Kingsley Maduforo says Enyimba went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tempers go at Enyimba

Kalu Nweke was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

129% of the income goes out in wages at Enyimba

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Henry Ndedi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Enyimba may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

No hiding place for Bassey John

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bassey John, and the manager let it.

Issah Mohammed hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Enyimba can pretend not to have heard.

Nobody could get near Nzube Chukwurah

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Stanley Dimgba signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Stanley Dimgba and Enyimba agree another 2 years.

Stanley Dimgba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Enyimba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

No hiding place for Kingsley Maduforo

Kun Khalifat watching Chibudem Favour

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Enyimba have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Nothing got past Usman Lolo

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 17 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Nobody at Enyimba has picked up the phone to Stanley Dimgba

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Kalu Nweke stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.58 on the card, and the Enyimba support went home talking about one name.
