Both the GFA and the Coach need to go. The BS don't have a striker and Dancer Asamoah Gyan is not fit to be Black Stars Captain. We need a coach who can read the game and make the right changes and not the one who called people to Black Stars simply because they have certain or peculiar names. World Cup is looming with its potential danger of losing out.

Nyantakyi is a dud who has out-lived his usefulness to Ghana football. He must be replaced without any delay, else the Black Stars will surely deteriorate into a mediocre national team. Kwasi Appiah does not have what it takes to create and manage a winning team. The intellect is just not there.

I disagree with the critics. I applaud Coach Appiah for introducing so many young players who played extremely well. We now have new players who can compete with our established players at every position. Most of the problems came from the older players getting tired as the tournament went on. Losing out on penalties to the Burkina team is nothing to be ashamed of. They have now beaten us 6 times, most of them under foreign coaches.

NIGERIA TO WIN AFCON CUP SEVEN TIMES!!!

Nigeria will keep the AFCON Cup for a very very long time before Ghana ever think of smelling it. With or without your 'juju' we shall keep the CUP with the power of Holy Ghost on our side, and Jesus Christ, our "keeper" shall 'KEEP' the AFCON CUP for us, for a very very long time.

(AFCON CUP TO BE JOINED BY "WORLD CUP" very soon). 'Super Eagles' of Nigeria, shall soon become "World Champions" very soon in Jesus mighty name, Amen. (It is settled in heaven). I really mean business, and with very 'POWERFUL PRAYERS' for the 'SUPER EAGLES' of Nigeria, and the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth on our side, VICTORY IS OURS. This is no joke! No weapon, (like 'Ghana JUJU'), fashion against us shall prosper. Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

Therefore, you Ghana people should stop dreaming of laying your hands on that Cup for a very very LOOOOONG TIME. All of you Naija HATERS can go to HELL.

I AM YOUR NEMESIS.

Can the coach explain what he is going to do for a change? His team and strategy obviously will not work. Plus I dont't think the BS have won decisively against any good team yet.

Let me reiterate. How many matches had Dauda, Awal, Asante, Atsu, Akaminko, Rabiu, Wakaso and Clottey played for BS before Coach Appiah took over? When was the last time you saw Ghana playing with wing-backs like Asante and K. Asamoah? You want to keep winning by playing the same players over and over again? No sir.

If we are patient with Coach Appiah, he will find a number of player combinations to compete against various opponents. That was missing in the era of the Serbian coaches who I otherwise liked. They had great players to work with and still could not win a Cup.

Remember that players like Essien, Sulley, Stephen Appiah and Kevin Boateng come around once in a generation. You need to let them rest when they are past their peak. If we get into a do or die situation in World Cup qualifier, you can always call them back. But don't expect them to come and win 6 match tournaments for you...they are past that. Let them continue making money for their retirement accounts now.

What worries me more is our inability to come back from behind. Our teams can't seem to find a way to increase pressure without opening up big holes at the back. That is a major tactical flaw that must be fixed otherwise we will concede a lot of second half goals against stronger teams or when we fall behind.

AMEN, brother! I totally agree with your sentiments. Ivory Coast has the current Africn Footballer of the year, (Yaya Toure), one of the best strikers in the world (Drogba) as well as world class stars like Kalou and Kolo Toure and they didn't even make it to the finals. I guess if they were Ghanaians, we would be calling for the coach to go to prison or face the firing squad!
Come on, people, be realistic. This is 2013 and all countires have made great strides in soccer. Don't expect Ghana to win any tournament we enter because we won't. Not even Brazil wins all the time. Spare yourselves a heart attack and stomach ulcers and lighen up a bit. The team is young and we can improve. While ther are lessons we need to learn, we must stop basing the coach and GFA. It does not help anyone. Long live the Ghana Black Stars. We will shine again!

