I have heard a lot of people voice their opinion why they believe Amodu should take us to the world cup or be sacked. And have come to see that a lot of people don't know what they want, don't know about football and worse of all, have no argument at all.
So here it is - Once and for all, if you have 3 concrete reasons why Amodu should be sacked or should take us to the world cup. Clear the air so that we can reason with you.

Amodu should stay

1. Team anywhere in the world need time to grow, even our SE team of 1994 had being together since 1988, 1990.
2. Amodu has achieved more than any local coach in SE affairs.
3. Amodu and Super Eagles must have learnt from their mistake, correcting them will more easier than someone that will start afresh.

I will set it up.
Reason 1 - Being a good coach is based on 2 factor - Attribute and Result.
A good coach has always been judged based on his result.
RESULTS
Amodu did not qualify us for the world cup, Mozambique did
The world cup is not a training ground, if you don't know what you are doing you will be disgraced.

Amodu fumbled and flopped in 3 big matches during the Nations cup - Egypt, Zambia and Ghana.
He had more than 2 years to present a world class team, what difference will he possibly make in 4 months

Amodu has not improved in his coaching abilities, he led Nigeria to a similar position years ago.
Old Amodu almost relegated Orlando Pirates whilst as a coach with them, he was stoned and booed off before sacked. He cannot change his game plan and is short of ideas when under pressure

Reason 2 -  A good coach must be
1. Accepted
2. A good motivator
3. Respected by his team and can change and demand perfection from his players
4. One who is proactive and can tell an unfit player a mile away
5. One who doesn't believe in destiny
6. One who can discover new players and lead them to the zenith in football - pls tell me one player that Amodu has discover - Mohammed gamba etc.


Reason 3. The super eagles coach should be a world class coach.
Berti Vogt was sacked as a result of poor performance.
Take a close look at Amodu's team, it is a reversed version of Berti vogt's team, Berti Vogts lost to ghana, i bet you if Nigeria had met Zambia, then we would have beat them then lost to Ghana to the semi finals. They had no problem sacking berti vogts which I clearly supported but why have cold feets regarding Amodu, because he is a Nigerian.
Call a spade a spade. Amodu will not take us beyond the first round in the world cup. Why experiment with him, let us get a coach now that will take us to the world cup and then continue and possibly take us to the next world cup.
That to me makes sense.

Amodu shuld nt take us to WC
1. Amodu selection of players is based on sentiments and nt merit and also bn influenced by d men at glass house.
2. With Amodu as a coach,discipline wl never be in d camp coz d big boys underates him and knw dat no matter d circumstance,the wld still make d first list.
3.Amodu technical and tactical knowledge of d game is below average and wl be disastrous for us in d WC.

What's so special about three?why not one reason,or twenty reasons,just sack Amodu so we would not be disgraced at the world cup
In any case,dont forget that the fisrt ever coach to qualify uis for the world cup was a foreigner;named Clemens Westerhof,the first to win for us a nations cup was a foreigne named Otto Gloria,the only olympic gold we've won came courtesy of Bonfere Jo,so in a nutshell,thge only times we've been successful at the senior level have been during the times we had foreigners as coaches
There's also the small matter of the NFA/NFF not dictating to foreign coaches ythe way they would Amodu

Amodu should be replaced.
1.His players lack confidence in him.ask Osaze,Obafemi and Yobo to mention but a few.

2.He lacks a good sense of player assessment as he prefers unfit,injured,match rusty and clubless players(eg.Nwaneri,Ejide,Yobo,Martins,etc) to fit and smart players(Adeleye,Ajilore,Chibuzor Okonkwo etc)

3.He lacks technical abilities.See the game against,Egypt,Zambia,Benin,Mozambique etc).

Amodu should stay

1. He qualified us for the last world cup and then was replaced unceremoniously.

2. He qualified us again for the 2010 world cup

3. He met the requirements of the NFF of a semifinal place for the eagles in the just concluded Nations cup.

Well Amodu to me has been a good coach all along. My reasons y amodu should stay re, 1. He has qualified Nigeria as a whole to d W.Cup 4d second time, 2. Amodu is not being giving d free hand to coach d team. Have bin asking myself dis quest, ? How many coaches do we have in NIg. is it d ptf or nff or d governmet. so wat re we sayin, 3.It doesnt how many times u fall, its a matter of how pick urself  up nd move to d next stage.

hey guy,

well said bro! well said  

he does not command the respect of the players, other coaches NFF and the Nigerian public. therefore, he has no reason to stay.
he lack technical no how. he struggled in all the matches prior to the world cup. we beat kenya three nil but inexperienced kill them as they had more chances to finish us.
he fields players not on form and merit but on other factors. a coach who is not willing and ready to experiment is not worth a dime.
he relies on old players who have passed their prime and leaves the youthful hungry players.

do i say more?

