“In one week, Rohr will get his contract, he should study his contract and come back to us. So, give and take, within seven days, he should have his contract.
“The only thing that can impede the contract is if he refuses some of our new clauses in the contract.
“He should live in Nigeria and go around to watch the league matches and see how to nurture the players.
“He has to be paid in Naira, we will pay him Naira equivalent of the dollars, we have to strengthen our currency. If he’s able to accept, we have a deal, ” Pinnick said.