When in distress, people get myopic and can't think and see well. Kwasi Appiah is not the real problem, but the overpaid and super egomaniac foreign-based players. Nearly 95% of the Black Stars players play abroad and being well coached by some of the experienced coaches in the World and they also enjoy some of the best soccer facilities.

If these players can’t rely on their skills and the good coaching they receive abroad, then why blame any coach whether Appiah or the Serbian AZONTOLESS high paid, but underperforming coaches? True, nobody wins all the time and the true fact about all competitive sports in today’s world is:

"Every country is CATCHING UP on tactics, speed, teamwork,” etc., etc., and so UNDERESTIMATING some teams could be done at those fools’ peril. I played soccer myself in college and to first division level in Ghana before I left and at the height of my game, I wrongly underestimated some teams some of which gave my team/s HELL in some contests and ever since I've sworn never to underestimate any team. Even if you give me 4-year olds to play against, I will score 1,001 goals and not letting up—even if all their parents jump onto the field--because you will never know when they will get their mojo to strike back.

What seems disturbing to me is the "arrogance and showboating" of our foreign-based players because of the money they make outside Ghana. They should be humbled, as the 2010 World Cup Soccer in South Africa and the two past AFCON disappointments have shown. All what Kwasi Appiah should do are primarily four things: (1) How to build a good teamwork with all these scattered players; (2) How to critically strategize against opponents; (3) When and how to change players during games; and (4) The task of developing good winning tactics.

Completely agree with this opinion. The major lesson is our older players cannot be called upon to play 4 or more matches in a row against speedy talent that we see at major tournaments. We need a mix to talent with many youngsters in the mix so that nobody has to play every match of the tournament. It is true of the goalkeepers as well. If nothing else, opponents figure out your moves and play to your weaknesses. Good job on player development, Coach Appiah but listen to your tactical advisers as well.

And the four things you want Appiah to do next time could have been done by other better ghanaian coaches so forget it the man needs to be fired

Is the GFA blind or power drunk. I am beginning to doubt they even watched the tournament. in the past years, this turns out to be a sinking performance from the black stars. Is the future of the black stars going to be jeopardized by failure of the GFA to recognize the obvious. I prefer the black Stars to play good football and yet fail to bring the cup than as poorly as they did. during the world cup 2006 and 2010 I and the 2012 afcon I was heartbroken when they failed to progress because they played good football, however, in the just ended AFCON I at a point felt the Burkinabese where hard done by. They played far better than us and I expected them to win hence it did not come as a surprise to me they won. If changes are not made I don't foresee Ghana qualifying to the world cup, I better stop planning towards it. Sometimes I feel sorry to say I'm a Ghanaian when asked where I'm from, just because many in authority act like they are uneducated and do not use common sense. I just hope the GFA is not taking such a stupid decision because they will benefit financially from it. For those on this page supporting the acts of the GFA blindly be made aware that most of the political decisions made by the GFA is not for the gain of the country but for their own pockets. BE WISE

Are you telling me the performance from the 2006 AFCON squad, which consisted of Stephen Appiah, Laryea Kingston, John Mensah, and the rest, with the exception of Muntari and Essien, was better than the performance from this 2013 squad? If your respond is yes then all I could say is, "You must be joking". That team lost to Zimbabwe in the group stage and for that matter couldn't make it to even the quarter-finals.

In this tournament, Burkina Faso led its group, which was group 'C' and Nigeria came second from this same group. Burkina Faso managed to get to the finals by beating us. When you compare this Burkina Faso team to the 2006 Zimbabwe team that took care of the Black Stars, then, you should at least come out with something good this 2013 squad brought to the table.

Yes, our Black Stars performed not so well but I don't think they did that bad compared to the quality of players at our possession. If you will tell the truth, you will conclude that, in our matches, we couldn't get players to hold on to possessions. This is an indication of nervousness and inexperience. Players at all departments couldn't have the confidence to keep possessions. The team is under construction. We have to be a little calm in during such a process.