You said it all,

Kx:

@Poster/Moderator,cant we have a poll/survey on dis topic?

Yes we can
However,in 24 hours,Amodu will be sacked,the guy don hammer reach ma e go rest

there is no need for this, Amodu is not a coach, he knows that

He must surely leave the SE n go face his life

What Nigeria needs now is a Coach, i mean a Manager

when  we  say market women, we do not mean crayfish sellers


Amodu's Brain is numb and cannot think fast which is one of the qualities of a good coach, he dont just av the spirit. i mean there is not need for debate.

GIVE US A LIVING COACH

@ denitro
You have said it ALL and in addition, Amodu lack the ability to read a game and make effective changes. He as no pattern.

He must not stay.
1. He is an old skool coach, "Amodu go for more training, update urself, then come back n re-apply".
2. He is not a popular choice among SE fans.
3. He is not Proactve,

@ denitro
You have said it ALL and in addition, Amodu lack the ability to read a game and make effective changes. He as no pattern.

------------------------------------

*not only read a game but study their videos and prepare for them: NO

*Play Martins as a lone striker was the last straw

*The whole world knew Ghana would play a smash and grab football, but we played TWO holding midfielders against a Ghanaian team that hardly passed the half way line

*He has failed twice in the past, why did we go back?

*He is a fraud?

Why Amodu should goo

1. He lacks tactical flexibility :- he sticks to a game plan, when it is obivious that the game plan is not working. His ability to read games and make an impact seriously in question. His subsitutions are ZERO(i.e it has no impact).  He doesn't seems to study his opponents before matchday.

2. Players selection:-              He has favourites and even though they are not performing, he still uses them and gives flimsy excuse to defend them e.g Yakubu, Nwaneri etc, He seems to favours past history as against current form which was why he dropprd ajilore, olubayo etc for Nwaneri, yakubu  etc.  He has been in charge for two yrs and running, and he hasn't discovered any new player especially a playmaker He hates taking risks by selecting new players that are doing well. Everyboby knows that Mikel has lost his touch as an attacking midfielder, yet he keeps using him wrongly thereby making his team very slow in attacking.

3. Motivation:-                       When things are going wrong, he can't motivate his players. He is not respected by his players. He doesn't insipre "US", one look at him when a match is going on(and it's not going well), all hope is lost.


Apart from the above, he has made so much money, and history will always remember him as the only Nigerian coach to have qualified the S.E. for the worldcup

@ poster,
if we start listing the reasons why Amodu should sacked i think it might be more than 20.

1. For more than 2 years with SE, Amodu could not raise a senior team that could beat under 21 ghana team.
For these 2 years we have based our success in football on luck, not on techniques or excelent performance, as such we are known for draw or a lucky 1goal lead. Should always depend on luck? What if run out of luck as it was against ghana?

2. He lack the Authourity to control the so called big boy and failed to raise your talented player from NL who will respect and obey him.

3. He will always being influneced by the NFF, becoz his appointment in first place was not based on merit, as such he will always do the word of them that sent him and not what he think is right. And many more.

AMODU

Is not tactical and hardly reads a match. Every team that plays against us usually come up stronger in the second half.
Is not competent and seems not to get hundred percent respect of players,
Sits like a spectator with no form of emotion towards the game
therefore FIRE AMODU

Nigerians are indeed perculiar people,  always looking for scape goats.


Instead of addressing the root cause of the problem, they are succumbing to a temporary easy way out by playing to the gallery. Like the proverbial ostrich that buries its head in the sand, Nigerians want to put all the blame on Amodu's head thinking that will solve the problem. Wake up!

The problem of Nigerian football goes beyond changing or not changing the coach.
It is more or less that of systemic failure. Nothing works! No real structure on the ground, no strategic plan to develop football from the grassroots (cadet level), no reliable football administration, and indeed no commitment from the players, the coaching crew or even Nigerians in terms of support to the national team. If the team wins, Nigerians will crucify them that the game was easy, that they did not play well, that they faced a weak team. If they loose, Nigerians will still crucify them that they allowed a small team to beat them,  Haba!

The reality on the ground is that if you like get the best coach in the world today for Super Eagles, they will still not go far. Apart from God, no coach will be able to achieve that feat.

