Akwasi Appiah has disappointed me - Abedi Pele

Abedi Pele says he is disappointed in Ghana coach Akwasi Appiah in the wake of the premature retirement of his sons from the Black Stars.
Andre and Jordan Ayew have ruled themselves out of Ghana’s crucial 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sudan with their return still not known.
While Andre says he needs more time to recover from an ‘emotional and psychological’ setback following some problems with the Black Stars management, Jordan assured he will certainly return soon but will not be available for the March 24 game in Kumasi.
The Marseille duo’s iconic father, Abedi Pele in a new twist, without giving details, now says coach Akwasi Appiah has been a disappointment.
“I am friends with everyone including Akwasi Appiah,” he said.
“But if you have a friend who has disappointed you, what do you do?”
Opinions have been sharply divided since news broke of the temporal retirement of the Ayews.
The Ghana FA has since made overtures to have the Marseille duo rescind their decision in order to feature for the Black Stars.
Despite the Ayew brothers ruling themselves out of an immediate return, the GFA insists their response have been favourable.