I for one think the chance given to Appiah to keep his post is a good one. We will benefit from it. He just need a refreshing course in terms of how to rotate players, how and when to substitute, and how to map his games. The coach needs help and no one can give it to him but, you and I, the citizens of the country.

I usually enjoys your objective point of view on this forum, but in this instance I simply disagree with your assertions. To state that the reasons black stars under performed was nervousness and lack of experience is utterly nonsense. You don't remove your best penalty taker in the dying minutes of major tournament when it was quite obvious that the game was heading for a penalty shoot out. You don't play your best playmaker in left back when there are qualified players for that position. You don't omit some of your best players for a tournament just because you have personality issues with them. You don't disrespect your reliable goalkeeper because you wanted to try something new. I can go on and on. The simply truth of the matter is that the coach is inexperience and lacks the wisdom to coach a national team such as the Black Stars.

I didn't know why the coach did that but later I discovered that Wakaso got hurt and could continue the game. Pulling a thigh muscle wouldn't have helped the player to score a penalty. An evidence was brought to scene when this same player missed a penalty that would have given us an opportunity to win the third place in this same tournament.

Therefore, what makes you think that if Wakaso was to be left to continue the Burkina Faso match, he would have been able to score his penalty?

"You don't play your best playmaker in left back when there are qualified players for that position." Cornell mentioned.

For this point, I can't disagree with you. He made a mistake. I noticed and mentioned that when he first experimented it during the match against Congo DR. You are right on point there.

"You don't omit some of your best players for a tournament just because you have personality issues with them." Cornell hit a wrong note!"

Where did you get this idea from? Who said he has a contention of bone with any of the players? I may have missed the memo. Could you please lead me to that source and I will back you up next time this issue comes out. Do you have any evidence as the coach omitted a player or players based on his relationship with them? I will be waiting for your response on this one. Please come back.

"You don't disrespect your reliable goalkeeper because you wanted to try something new." Cornell mentioned.

Bro, I lost with this statement you brought out. What do you mean by that? Can you please help me understand that? Are you talking about Adam Kwarassey and Dauda? Is that what I think you're implying? If that is what you mean, then let me ask you few questions. I will need answers from you though, so come back with them.

Q # 1: Didn't Duadu do well in the tournament? From a scale of 1 to 10 whereby 10 is the highest, where do you place him in terms of his performances in this tournament alone?

Q # 2: How many saves did Duada make? Do you remember? I read the statistics from cafonline.com. Would you agree with me that if it wasn't his numerous saves, we couldn't have been able to make it out through the group stage?

Q # 3: Did you consult Kwarrasey's club record before the tournament? Do you know how many goals he let in during the season with his club?

Adam himself knew he wasn't in form prior to the tournament. Contact me and I could give you his contacts to ask him. Kofifrempong@yahoo.com. He was pleased with the performances of his competitor and I could assure you that.

"The simply truth of the matter is that the coach is inexperience and lacks the wisdom to coach a national team such as the Black Stars." Cornell's last statement.

I do agree with you that Appiah has no experience and lacks the technique to coach a national team. I also know that the amount he is receiving during building of this team is the cheapest we could get. Not that we already have the team and need an expensive coach to take us to the next level. We don't have the team. Any coach that will come in position right now would be building like Appiah is doing, though, will charge us three time what Appiah is charging us. We were complaining about the country not having the money to hire another foreign coach. Therefore, where do you expect us to get and get that amount to give to a coach who would be doing the same thing Appiah is doing?

Are you telling me the coach instructed them not to try and keep possessions? If not, then why these players could keep possessions of the ball? Why the midfield department broke down during all the matches we played with the exception of the Niger match? To me, I didn't see any experienced performances in any of the players. The defenders were just kicking the balls out instead of trying to keep the balls. When doing that, the pressure kept pilling on them.

Inexperience is what I could come out with. Therefore, even though, I agree with you on couple of your points, I do disagree with you on most.

