Kingson is a disrespectful ingrate- Grunsah

Bankroller of King Faisal Football Club, Alhaji Karim Grunsah, has described Black Stars’ goal keeper, Richard Kingson, as a disrespectful and ungrateful person.

His criticism comes on the heels of Kingson’s call up into the Black Stars’ 25-man squad ahead of the world Cup playoffs against Egypt on October 15.

Although he strongly defends Kingson’s call up, despite the deluge of criticisms from sports fans, Grunsah, nonetheless says he has a personal problem with ‘Olele’, as Richard Kingson is popularly called.

He told Moro Awudu on the XYZ Breakfast Show on Thursday that Olele has failed to show appreciation to him, despite securing a contract for the agile goalkeeper and two other national players, in the past, for a move to Turkish club Galatasaray.

According to him, “I secured a contract for Richard Kingson and Stephen Appiah to Galatasaray and can you believe he ignores me anytime he sees me?”

“I know his father and the family very well and I did not expect him to do that but I still pray for him even though I am disappointed with him”, Grunsah bemoaned.

Kingson makes a return to the Black Stars after a two-year absence.

Critics, including former Ghana Football Association President, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, are strongly against his inclusion in the 25-man team.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe told Nana Kwaku Agyemang on Sports Chat on Radio XYZ on Wednesday that Kingson is too old and has lost his reflexes.
