If Blatter had any decency he would resign, but the man has no shame and will continue to go from one crisis to another. How many years can one man spend at FIFA?
NIGERIA’S APPOINTMENT OF KESHI WILL END IN TEARS
As a proud Nigerian journalist, I should be happy that Stephen Keshi has been appointed as the head coach of the Super Eagles as they attempt to recover their battered image and halt their fall from grace from the
top table of African Football. However I see nothing but trouble ahead and it appear he has been set up to fail. Until Nigeria roots out the core cause of their decline such as bad administration and the development of grass root football, Nigeria will not achieve anything. Looking at Keshi’s contract, it appears he has been set an impossible task to succeed. His contract states he must take Nigeria to the Nations cup in 2013 and he must get Nigeria to at least the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
If he fails to qualify for the Nations cup then he will be out of a
job. If he takes the team to the World Cup and they do not get to the quar- terfinals he would still be fired. With the number of coaches Nigeria has had over the last 16 or so years, this is not the way forward as far as con- tinuity is concerned. Knowing Nigeria anyway even if he wins the Na- tions cup in 2013 they would still find a way to remove him and install a foreign coach!
CAMEROON PLAYERS MAKE A STAND
I do not normally applaud players who refuse to play for their country but on this occasion hats off to the Cameroon team who refused to play 30