Come back

Atte Nyimpuo, Meeewuradze Nyankopon Oh my God this is the most stupid decision Kwasi Nyantakyi and his GFA had ever made. He came here and admitted that the team perform poorly. Would Kwasi Nyantakyi had said the same thing if the Coach was not a Ghanaian, had not played for Kotoko? Kwasi Nyantakyi had build his GFA Presidency on the Black Star, nothing is working in Ghana football our numbers to African league had been cut back his only success is two world cup appearance the man must go.

Who said Slimzee mentioned anything about 2006 AFCON? I guess you rather have ti go back and re-read my comments for you missed the mark.

Below was what Slimzee said, "in the past years, this turns out to be a sinking performance from the black stars." Mr. N, did you read this statement from Slimzee?

That was why I brought in the 2006 AFCON squad performance in comparison to that of the 2013 squad performance. Therefore, go back and read it again.

"Is the future of the black stars going to be jeopardized by failure of the GFA to recognize the obvious." Here was Slimzee's another comment he made.

Here is my question. From that 2006 AFCON poor performance, what happened to that squad during the 2006 WC? How did you see that team in their first time in the WC? This is what I want you and Slimzee to realized that for the fact that the 2013 squad didn't do that well in the AFCON, that doesn't mean they would continue to perform poor in the coming tournaments. That was why I brought in the 2006 squad and its fluctuated performances.

Appiah is staying whether you like it or not and so is the GFA. You advocated for the coach and the job was given to him. Now you want him to be fired. Where we you when Duya flopped so bad during the 2006 AFCON? Why wasn't he fired? Can you answer me that?

Give Appiah a break.

Duya was hired and task to qualify us to world cup everyone in Ghana included President Kuffour did not care about AFCON it happens that we qualified for both. At the press b/4 and after Egypt he pointed that out to everyone. If we had qualified and failed to make it Germany 2006 he would not have been the one to lead us. These are facts. Beside that why are looking back you expect your kids yourself and your friends to do better. We did poorly at AFCON 06, moved up 08, got better 2010, drop the bar at 2012 and repeated the same 2013 this is not progress.

Slimzay, Should a new coach be hired for spain at their performance now and he fails to deliver do you think we will keep his job? any football analyst will agree to the fact that Ghana were meerly lucky to have gotten as far as we did, because it was a really poor show. Certain penalties we had in other circumstances may be ignored. yes in 2006 we did not qualify from the group stages, but look at the trend, 2006 worldcup round of 16, 2008 Afcon 3rd, 2010 Afcon 2nd, 2010 worldcup quarter finals, 2012 Afcon 4th with a better display, 2013 Afcon 4th with a terrible display. When you plot the curve how does it look like. We are already struggling to qualify for the worldcup 2014. I Don't mind having a local coach but if he underperforms he ought to be changed. Can you pinpoint a particular technical decision that AA did which he should be applauded for? Match after match we criticized decisions he made. I was in flight that is why i'm now responding to this. Hope you do see it and give me your opinion. But in my opinion, I have seen better Ghanaian Coaches that AA.

First of all, if his term in Office is not expired, with fifa as the back-bone of the football organisation, you can't remove him out of office. This is the reason of reading the fifa rules and its regulations.

Secondly, you stated he is killing Ghana Black Stars. What are your reasons? Are you basing your reasons on the Black Stars' poor performance from 2013 AFCON tournament? Is that all or you do have more reasons because I'm dying to know your side of the story?

It this coming from your ability in evaluating the football system in the country or is coming from your emotion?

jp, my brother, I believe you are making decisions based on your emotions and i don'y blame you for going through that. I'm boiling in here as well for our team didn't perform that well. If you go back to my comments, when Appiah was made the head coach, you will realize that I was one of the people who didn't agree with the decision of handing the higher seat to Kwasi Appiah as the coach. I was the one who gave him 10yrs to come into the big scene because I didn't believe he could have made it in six of eight years. I mean, I thought it was going to take 10 years for Appiah to become a good coach.

