Hello guys,

My opinion on the Oliseh/Enyeama saga.

Nigerians have to learn and understand the fact that balance of power in a football team is quite delicate.

The Coach is the boss and is the first in line to get fired if results don't go well for the team. Therefore, every Coach wants to be in full control of the team on and off the field so as to be fully responsible for the results churned out by the team. No regrets or "Had I known..." after getting sacked.

So can you put yourself in the Coach's shoes and tell us what you'd do given the below timeline

1. Enyeama makes unguarded remarks, that bothers on National security, about a match venue and puts the NFF under pressure from govt.

2. Enyeama is issued a query by the NFF; he proceeds to tear same in the presence of of the team's secretary.

3. Enyeama is invited for a disciplinary hearing; he doesn't show up saying he didn't get the invite

4. NFF decides to sanction Enyeama but resolves to settle matters in house.

5. NFF appoints Oliseh as Super Eagles coach.

6. Oliseh comes out loudly in support of Enyeama. Asks NFF to treat players with respect.

7. Oliseh goes to Europe visiting players so as to explain his philosophy. He drives to Lille to see Enyeama.

8. Call ups for first set of matches under Oliseh (a crucial qualifier and a team building friendly); Enyeama tops the list of players.

9. Time to report to camp; Enyeama (recently bereaved) withdraws at the last minute but everyone is kept in the dark about his bereavement

10. Oliseh tries to rally his troops and barely comes out of Tanzania with a draw.

11. Stand in Captain, Ahmed Musa, shows exemplary leadership skills and puts everything into the 2 matches.

12. Oliseh's makes up his mind to appoint a Captain who's fully with him on this journey.

13. 2nd round of matches under Oliseh; 2 team building friendlies in Belgium

14. Enyeama arrives one day late (due to his performing final rites for his departed mother)

!5. Oliseh announces his decision on team captaincy; Enyeama tries to voice objection; Oliseh overrules; shouting match ensues!

16. Enyeama announces retirement.

If you where the coach or Enyeama or even the NFF president what would you do?

Thank you so much!!!

I have been waiting for a very sensible post like this as motivation to join this conservation on Enyeama saga

How I wish I can be a Judge on this case but I was not there first hand. I can only rely on obvious happenings in recent past.

I won't blame the Coach too much if I consider the happening surrounding the super eagles, particularly as it concern Enyeama.

The guy (Enyeama) seems to me like a subtle trouble maker. That has been case since the days of Samson Siasia. If he keeps having problem with every coach then he should check himself. He also has a big problem. He is putting his personal interest above that of the team - that's very selfish. If we considered what happened during Siasia term when Enyeama was not yet a Captain, you will understand that the guy has been selfish. Always stirring up issues when all hands should be on deck.

Our football has gone so low that everybody concerned need to be making lots of sacrifices not making trouble on and off the pitch. The irony of life is that teams (like Ghanian or Ivorian) that are good and playing well are having less frictions while Nigerian team that is very poor and needing focus are getting lots of distractions. Leaders like Enyeama should take responsibility for always distracting the team with his personal problems. As long as the team remains unstable, only few players like Enyeama shines.

Enyeama is holding the nation to ransom because the FA have not been alive to its responsibility. If the nation has enough options I bet some players will behave differently. Sincerely our senior nation team has not been dynamic like a flowing river. Just static like a stagnant water log. If we are in Brazil, Germany, Spain etc this team would have been disband long time ago and turn over and over again. The nation just needs many options and that is the job of the FA. Unfornately, the FA don't stand it's ground when it matter most.

I can forgive fans who allows their emotions to get the better of them. That is why they are called fans. Even sport analyst and writers who display lack of understanding can be forgiven because they do not have direct influence on the the outcome of the team.

The main players are FA afterwhich we can then consider the team itself and the coaching crew.

dhappyking:
Enyama just spoke on his side of the story on Channels television . I was touched by his words. Truth be told, our local coaches have issues in managing the big boys in the team. And that is destroying the game for this country. Is it Amodu or Siasia or even recently Keshi and now Oliseh? how about the Iheanacho sitting on the bench through a tournament only to go back to Man City to be played in the first team and even score. Shame on our egoes. For goodness sake a good coach should play his enemy if he will give him results. Nigerians expect results not politics from coaches.
It is only the foreigners that can choose the best team and shelve their ego. They know that it is the players that pay their bills and not the other way. Another thing that was obvious from his interview is that Enyama is still willing and committed to playing for the National team if the circumstances are right.

shosky1794:


But the team is bigger than a player. We've had far better player than Enyeama and they didn't make a fuss while bowing out the team. He's had his time so he should let other players do their best for team. It's not as if he achieved more for the team than other players in the past.
