Cameroon head coach: End of the Road for Volker Finke?

His contract expires on the 24th May 2015, and yet Mr. Finke does not know what awaits him. The poor results encountered by the National team under his leadership these last months are not helping him either. We can still remember the poor performance of the Indomitable Lions in the Brazil World Cup where the Lions were eliminated in the first round of the competition after defeats from Mexico(0-1), Croatia(0-4), and Brazil(1-4). Mr. Finke deliberately decided to go along with injured players to the World Cup (more than 10 injured players according to some members of the medical staff who were later sacked).
At the AFCON in Equatorial Guinea, this was the occasion for Volker Finke to buy his head. But he again went astray from the objective. In the surprise of many, the Indomitable Lions were yet again eliminated in the first round after two draws from Mali(1-1), Guinea Conakry(1-1), and a fatal defeat against Cote d’Ivoire (0-1). Rumors of corruption, influence of some players’ agents, the lack of charisma in some internal problems, all affected the German coach who could not manage them. The divorce seems to be at the door knocking.
A mail in that sense was transmitted on Thursday to the FECAFOOT by the Minister of Sports and Physical Education to inform to the technical department of FECAFOOT that the contract with the German technician will not be renewed. According to Mboafootball.com, “This mail is a reply to another previously addressed by Joseph Owona to his hierarchy to let them know about his will to get rid of the German coach.”
Even though there is nothing for the moment, and it’s not official yet, many names are circulating already in the press as being among the people who might succeed the German coach at the head of the Indomitable Lions. We know already that Luiz Fernadez, a former coach of Paris Saint Germain, Atletico Madrid, Espanyol Barcelona, and Betis Sevilla won’t be coming to Cameroon as some opinions made us believe, for he engaged himself with Sily National of Guinea Conakry. Two other technicians are still in a short list which, according to our well informed source, is circulating between the Minister of Sports and Physical Education (MINSEP) and the FECAFOOT. The two technicians are Giovanni Luciano Guiseppe Trapattoni, 76 years old from Italy, and Frederic Antonetti, 53 years old from France.

[CAMEROON] Why all Anglophones are members of the Southern Cameroons National Council

Before and after the All Anglophone Lawyers’ Conference of 9th May 2015, claims and insinuations were linked to the real or imaginary interference of the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC) with the deliberations and outcome of the conference. As would be expected the conveners of the conference have gone at length to dissociate themselves from SCNC control as if the SCNC was a pariah organisation.  SCNC is a product of the All Anglophone Conference (AAC) of 1993 and 1994 that brought together different shades of Anglophone opinion to be crystallized into a common vision. It was only after the Cameroon government failed to take on board proposals by the AAC that a new pressure group emerged like it is often the case in liberation theology to give visibility, potency and geo-political relevance and space to the Anglophone struggle. It is here that the SCNC was born. It was no more a liberation of a people as it was for a territory that freely opted for a Union in 1961 ...

Cameroon: SCNC picks issues with Fru Ndi over Federalism

By Sylvanus Ezieh, May 21, 2015 Cameroon Journal, Yaounde  – The Southern Cameroons National Council, SCNC has picked issues SDF Chairman John Fru Ndi with SDF chieftain, John Fru Ndi over his comments at a press conference in Yaounde last week that Cameroonians shall decide on the number of states in the event of a return to federation. [post_ad] The president of one of the SCNC factions, Thomas Nwachan told reporters during a recent briefing in Bamenda that Fru Ndi seems to be confused over the issue of the number of states. “Fru Ndi is making the same errors he has always made. He started in 1992 with 4 states federation and then moved to 6 states, to 8 and 10 states. I’m convinced that it is because he has failed in all his demands that he is throwing the challenge to the population to decide, just like what he said during a press conference in Yaounde last week.” [post_ad] Nwachan said that the Anglophone problem is not a problem of guess work like w...