However, when the post was given to him, I questioned that decision but later gave up. I gave up because I was willing to give him the chance to learn from his mistakes and with what I'm seeing, he is learning fast from his mistakes though went back and made the same mistake he made in the first match against DR Conger, when John Pantsil got hurt during our Burkina Faso's encounter. I didn't have confidence in him in terms of how to map his games and how to rotate his players and I still don't because he came out short in these areas of coaching. Moreover, all the test I set for him to pass for me to gain confidence in him, he failed.

In the process of all these, though, I discovered something in him. He is strict, meaning when he say something, he stands by it. Secondly, when he fails, he has the decency to apologize. This shows humility and few coaches and even few human beings obtain this quality. How many coaches have we seen apologizing to the public after a poor performance. Fourth, he has demonstrated that he has the vision to build. In other words, he gives chances to even the un-noticed.

I have no clue who are the agents for Solomon Asante and Dauda, but if I were these agents, these players wouldn't be playing in the Glo Premiership anymore. Their clips would have been everywhere in the four major leagues in the world. All I'm saying is, Appiah discovered these players and, therefore, has demonstrated something most of us didn't know he had.

With this, my confidence level in him to build a team is at least at its higher lever. Contrary, my question is can he take an already built squad to the next level? This is my dilemma and I believe most people are struggling with it too.

Here is another case of study, if we refused to give him the opportunity to build, we may end up paying another coach big money, I mean three times of what Appiah is making, to build something Appiah is already doing. Would that be good thing to do? Think about it, bro.

The above statement alone does it whatever you are saying does not matter how can one who is learning fast go back and make the same mistake the simple answer is he not learning anything.

We all know your predictions on Appiah came to pass. Remember, at least the "Nyame boame soccer"" took us to the semis. I for one agrees with Nyantakyi to keep Appiah as the head coach of our senior national team. We shouldn't dream of paying any foreigner so much money to do this job. Let's work on our local coaches. It might take sometime but remember, Rome was not built in a day. "Nkakra nkakra"and we'll surely get there. Over reliance on foreign coaches is the reason why Ghana is lacking very good coaches now hence, the need to start all over again. Need to raise some more C.K. Gyamfi's, Osam Duodoo's, Sunday Ibrahim to mention but a few. Keeping Appiah is a perfect signs of good hope for the future of our game.

We need all hands on deck . AYEW BROTHERS, MUNTARI, kWARASEY back in goal. Remember its really going to be tough , thiis is not the time to be playing politics with our soccer team. NO NO NO, Unless we want to end up like Ivory Coast. And APPIAH AKWASI, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GROW SOME BALLS ( IN CAPITAL) pick your own team andmake your own selection. I get your answer will be , they pay my salary and gave me this position how can i be ungrateful? No you not, you have to do what is right even if it means they get rid of you. I GUESS THATS THE GHANA WAY, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO. Did you really have the BALLS to kick both Ayews off the team. Nope that was not made by you, making a point which made no sense made me sick in the stomach. Listen if you want to.

"THE BLACK STARS PEFORMED POOLY AND FINISHED 4TH" HERE IS THE COMPLACENCY SICKNESS WITH GHANAIANS, WE ALWAYS THINK WE SHOULD WIN, BUT HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE? IF 4TH OUT OF 16 COUNTRIES WE ARE SAYING THEY PERFORMED POORLY THEN GOD SAVE US. AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE STILL CHASING ONE TROPHY FOR 3 DECADES WITHOUT SUCCESS. TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND THAT IS WHY BURKINA FASO CAN NOW BEAT GHANA, MALI, ZAMBIA AND SO ON. TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND SO TODAY SPAIN CAN BEAT BRAZIL, GERMANY, ARGENTINA, ENGLAND ALL CAN ALL BEAT BRAZIL SIMPLY BECAUSE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND EVERY COUNTRY HAS TRIED TO CATCH UP WITH MODERN STANDARDS IN FOOTBALL. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A "GHANA MUST WIN" APPROACH, RATHER, WE SHOULD HOPE AND WISH THE BEST FROM OUR PLAYERS.

