Nice to see him finally fulfill his childhood dream of managing Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Loved Sadio and he was unfairly penalised by refs. Still get a chuckle out of an American commentator calling him āManeā as in the Lion. Hope he enjoys the rest of his career away from Hollywood FC

Fuck-off Robbie what you doing -
Has he changed his name from God now or does he keep it 
To be honest itās about the level.
Though for a man who has lots on investments does he really need money? Then again what are they paying him
He lost a lot of money due to his agent or manager/ business partner running off with it. i dont know how well off he is now but given this job and his spell in Thailand, iām guessing he is someone with relatively few options within the game.

Ah fair enough, I thought he did promotions for it

I wonder if heās still good enough to put a few in the back of the net in the second tier Saudi division. Maybe he could get them promoted as a super sub. Strange choice, though. Last coached in India.

Itās always a difficult one.
On the one hand, we donāt like our legends getting caught up doing business with a dubious regime.
On the other hand, the Saudis are making moves into sport, and before long I think a lot of people will be involved. (Is Ox weighing a move there?)
Then we automatically talk about the money, as though that is all a person needs from work. Even after some setbacks, perhaps Robbie has enough tucked away that he doesnāt need to take the job, financially speaking.
But what about other aspects of why a person works? Purpose? Meaning? Keeping busy? A chance to use the skills they have? An opportunity to travel, or experience something different?
Robbie is a legend and was a world class striker for us. That doesnāt change.
Since then he has had a modest coaching career, and presumably he hasnāt been flooded with offers, so I find it hard to begrudge him this, or judge him for it.

He did. He was part of the wave of people offering those buy to let seminars. That came after he lost a big chunk of his money but I donāt know whether it led him to going into the Seminar business or if he would have done so anyway given how profitable it appeared.
Ibe apparently training with Chesterfield, still just 27 years old. Rough few years in his career
