Former chairman of the Gombe State Football Association Ahmed Shuaibu Gara-Gombe has attacked Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle over unnecessary increase in his salary.

Nigeria will regret it if Eric Chelle’s request of a €130,000 monthly salary is met.
Gara-Gombe: “I don’t think it is okay. “This man just came to Nigeria to boost his CV. I said it before that Super Eagles is too big for Chelle.”The Super Eagles raised Chelle to the global stage not him raising the team, and he now wants to ‘blackmail’ us.”With the players Nigeria have, we are even the ones to ask a coach like Eric Chelle to pay us ‘privileged fees’.”It is so obvious now that Chelle just created a phantom story around Olympique Marseilles that they were after his service, and a few days after, his ridiculous demands came. We are not fools. I read the demands, they are ridiculous. “While at the AFCON in Morocco, Chelle started his phantom story that Algeria wanted his services and the Olympique Marseilles story followed. If he wants to go, let him go. I have not seen any impact he made on the Super Eagles.””Chelle is just lucky we are tip toeing and winning games because of the players’ brilliance, not because of his impact.”We have polished him as a coach. We have turned him into reckoning and now he wants to blackmail us. If we retain this man for this amount, Nigeria will regret it.”
