Good question Robby.

Cellular,

Nothing but since guys like you always accept and support nonsense it has become a naija strait, we shall see how it turns out in the end.

It is reason why i will never respect him because all the things they did to him, he will still continue to be looked at as a man who has never stood for anything except for his pockets...

What exactly did Amodu do to you?

You rather watch the Olympics without Naija in it than have Amodu coach di team?

Na real wah for you...

I will believe this when it actually happens.
Has he signed a binding contract or is this another situation where he will be used and discarded as "an employee of the Sports Ministry"?
What about his huge commitment to Sharks?
It doesn't add up....I think we have a case of junk journalism here. No direct quotes, just conjecture

Deja-vu for me-I guess the angels are singing "YOU ARE WORTHY OH LORD"...i doubt the truth in the article but if its true...its a smart tactical move by the minister..

...circa 1999...

The only reason Amodu will take the job is because it will pave way for selling players.

Nice one Sir V always the naija way of doing things... No wonder the signals were coming Amodu when he was giving all those interviews about way he was treated... What a pity... I guess now those are the coded way of saying he wants to come back one way or the other... Shame....

Any Amodu fans, loyalists, cliques, that has anything to say pls say it because na war with all of you guys from here on

Amodu should take the job and qualify the boys for Athens. If the boys do well in Athens, guess who will coach the team to the 2006 World Cup? Yep, Amodu! The man will finally get to take Nigeria to the World Cup.

See those calling him a fool should realize one thing.. in naija the bottom line is $$$$$$$$. At sharkes how much is he earning ? With the national team he earns much more, plus a chance to get another stinct at a coaching gig outside naija. His resume becomes much more impressive than it already is. So that is what I mean ... The guy may seem unprincipled.. but if making more money is his underlying goal, then by all means .. he should accept any naija calls to handle any team.

somehow I agree with those that blame Amodu for qualifying us for the WC2002. Now he's been called on another rescue mission and all he gets for it is attack from some misinformed individuals. Naija has too many ingrates. Shio!

Amen to that! Also, all those that want to attack Amodu if he takes the job, exactly what have you guys done for your country other than complain about everything?

AS SOME HAVE ADVISED...

...this story is yet to be vetted. But if true it shows a willingness to respond to national duty.

Those who call him a fool miight be right except that foolishness for your country is not a vice - it's a virtue. It's probably the anti-IC's who are acting scared because he might prove his rescue abilities again.

We all know he had been treated poorly before but who knows if this minister would turn out to be a breath of fresh air? Yes, it's the NFA who should be selecting the coach but given their track record and their mindless infatuation with journeymaqn FC's it doesn't bother me that their supervising agency is seizing control.

Finally, for WC06 why not make Amodu and C3 part of a bigger consortium.

I hope history does not repeat itself,that is,Amodu helps to qualify the team for the Olympics,and then gets dropped on the eve of the tournament.He has the onions to qualify us,though.

Obong Obuma,

The only sad thing is which is normal in naija is the same thing is going to happen again, again and again and he will whine along with his supporters again on why he was dropped hahahahaha.... I go see how things go turn out in the end...

MI5, I am a fully vetted member of the Amodu Apologists Club... I do not and will not apologise for being called or labeled as such...

For me the bottom line is output... I still blame Amodu for qualifying us for the WC... he sold players? Which player? He was too friendly with the players...and that means what exactly?

You can call him any name you want, as long as you add Winner too that...

Kpom!

This is exactly what I was thinking - why on earth would he accept this position when there have been no changes since he was disgraced out of employment with the same NFA