IF WE WANT TO QUALIFY FOR BRAZIL IN 2014 THEN I SUGGEST COACH APPIAH PAYS ATTENTION TO THE ATTACKING LINE. HE SHOULD CALL DOMINC ODURO AND OWUSU ABEYIE TO THE PRESENT GROUP. WE MUST STOP THE DEFENSIVE STYLE OF PLAYING WHERE WE STILL KEEP ONE MAN AT THE FRONT. OVER TO YOU.

It is a good idea to have a local coach for black stars but the GFA must first do their homework well; make sure any local coach is adequately trained and prepared before putting the person on the job.

Like him vert much he is cool guy and we all used to live Yaboah together, but job is not the same as like. So you being a GFA boss you should be able to tell us something meaningful than what you are saying. You(GFA boss) too make sure Ghana gets tall and huge players, that's what the Burkina Faso and Mali used to beat us, huge players.STOP using little players that you think they are good.

THE SAME APPLIES TO MARCEL DESAILLY WHO IS OF GA EXTRACTION.

IF THIS SAME KWASI APPIAH WAS THE SECOND IN COMMAND WHEN GHANA PERFORMMED ABYSMALLY IN THE TWO PREVIOUS WORLD CUPS AND AFCON CUPS, IT FOLLOWS THAT HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER TO IMPROVE THE BLACK STARS FUTURE PERFORMANCE IN VITAL INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS.

KWESI NYANTAKYI IS A CORRUPT TRIBAL BIGOT, AND HIS CONDUCT MIRRORS THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF THE ENTIRE GHANA LEADERSHIP.

THAT'S WHY GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO STAY WHERE WE ARE.

AS LONG AS THERE'S NO PUNISHMENT FOR UNDERPERFORMANCE IN GHANA, MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO WILL CONTINUE TO FIND GHANA IN THE MESS WE'VE FOUND OURSELVES IN.

When you have a national premier league performing below the 1978 national colts soccer program, how do you expect a sub-standard national league to compete in a more organized and competitive soccer league system.
The way our local teams are managed or run is arcane and crude. Sports is now a big business with investors and responsible stake holders. Teams like Kotoko, Hearts, Olympics etc need to be reorganized to meet the standard that is presently practiced across the world. If not countries like Vanuatu, Bhutan, Nepal and Papua New Guinea will beat us to the game we love and passionate about.

Personally, I don’t know and have never met this character Kwasi Nyantakyi, however, he strikes me as an arrogant bully, full of disdain and disrespect for the tax-payers (in this case the Ghanaian people) who pay his salary. Instead of being contrite and apologetic for the poor performances of his appointed coach Akwasi Appiah, he’s busy dictating to the nation what his ward’s faith is going to be, regardless of public opinion. I think he’s stoking the fire of the public’s anger and frustration towards the coach even worse.

His statement of “firing coaches is not the panacea of the team’s poor show” is a direct contradiction to his admission that his chosen coach Appiah lacks the necessary skills i.e. “his outfit will do its best to strengthen the capacity of the coach” to be the head coach of the Black Stars. I am not calling for the firing of the coach, but, neither am I going to condone double standard for performance evaluation of how he’s doing his job. I don’t recall Nyantakyi making this argument when he sent the last Serbian coach packing. I am a firm believer, the Black Stars have to have an African coach, preferable a Ghanaian, but, I’m not in support of lowering our expectations towards our goal just because he’s an African……No! What’s the incentive for Coach Appiah to try harder when his job security is virtual guaranteed by Nyantakyi. Constructive criticism is in order, considering the trade-off and sacrifices being made by the less privileged Ghanaian; the only way the investment is justifiable is when the team is winning and winning big.

