The dugout

Alfred Odinaka says Ikorodu City 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.

Market

Kelechi Onwe puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ikorodu City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

PAEEK come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Ikorodu City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tosin Oyedokun 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 Ikorodu City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Ikorodu City

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Uzoma Chinonso attracts admirers

The name of Uzoma Chinonso has come up in conversations Ikorodu City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

Ikorodu City promote Ola Bassey from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ola Bassey has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

A bad afternoon for Ikorodu City against Plateau United

0‑1 to Plateau United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Joshua Bassey out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Joshua Bassey, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Emmanuel Mathias asks to leave Ikorodu City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at Ikorodu City

Tosin Oyedokun and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Chineme Chinonso signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Chineme Chinonso and Ikorodu City agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words at Ikorodu City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Seun Agboola is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Rasheed Owolabi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Kelechi Onwe knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Kelechi Onwe trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A falling-out at Ikorodu City

Tosin Oyedokun and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Ikorodu City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Seun Agboola was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Daniel Idoko

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

The dugout

Chidera Oparaocha knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Ikorodu City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Michael Atata gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Michael Atata is on it.

Squad

Ayomide Cole has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Ikorodu City will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
