The Warri Wolves Courier

16 Jan 2034
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad16 Jan 2034

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bassey Bassey

42 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Warri Wolves lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces16 Jan 2034

Anger at Warri Wolves spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match14 Jan 2034

Warri Wolves come up short against Abia Warriors

Abia Warriors left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad16 Jan 2034

No hiding place for Abubakar Isyaku

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

Squad16 Jan 2034

Words at Warri Wolves training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Okiemute Akporiaye 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.

Squad16 Jan 2034

Bright Ihenacho stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bright Ihenacho and Warri Wolves agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Nobody could get near Ahmad Lamido

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market16 Jan 2034

The Ekene Olisema question follows Warri Wolves around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ekene Olisema’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market16 Jan 2034

Still no ink between Warri Wolves and Oche Nwankwo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Warri Wolves, another week without a signature from Oche Nwankwo.

Player ratings9 Jan 2034

Ahmad Lamido runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 35. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market9 Jan 2034

Michael Osimhen has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Warri Wolves they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market9 Jan 2034

Dennis Osayi-Samuel 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 Warri Wolves, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad9 Jan 2034

Okiemute Akporiaye 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 Warri Wolves this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Jan 2034

Henry Lawal stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Henry Lawal and Warri Wolves agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