Akwasi Appiah has admitted during a press conference “I made some tactical errors in the course of the competition. I have learnt very useful lessons from the experience in South Africa and I hope to correct such mistakes for the good of the team in future,” he stated. I’m not one to stump on a fallen victim and neither am I infallible, so I accept his apology. However, there is a saying “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” And in this case managing the Golden jewel, the pride and joy of a nation, the Black Stars, Nyantakyi should have anticipated this coming, particularly when one considers the fiscal constraints on the country’s budget. The team camped in Dubai before going to South Africa and I can bet the money spent could have built some schools in our villages. The more reason Ghanaians get frustrated when we don’t get anything in return; the expenditures made in Dubai could have been better spent to camp the team at home, I wonder what Dubai has in common with South Africa in terms of weather, football or facilities? What is the point of spending millions renovating our stadiums and hosting AFCON if we can’t use them later to camp the national team?

The more I read statements such as these coming from this character, the more I’m inclined to believe Coach Appiah is not in complete control of the national team. I’m not sure Kwasi Nyantakyi fully appreciate the enormity of the prestige, respect, joy and goodwill gained by Ghana at the dawn of Black Stars two great performances at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, particularly here in the U.S.; after twice eliminating them from the competitions. Ghana overnight gained recognition, admiration and respect here in the U.S. and for once we didn’t have to explain where Ghana was on the global map to our colleagues at work or at home and you walked around with your chest puff up. This is the fame and popularity Ghana gained that our gold and cocoa couldn’t buy us; that’s what it means to us when the Black Stars are performing poorly and I’m certain this sentiment is not an outlier.

ask how much HE NYANTAKYI INSTEAD OF GH, has benefited from all friendly games since he became president?
ask him why after years of dedication and commitment to his cause, he showed randy abbey and fred pappoe the red in his second term?

Ghana had had useful and profitable state enterprises in the past and present. Those enterprises that performed woefully and became liabilities to the nation were sold cheap either to foreigners or to government appointees and functionaries for revamping and sterling performance so they argued. Ex-President Kufour sold Ghana Telcom and JJ Rawlings sold Nsawan Canneries to his darling Nana Konadu. Bottom line? Ghana must sell Kwasi Appiah, Nyantakyi and the Black Stars to foreign investors. They are a waste. Sell them to save Ghana from such wastage.

These behaviour seeps deep in our political, economic and social system where people at the helm of affairs of endemic failing companies like Ghana Water, Electricity of Ghana are allowed to keep their jobs although they cannot provide citizens with stable provisions of these basic neccessities. The list goes on and on but until these attitudes are changed we will always be drumming about slogans like 'the gateway to west africa' blah blah but NOTHING TO SHOW OFF

The mob are out with their chants and knives of crucifiction; that is all heard and done before! Idiots, is 4th place so bad that you will have to call for the "head" of Mr. AKwasi Appiah who has only been in the job for about a year. Sixteen teams went to the finals and how many countries who performed worse than Ghana have fired their coaches? Please answer, you brainless mobster? To build a team is a strategic business which requires adequate resources and time, and not an overnight affair of a sugar Daddy like you. So you mind your short-term sugar Daddy business with those street prostitues and leave Mr. Akwasi to get on with building a new Black Stars team over time.

To all the guys out there, asking the GFA to fire coach Appiah, you can all go to hell with your stupid suggestions. Idiots!

My plea to the GFA is to stop the politics concerning who the Ghana Black Stars coach should be at this moment after AFCON. My suggestions are: 1) to go for MILO, 2) send Akwasi Appiah for a coaching course and 3) keep KONADU as the Assistant coach of MILO.
Akwasi Appiah had been given this opportunity for 11years; is time for him to move on, for Konadu to have this chance to enhance his success as a coach, with compliments to what he achieved with with Ashanti Kotoko.
Milo given the chance once more, would be a wise thing to do now; he knows the Ghanaian style of play, and with players now at hand, one would think with the little twist, our team can be well equipped to face any team for the WC.

Kwasi Appiah won't go - Nyantakyi
