"In every group, there are players who betray the team," said Oliseh.

"When a team has decided to do something and some people decide to do something else, what can one say about that?


Oliseh silent on snub
"If someone decides to be captain knowing that half of the players that enabled the country qualify are not there, I can only say congratulations to such a person," an angry Oliseh said.

Oliseh insisted that he had no apologies for his conduct as captain of the Nigerian team during the African Nations Cup.

He was accused of being disrespectful to Nigerian sporting officials.

Was Oliseh not doing the right thing here (2002) or should people stop doing or saying the right things because of the fear of "what goes around" .As Nigerians, we always want to ascribe imaginary or non existent causation to every thing.

I like that statement. I must remember it.

[oloye]

I did not want to dig into Oliseh's past antecedents....but hey it is out anyway. Which makes me wonder how does our past mistakes ,experiences shape and equip us to deal with the future? I would have thought if there is anyone who more than anything would understand how to deal with a troublesome or firebrand player....it would be Sunny.

And after he was dropped- what success did the team have in 2002 2004 2006 2008 etc.- I know they say what goes around comes around but must he then allow such behaviour or events to continue?? I taught the deal is you learn from past mistakes!!!!

You dey mind dem?

Some of us are yet to be convinced of the "crime" of Enyeama to warrant all the brouhaha.

Oliseh was a "hot-headed" player and seems to be struggling now as a manager to deal with a hot-headed player. I see no credit in that.

What is all these about - anyway? What is the reasoning for this?

[pajimoh]

Often times you read on this site and in general "he's a fine one to talk". Simply because you're probably guilty or just as bad.

This saying is in line with "to be a good leader you must be a good servant". Oliseh's attitude in service has been questioned many times. I supported him as a player because of the way the players were being treated.
I support him still as a manager. But he's not dealing with me. He's dealing with those who know the full story, his character, his strength and weaknesses and sometimes they might say to him with their actions "you're a fine one to talk"

Keshi, Oliseh and Siasia were hotheads and rebels in their days. They know, through participation, the antics of superstar players and are best equipped at cutting those players to size. Siasia did the same to Mikel and co.
Point is, only their success or failure on the field of play will determine their future not the other way round.
We also had the Chukwus and Udemezue who superstar players ruined.
Siddon look.

I vividly remember trying to lecture some natives here who were clamouring for Oliseh and had been criticizing Keshi for being too sunburn that Oliseh was just as stubborn if not more stubborn than Keshi.

Oliseh looks like he's repeating the same crime that he criticized others of committing in the past.

Comon G4L! You def know better than this!

The events that led to Oliseh's ouster in 2002 is completely different from this...

Abeg , speak for yourself... Nowhere did I ascribe any causation real or imagined to the events

How is Enyeama a hot-head. I am gravely disappointed if this story is true. Oliseh should be very careful cause he will lose this team quicker than he can think of building one for the future.

Bochum FC sack Sunday Oliseh after fight with team mate

Bundesliga side VfL Bochum have sacked Nigerian midfielder Sunday Oliseh following an altercation with a team mate at the end of Saturday's 0-0 home draw with Hansa Rostock.

"Sunday Oliseh has been released from his working duties. The cause are the events after the home game against Hansa Rostock," the club said, declining to give further details.

Media reports said Oliseh clashed with Iranian striker Vahid Hashemian in the Bochum changing rooms.

Speaking about the incident, Hashemian told German news agency SID: "Sunday and I discussed the match on the field. He said 'Why do you always have to dribble'? So I said to him that he was not the trainer or his assistant or the captain.

"After the match, Sunday came up to me in the changing room. We spoke for five seconds, then I suddenly had his head in my face. My nose was broken. I was shocked."

Bochum signed Oliseh, 29, on loan from local rivals Borussia Dortmund in January 2003 and had appeared set to make the move permanent.

However, the midfielder, who has previously played for Juventus, Ajax and FC Cologne, will now return to Dortmund at the end of the season, which is when the loan deal expires.

Oliseh was part of the Nigeria squad that won the African Nations Cup in 1994 and the Olympic title in 1996.

But he fell out of favour with the national team leadership after he led a protest over non-payment of air fare refunds during the African Nations Cup in Mali in February 2002 and was not selected for Nigeria's World Cup squad later that year.
