If true, it means now we can have a realistic discussion about the back up plan.
Nothing focusses the mind more than a dose of reality.

Who takes over?

reality is better than what Rohr has been dishing to us.

Boss, but what is that reality, before we know whether it is better or not?

[ohenhen1]

Pitso on a contract untill the end of the world cup would be an okay hire. Got to get the backroom staff hire right.

[bamenda boy]

Africans doing the same ish over and over but expecting different results.

[chief nfachairman]

I say Amuneke

Amune what????

[chief nfachairman]

My opinion. No local based coach is good enough for this role. I have dealt with ALOT of them this year, even going to their training sessions and they know nothing.

My best bet is finidi but he just started coaching pro-football. Maybe ndubuisi Egbo?

The reality is that Rohr is doing just enough i.e. My contract says we should qualify, I have qualified.

[mcal]

$500k... Rohr is the winner here.

...isn't that the whole idea? Pay the man what you owe him, and move on.

Anyway, until we hear it from the 'horse's mouth' aka Piknic thn una can start jubilation.

The last one won the AFCON after similar comments were made upon his appointment. People also said that Gareth Southgate was rubbish. We need a coach with African experience, whether local or foreign. I would go for Pitso or Amuneke.

The NFF should still try to negotiate the money down.

This one pain you sha...

Why not? If true, e pain me too. I did not want to be discussing his sack at this time. I wanted to have a little moan about his "playing style" while still saying that he should stay on. But recent games have sadly put me on the "Rohr out" side.

Damunk is correct that reality after Rohr's sack will not be easy. But we don't have much to lose...we were on course for disaster with him anyway.

Damunk is not right and never has been right as far as ****

Gareth came into an FA and structure that had changed significantly.

The old FA did not believe in u-17 or u-21 teams, the new FA believes in the u-17 and u-21 teams and St George's Park helped the development of these teams.

The old FA believed in players in premiership, especially those in the top 6 clubs and it reflected how coaches picked their 1st XI and how they played.

Gareth believes in choosing the best players per position. He has also successfully blended in young players and players from the u-17 and u-21 into the national team. This led to his successes.

[kalani JR]

This is foolish for several reasons.

1. Unless we fail to qualify for Qatar Rohr cannot be sacked until after the AFCON, he has currently has fulfilled all goals.
2. If we fail to win the AFCON, a new manager will have nine months at best to get used to the team, in which he would only play on the weekend of March 26th and September 24th.

We risk making the same mistakes as we did in 1998, 2002 and 2010.

$500k... Rohr is the winner here.

Sure keep telling yourself that. How much do you think we will make by winning nations cup and going far in the world cup. You guys are too shortsighted. Imagine someone looking at 500k as big money

[Mr. Piffington]

Wow. NFF really have to get this next hire VERY RIGHT. In my opinion, forget the foreign journeymen. I say ex international.

Just hire someone who's good and will get the team playing like an actual team.

Amuneke has youth football experience and like Gareth he has worked with a few of the players at U-17 level.

[bushboy]

I really hope they don't give this to Amunike!! His record at the senior level has been dismal! And his teams play a horribly disjointed style. Even his U-17 team depended more on individual brilliance than team play. We need to give this to a young, fresh mind. A man no older that 45. A man up to date with modern and innovative football tactics. A man in the mold of a Julian Nagelsmann. NFF I beg you!!! Get this right!!!!!

[delisyomie don]

NA WHA FOR THOSE PEOPLE ASKING ROHR TO BE SACK! NIGERIAN GOVERMENT DONT GIVE MONKEY ABOUT THERE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL.GUYS !! WE ARE NOT EUROPE OR MAN U OR ARSNANL OR BERCELONA THAT CAN JUST FIRE COACH ,WHO ARE YOU BRINGING IN THIS KIND OF SHORT PERIOD OF TIME?? LET THE MAN GO TO NATION CUP AND SEE, EVEN IF WE MANAGE TO QUALIFIER FOR WORLD CUP WE ALWAYS COME OUT OF FIRST ROUND MOST OF TIME.

[Robbynice]

Coach Yobo is already in the setup. You might as well give it to him

Who? Cmon man!!!!

[Purity]

Nigeria could pay as much #$% N600m If decides to sack Gernot Rohr.

[ohenhen1]

Yobo is not experienced enough to handle a team that has few weeks to play at a major tournament and then play world up qualifiers inMarch against a top 10 African side. Nigria is facing an uphill task. Unforced errors along the way. The hard truth is most likely we wont do well at Afcon. we may qualify for the World cup.
