Rawpidgin: why is GEJ being blamed for nigeria's predicament? dumb & naive question, dont u think?

phil5: nor they hurry to comment, u hear? Thanks ;Dnor they hurry to comment, u hear? Thanks

Swaginton: (frankly I don't believe manchester united should be given the privilege of being tagged as manchester city's rivals). ^^^ op, what are insinuating by this? As for the topic, coaches are paid to manage teams to achieve victory, anything short of that is questionable.

Swaginton: Yesterday was perhaps a historic day in the world of English football.am not just talking about the mauling of manchester united by their rivals,manchester city(frankly I don't believe manchester united should be given the privilege of being tagged as manchester city's rivals).

It was also the last day paulo di canio presided as sunderland's manager.poor canio*sighs.

Anyways,as I woke up to be greeted by the shocking yet expectant news of his sack while I was still recovering from d harsh reality of man u's game yesterday.

I began to wonder;why is the coach always the first to be blamed?.moyes himself is already under immense pressure.don't the players themselves have any sense of responsibility?.I personally believe(I stand to be corrected though) that sometimes players put up underwhelming performances either to get their coaches sacked or to force their out of their clubs so why are the coaches always at the receiving end?

2ru-talk:
Very nice question. i have been pondering on this as well. I can remember vividly when Yakubu Ayegbeni missed one terrible goal when the net was 100% open and the goal keeper was no way to be found. Could the Coach equally have been blamed for such terrible finishing. Even a blind man would have scored that goal. The marginal Propensity to succeed in a match is a function of concerted efforts of both the Players and the Coach.

Afam4eva:

Why should a coach have an incompetent player in his team in the first place? It's the duty of the coach to get the very best legs for his team and also bring out the best in his players even if they're above average players. If that's not the duty of a coach then i wonder what is. Else, teams will be playing without coaches.

k10: same reason you blame jonathan nigeria's woes?

groovie:

bros no be coach dey release money to get the best legs. An example is the massive exodus of strikers from laliga to other leagues where they offer bigger pay.the coach can only manage the situation.

eph12: So who are mancity rivals exactly? And about your question am going to ask if you blame GEJ for Nigeria's present situation. Thanks.

leggo: this op is a MUMU. so the most sucessful club in england is not big enough to rival a club who rise to the top issnt old enuff to be in nursery school?? chai

Afam4eva:
By "best legs", i meant relatively the resources that they have. If you want to buy a players for $60 million, be very sure that the player is worth that much and not waste the money for a player that won't add a $60 million value to the team.

Swaginton: I had the option of reporting you for disobeying rule 2 bt ild rather reply your question..we are in the present and if we start talkin about past achievements then I think liverpool should be seen in the same class of barca or realmadrid...let's face it,presently,mancity has more abilTy to attract top players their clubs than man u,the last tranfer window can testify to that

mooregan: I don't think some1 should still blame a coach on d incompetence of Danny Welbeck. That guy has played under Mighty Sir A. Ferguson and now under Moyes but there is no tangible improvement in him. I know some pple will tell me her marks for ball, but let's not 4get that a strikers main objective is to score.

Swaginton: as goal.com rightly said,man u are at best a top four team..they don't have the grit to challenge for the title and I believe only few in this thread would disagree..even man u fans!..PERSONALLY,chelsea are a better rival..even arsenal,tottenham and liverpool seem to be ahead of them in the running..ultimately thou,everyone is entitled to their opinion

bad meat: I dey come,make I ask onigbinde!
