Is that the only person who could fill that post? an ex-convict, wee-smooking Jamaican in my view is not the right choice.
Was Rawlings instrumental to his coming?

Listen, the truth must be said, we do have fitness trainers in Ghana but I can tell you that like in anything else, they don't have the international required standards nor the work ethic to train the BS. This Lawrence guy may not have the best moral CV but as a sports man who has played in the EPL, he will do a better job than any local guy. Our work ethic in the UK is completely different from that in Ghana.

Any Ghanaian P.E teacher or soldier could serve as a fitness trainer. Why do we have to pay a foreigner for this?
This is very fucked up.

Of emptying the GFA`a coffers! Let`s face it, how much benefit are these players who ply their trade for highly established top-notch pro football teams going to get, in such a short period of time,to a make this 'investement' wortwhile? As you point out,any 'no-nonsense' Drill Sgt.from either Police or the Army,would have done the 'trick'!

"Mr. BOLD LETTERS man", write about soccer, and stop all these unnecessary comments about GHFUO you have been posting. Just go and read something about soccer and post your comments, so that we can also learn from you.

I'm very much surprised that Ghana, one of those few countries educating ppl as Sports and Exercise Therapists would now opt for an ex- player to be in charge of Black stars fitness. Hmmm,The whole world is watching.

Which one of you has never sin should cast the first stone? Let alone judge a man by their past. The fact that he has been mentoring young kids to stay away from crime and help get them into football fell deaf ears. This guy is a well known personal trainer for many big premier league footballers, so yes he is more than qualified!! It is us that have look at ourselves and ask how come we can get a competent trainer and coach for our black stars? We failed with Kwesi Appiah, so let's groom a comptetent coach and trainer that would get the job done for us.

This bull shit. You don't commit crime serve time and mentor any body. The bible quotation do not apply here. The Military has better personal trainers than this ex-convict.

Shut up and don`t talk any shit! You were all through for Akwasi Appiah to be sacked and now we couldn`t get any one than Avram Grant. First, the GFA has hidden his pay to us. Second,Grant is sending an African team to camp in the temperates even though the tournament is in tropical Africa! Third,he needs an extra security,and fourth,he needs an imported fitness trainer! Next,he is going to ask for an imported jersey carrier! B`cos he is white Kwesi Nyantakyi and his clues are scared of him and have to do all that he asks.Akwasi Appiah did not get all these b`cos he had heart for his nation but you did not like him even though he did his best!!! Let us see if with all these incentives Avram Grant is going to bring the Afcon cup to Ghana! All is Bullshit and fucked up in Ghana!!!!! We are still sleeping in DARKNESS and look at where the Gov`t is wasting our money!!!

Is GFA telling us that there is no fitness trainer in Ghana who can train the Black Stars? The President is telling us to buy made in Ghana goods ( and for that matter services as well), so how come GFA and the Parliament seem to ignore the honorable appeal of President Mahama? With all the armed robbery cases in Ghana, do we have to reinforce it by hiring a foreigner with a record of bank robbery?

Ghana need Ghanamade goods. So Ghana a population of 25 milo/ Ghana cant get a trainer to do the job rather than wasting the tax payers money on foreign, coaches, trainers etc. Hey Guys I tell you it doesn't matter where Ghana pick up trainers and coachers and elsewhere, even from the camp of Ghana if the players themselves never push they render to nothing. These people are coming in to misuse our money. Authorities grow up and stop wasting our coins.

This is a disgrace of nature. After our world cup fiasco, now this. We go and hire a ganja smoking, armed robber, ex-convict. GFA (and Ghana by extension) is full of shit. Watch our players get stoned before they hit the soccer pitch and scoring in their own net while on the pitch.
