Tell your leaders to do the right thing all the time. If they do, things would go well for the nation. If you were part of the players, you`d have done the same thing. All of you are fools for condemning Appiah when his work is to prepare the boys only to play and if you don`t satisfy them, what`d you expect from them. The boys didn`t steal from the nation just as your leaders have been doing all the time. They asked for what was due them. Even those that followed them that never stepped their feet on the field to kick a ball were paid, how much more those who did the right thing. Teachers who`re in the classrooms teaching students to be the next generation citizens aren`t paid, how do you expect them to put in more effort in what they do? Your useless parliamentarians, have their salaries been delayed before? NO.

When he didn't stand with the players against that empty suit Afriyie ankrah n onankatechie... He lost the locker room cuz the players saw him as being weak n unable to stand up against authority when the players had been promised three times to no avail. Will never feel sorry for AA cuz that nigga ain't got no balls.

AA has a side guilt because as a Team Manager, you should always protect your Players. But on the other Hand, how are going to protect them if many promises by GFA and Ministry failed to yield. This is a complete mistake by the officials. Indeed, Appiah can not be blamed for what happened but still it is right to sack him to pave way for Kevin and Muntari entering the team again. This two guys are fighters in everyway and one need such players to turn games.

GFA managers like Kwesi Nyantakyi and rest must be forced to sacked to save Black Star.

The government cannot sack Nyantakyi. If he is sacked, FIFA will ban Ghana from world soccer. If you don't want Ghana to play world soccer, then let the gov't fire him. The only way out, sans death, is for GFA to fire him or he loses in an election. The chances are pratically zero.
I don't even see the nees for this Commission. If GFA is independent and receives no money from the government, what will this Commission recommend. It's GFA's money to spend and if they spend it foolishly, that is their problem. As long as the gevernment does not give them any money, thet can do whatever they like with FIFA's money

Sulley Muntari CLINICALLY TREATED Ghana’s serious disease, CORRUPTION. He attacked corrupt NDC'S CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE BUSINESS! !!!--------

Below is what led to the brawl.

Sulley: WHAT IS THE USE OF SOO MANY G.F.A OFFICIALS & OTHERS HERE? You Are Basically Non-Essential and have no role or duties here. Your Number even dwarf that of the players... You receive Bonuses for no work done. You are a drain on the Govt.... You always make money on our back and you see every Tournament as a means to make money.... And You Have The Vim to question us why we want our money?

Moses Armah: Your money will come take time, the captain is speaking….

Sulley: Shut up, are you the one paying the money or you are the Prez?

Moses Armah: I won’t allow you to include me in your list of victims oo…..I'm a gangster more than you.

Sulley: So you can fight me eh (moving towards Moses’ direction disentangling himself from other guys retraining him).

Moses Armah: Am ready for you. You think i'm a coward?

Sulley: (picks a bottle and drop it, surprisingly jumps and slaps Moses) Fuck you!!

Moses: Returns the slap with a blow lifts a fork…and Jonathan Mensah holds Moses’ hand up.

Essien sits quietly, Gyan and Appiah speak Ga to Sulley, calming him down as Moses is whisked away by Saban Quaye

You speak like a typical idiot. Who told you they got bonuses for the last game? Why should Nyantakyi go to jail? For not choosing Desailly who has not even coached a colts team as Blackstars coach, moron?

How can the same system that failed Kwasi Appiah turn round and blame him for the poor performance of his team? The system that failed him make him into a scape goat. Let us turn the tables around - Reinstate Akwasi Appiah and Sack Akwesi Nyantakyi, Elvis, etc,. etc! That is the only way forward.

Even with 100 dollar notes, counting to 1,000 on the eve of a major game and making sure your money is safe, will definitely affect a player's concentration.

I agree 100% with Justice Dzamefe. Just cast your mind back and see how Coach Appiah qualified the Black Stars for the tournament in the first place. He is a good coach and could have done better than what he achieved with the team in Brazil had systems worked for him. He is definitely not to blame. If it was a white man coach, the appearance fee would have been paid before the tournament. He should not be the only one to leave. Those responsible for this must receive much more severe punishment

AA did not stuns the Commission as the GNA reporter claims. First of all, the Commission led AA had his way by not asking him in what denomination the players were paid which consumed their time in counting the money. Assuming the money came in $100 Bills the $100,000 will be just (10) packets which will take less than 1-hour to count them. Unless the money were in $1.00 bills or .50cents (coins) which I will buy to AA's crap.

Taking AA's nonsense and his poor coaching skills which affected the players ambition, The President and his Cabinet who decided on sending the money to Brazil are all fools and short-minded individuals. This nonsense could have been avoided in the first place had competent people been put in right places to work for mother Ghana.

Mr. Mahama could have asked the stupid Afriyie-Ankrah and the loud-mouthed Nyantakyi to collect the players Bank Accounts (either foregin or local) prior to their departure or when they were in Brazil demanding their appearance fees to make transfer and advised each one of them either by Mr. Mahama himself or his Finance Minister to avoid the rudicle which these do-nothing people caused the entire nation.

Justice Dzamefe is to know that, not only the system failed AA, but he caused his own downfall in our first match with USA. Who in his right mind would go and face an opponent who had vowed to revenge 2- previous defeats by side-lining his experience players till the die is cast before? C'mon Justice, don't side with AA. He caused his own downfall. E&OE.

If this is a fact finding commission why is the chairman acting or speaking as if he is the lead counsel for Akwasi Appiah? He as the coach and leader of the team could not even shield the players from the bunch of useless hanger-ons. He was part of the gang that was always lying to us about the problems going on. The Mumu, clueless passive coach was only concerned about his pay check. If he wasn't fired, could he be talking today? So much for being his own person.

How can you keep appearance fee $100,000 each in dressing in another country? Fools, where Appiah and Dzamefe were expecting the players to keep the money? Or Dzemefe don`t know the players were paid in Brazil and Brazil is not part Ghana. Appiah had no tendency to work with the players period. That was his squad and line up. Nobody instructed Appiah to have it on with key players and benched them.
