I came across this interview in the Sun newpaper. Maurice Cooreman actually is Belgian and i believe he his entitled to his opinion, but really i think his comments on Taiye Taiwo describes him more as a jeun jeun coach,  The response Taiye gave him according to the interview says alot about the personality of the coach as a kiss and tell

here is an excerpt of the interview

[b]Taye Taiwo, denied me
I was, however, disappointed at Taye Taiwo. He spent four years with me, two years at Niger Dock, one year at Gabros International and one year at Lobi Stars. But I was reading one of the sports newspapers, one full page on him and he doesn’t remember my name anymore. He was asked how he began his football career and he said he started from Niger Dock Soccer Academy and it was a white man that coached them (he had forgotten my name).

As if that was not enough, one day my team, Kaduna United played a friendly match in Abuja and it happened that the Super Eagles came for training and met us on the pitch. Many of the players in the Super Eagles that played under me in the past all rushed to come and greet me, Mike Eneramo, Elderson Chiejile, Julius Akpala and so on. I noticed that Taye stayed back and I had to walk to him and said to him, “Taye, what's the matter with you?” And he replied: “Coach, you can see we want to train. Give your phone number to the Team Manager so that I can call you later. I said ok and I gave my phone number to the Team Manager but Taye never called me. Next time my goalkeeper at Kaduna United, Uche was going to the Super Eagles camp and I asked him to give my number to Taye and ask him to call me. The boy confirmed to me that he gave my number to Taye and he said he would call me but he never did till today. I feel very disappointed. I never ask for one kobo from players.

Never! But not to acknowledge the role I played in his career breakthrough, to me, is the height of ingratitude. I refuse to appreciate that. This was the same player that I arranged for him to go to Belgium from the Niger Dock Academy. While in Belgium, he played one match with Gent and another match with Club Bruggs. And he was crying that he wanted to go back to Nigeria. The man who sponsored his trip to Belgium, Mr Havaley, warned me never to allow him return to Niger Dock Soccer Academy. But when Taye came back I said to him no problem, I know what you can do. I will allow you to stay.

That was how he remained with me at Niger Dock until I took him to Gabros and later to Lobi Stars from where he made it big to France. And now he plays with a big team, AC Milan in Italy. If I had listened to Mr Havaley from Belgium and shut the door against him at Niger Dock, nobody would have known Taye Taiwo today. I saved his career. I took him to Gabros and he learned a lot under me. Every day I would tell him that’s your position you must do this and that.[/b]

what do you all think?

Maurice is a great coach, but if he says about Taiwo is true, then Taye really made a mistake.

Yeah i know hez a great coach, but lots of great coaches dont come out 2 lambast their protege except something went wrong along the line, I dont think Taiye Taiwo in his normal senses would just neglect him like dat if nothing was amiss, Taiye has not done same for Siasia that took him 2 Holland, i mean he responds to Siasia's call 4 any game on time, letz reason about this

I suppose we can't judge till we hear Taiwo's side of the story. But is it possible for someone not to aknowledge a person that is so instruemental to his career?

dats true sha,  , i supposes its alwz hard for you to 4get your origin unless something wasn't right from start or u were a born ingrate,
