AS the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, continues to chase shadows over the appointment of a coach for the Eagles, one of the players has predicted doom for the team in South Africa. Hull city midfielder, Seyi Olofinjana said that the delay in appointing a coach and settling down to the business of the World cup portends a bad omen for the country.

These are not the best of times for estranged Eagles striker, John Chukwudi Utaka. Everywhere he turns to, Portsmouth fans taunt him claiming that it was his huge pay that made Portsmouth to go broke.

ANYONE who has the interest of Nigerian football at heart should add his voice to condemn the wastes that have become a part of the Nigeria Football Association. How can all members of the association head off to South Africa in search of a World Cup camping site for the Eagles?

ERSTWHILE Eagles coach, Shaibu Amodu, made a dramatic return to the scene yesterday and declared that he was still the chief coach of Nigeria despite being ‘demoted’ by his employers, Nigeria Football Federation, after his bronze medal outing at the Nations Cup in Angola.

Amidst doubt that the redeployed Eagles’ technical crew would shun their new posting, Daniel Amokachi, the team’s assistant coach, yesterday, stormed the Nigeria Football Federation secretariat to indicate interest in his new assignment.