My suggestion is for Nigeria to forget 2010 world cup and start planning for 2018 World Cup. Even in 2014 we won't go far. The truth is bitter! am sorry.

I beg to give only reasons for time:

My case #1: Soccer le' Mondial is a dynamic game in nature, the skills of yesternite may only be found obsolete this next moment you wake up. It takes thru' professionals and technocrats in the game to acquaint themselves with the trends of the times. Managers worldwide go for trainings and appraisals thus they are continually relevant because the footballers are a product of the skills of the Managers.

Recently I was listening to a commentary about Nigeria and our new FIFA ranking and it was noted that our problem has got 75% to do with the manager in the person of Amodu, that guy has not gone for any refreshers nor appraisals since February last year, yet he is been assigned the task of managing A NATIONS FOOTBALL TEAM. How pathetic

Reason he should go:NO ONE WITHOUT TIMELY REFRESHER COURSE CAN MANAGE A GOOD NATIONAL TEAM
_____________________________________________________________________________


My case #2: A good leader is simply a function of good followers. If one must succeed then such ought to gather gangs of professionals for counselling, technical skills as well as analytical. No one should assume to know it all. which is where Mr.Amodu keeps failing time and time again.

I seem not to understand what could actually be wrong with that guy, YOU DONT KNOW EVERYTHING YET YOU CLAIM THE CONTRARY. Everyone looking at our eagles at the just concluded ACN, you'll realize that Analytical advice was lacking, medical counselling was found wanting else why would one go to a big tournament as that with band of Injured soldiers. He was even advised to seel counselling and in the face of over 100million football loving fans of Nigeria, he turned down the offer.

Reason he should go: HE LACKS THE WILL TO INVITE GOOD HANDS TO HELP HIM OUT ASSUMING HE KNOWS IT ALL

Yes go on and play to the gallery, a lot of people still have faith in Amodu.See the energy and passion some exercise here in condemning Amodu whereas they can,t say a thing about the politicians turning the country upside down,what stop,s us from using this same amount of energy to fight for our rights in this country? Amodu has served this country better than these set,s of politicians. Amodu should take the team to the world cup, No coach can perform wonders in four months, try sacking if you have a contrary view.It happened before and something tell,s me it,ll happen again, ungrateful country, and highly tribalistic too.

If Amodu is eventually sacked I will be dissappointed; first in Nigerians and secondly in Nigerians.

One minute please, let us be reasonable for 1 minute, and flow in the same frequency.

If indeed Nigerians want Amodu to be sacked and replaced with a Foreign Coach, the thesare my reasons why I believe he should lead the SE to the world cup in SA:

1. The President of Nigeria has been AWOL for more than 70 days and the people are yet to know for sure where he is and the state of his health; Dont you all think it is about time Nigeria employs a foreign President to steer the country, considering the type of leadership crisis the nation has suffered form its leaders.

2. The Senate and the House of Reps are yet to take any concrete step to resolve the above issue; Dont you all think it is about time Nigeria employs foreign Senators and Reps members who can help resolve this issue, considering the anticedents of the previous legislative members who have fought, thrown chairs, practically 'EATEN' money and improverished the people whose interest they are supposed to be protecting.

3. The infrastructures in the country of Nigeria are NOT working, No reliable Electrical Power, Fuel Scarcity (in one of the biggest exporters of crude oil), No good roads, Little or no security, Kidnapping (which I must say has reduced thanks to the Amnesty program), and many more problems; Dont you all think it is about time Nigeria employs the services of Foreign Police, Security outfits, Power generating companies, Road construction etc to power the country.

If you all agree to these, then Amodu can be sacked. Because the truth is Amodu is even more effective than most of the people who are calling for his head. At least his team is the thrid best in Africa and the 15th best in the World. Can our president, Senators, House of Reps members, PHCN, etc say the same of themselves?

I haves said it before and am still insisting that sacking Amodu and bringing a new coach will not take us any where.the way forward is to caution him on his limitations and praise him on his great achievement(3rd place) and also give him free hand to do his team selection.after all there were 32 teams that contested for that cup,coming 3rd is not a bad idea.All these people calling for Amodu's head are not protecting our interest,rather their pockets.period!

Reason 1: Please sack Amodu
Reason 2: Please fire Amodu
Reason 3: Please ban Amodu from ever coaching SE again.

Posers.

1. Whose job is it to send Amodu on refresher course?  Definitely not Amodu.

2. Whose job is it to invite/employ good hands to help the coach? Definitely not Amodu.
