Argentina Coach Sampaoli: Nigeria Will Be Tough But We Have Messi Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli has admitted that Nigeria pose a big threats to his team’s aspiration of going past the group stage at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and is banking on Barcelona forward Lionel Messi to help beat the West Africans, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Albiceleste will come up against the Super Eagles in their last group game of the competition on June 26 at the Krestovsky Stadium. It will be the fifth meeting between both countries in the group stages of the competition with the South Americans winning all previous four occasions. Messi missed the recent friendly meeting both teams which Nigeria won 4-2. Croatia and debutantes Iceland are the other teams in the group. “Nigeria is an unpredictable team, with very fast players,” Sampaoli said during his interaction with the media here in Moscow after the draw on Friday. “We dealt with them very well in the first half in the friendly against them, but we could not cope with them in the second half. “Now, we will have another chance against them. I know i have the best player in history, which is Lionel Messi which will help us against them.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/argentina-coach-sampaoli-nigeria-will-tough-messi/ |
