Waste of tax payer money. Why let him sign a new contract when his performance was below par. Nyantakyi and his cohort must follow suit.

When it comes to creating, looting and sharing, Ghanaians are really smart. Do that in America and see where you will land. GFA knew long time go they were going to relieve Kwes Appiah of his post but chose to sing his praise and extended his contract only to sack him a couple of months later so they can share a contract abrogation fee. This is no different from Woyome scandal!

He can refuse to be assistant coach and Ghana cannot do anything about it. He signed the contract as a Coach not assistant coach.

If the Serbian does not want to work under AA, then AA will not work under him.

Its really unfortunate the coach was sack, instead of provide him with all the support, counselling and the logistics. Appiah is a human, not God and by the principle of lifes all humans are are bound to make mistakes or better put will not have success forever. I do remembered when Appiah took over this job, he was paid only $5,000 and he was delivering, even getting the nicknam "Silent killer" etc. He signed a new contract of US$ 36, 500 recently and so he need to be axed out? Oh Africa, is it envy or what?We all know that there is time for everything as Ecclesiastic stated" A time for joy and a time for happiness" why can't we endure sorry to to achieve happiness? Milo was paid several dollars to handle the team yet it was appiah who was doing the job, now lets ask, did they give appiah the same incentives as milo? is it because Appiah is a black? We always complain of racism but we are the pacetters of racism. When will Africans believe in ourself and accept and appreciate our own. It seems we are curse in every aspect of life because i do not know the bases of AA dismisser, great coaches lost in the first round of the world cup, did they fire them? It seems Ghanaians do not accept the fact that football/soccer is a game of entertainment and that our day to living is base on other aspect of the economy. No look paying this morron whopping $50,000/month with other incentives to just use already made players is what we all appreciated. Come to USA or any of the european country and see how many years it will take you to make $50, 000? and for that matter you being a black. HMMM we are still slaves in our land. Kudos Nyantekyi and his compatriot.

The leaders of this nation are wicked and in fact very corrupt. I wonder why when it comes to soccer, they transact business in Dollars but refuse to do theirs in Dollars.

Decisions made by GFA and the government affected the morale and performance of the blackstars. Akwasi Appiah or any coach for that matter can only do so much in the face of incompetence and disorganisation from the sports ministry and the GFA. AA is being used as a scapegoat. We have superb players who need to be treated fairly, there is more to this Brasil saga, i am sure issues arose way before Brasil about money, people can can be treated as idiots to a point and then they will say no more. This government with their propaganda skills have managed to make the players appear greedy and turned the nation on them unfairly.

Pay the guy and let him go away, something the GFA should have done immediately after the WC, and Appiah should have quit, but no he was waiting for a big pay day, if the GFA took the initiative to let this underachiever simply to go away. Pay off the guy, it will be money well spent so that the Black Stars will resume what they are good at doing, play good soccer. Please, GFA pay the guy off because Ghana and the Black Stars honestly merit his departure. The Black Stars will be better off without this absolute loser. Congratulations to the GFA for making the decision to let him go, notwithstanding the cost. That is what I call guts on their part, and we should all join in congratulating the GFA for doing the right thing. To Appiah, all the best to him. He needs a good rest a good distance away from soccer. One lesson to learn is not to take a job you cannot really handle. It was not in any body's interest that he took the coaching job of the Black Stars. This guy has put us all through enormous stress because of his incompetence that was absolutely unnecessary.

"people are just jealous of the money they make, period".

Aponkye Odasanibi, hardly was anybody jealous of what Appiah made.

In fact, if we had any complaints, it was that he was being underpaid compared to his predecessors' salaries.

He got all our support, especially on their way to Brazil.

Most even supported the pre-World Cup contract, but the fool went there and decided to wait for the American players to get tired.

That was the beginning of his end.
No technical acumen.

Now he is going to collect $1 million to buy another house in London.

Stupid Nyantakyi, the king of kickback corruption, will get his share.

Any serious nation will stop this payment to Appiah, fire Nyantakyi and prosecute both for financial loss to the state.

sacking Kwasi appia to bring milo would add nothing to the Team Performance because milo is not a world class Coach .

I think that the mian reason given by the gfa in sacking Akwasi Appia MUST seriously as a matter of urgent apply to Kwasi nyantakyi loking at what happened in Brazil, honestly it was not the duty of the Coach to solve the appeareance fees Problem it is the duty of the FA so failing to do that alone speak volume about how incompetent the whole members of the GFA are and must be deal with starting from the head.

Why should the GFA wait till now,renew Appiah's Contract and pay this huge money to him. Would Mr. Nyantakyi manage his father's cocoa farm like this?

I have given up on Ghana under pepeni and his NDC. Here was somebody called a coach like the president who is not performing and needed to be sacked after a terrible WC campaign. Suddenly within a week you renewed his contract. Amonth later, like non performing dramani, you sacked him and now going to pay him nearly one million dollars! Something is terribly not working in Ghana. This is how those countries that went to war started though. Something is wrong in Ghana

Kwasi we are proud of your sucessful achievement managing the national Team, the Ghana Black Stars.
You made us proud indeed. Definitely the sudden termination of your contract would have to be . Especially coming after a good performance after beating the Togo national team.

Please have a good break and then plan very well over your rewarded gratuity or severance package of $876,000.

This is very handsome bulk payment to see you through for the rest of your life. Make good investment in broad: UK, USA, Germany, France, Holland etc and you would not regret.
Make tax-free investment or buy a property and rent out cheap for £1000 to £2000 per month minimum after all deduction. There are so many annuity investments you could take up, This would guarantee you good income for the rest of your life.

Mr. President, I rather encourage you to wake up over this issue. We were made to believe that Milo was coming as a technical director. which in fact we don't even need. We've 4 times won the CAN in the past with local coaches. We've had a good number of expartrites who gave us nothing other than being runners up. The country is currently in serious economic/financial crises and people are just wasting money. The government is owing hospitals for unpaid NHIS bills yet Mr. President, this is going on and you seem to sit down watching. Please aid the poor Ghanaian. Let us be fair to ourselves. I am seriously expecting you to bring someone to book over this blantant waste of the poor taxpayer's money being stolen by so called GFA ewxecutives.
May God save Ghana.

I can't believe what I am reading! Wow, this is monecracy, indeed! GFA, the Ministry of Sports and Government must sit up and make sure the tax payers money does not go into the drain. A Presidential Commission is required to be set up to investigate the pros and cons and punish whoever is responsible for this or stop any payment altogether.

I suggest as a layman, if it is possible let AA continue to be at the helm of affairs as a coach the new coach also plays his part. It may lead to confusion in a way but it must be pressed upon the s Stars that they are responsible to the new coach and not AA. AA may be forced to stay on the quiet or quit and in this way the issue of compensation will not occur. Let's give it a trial and see the outcome.

Sacking coach Appiah is no surprise but what is surprising is the reason for which the GFA claimed he was sacked. This reason is: the coach went public to deny that he requested for a technical adviser. In other words, had Kwesi Appiah not revealed that he did not want a technical adviser, he would not have been sacked. So for the GFA, Appiah's failure is not about his incompetence as a coach but about he opposing the idea of a technical adviser. It can therefore be concluded that, the GFA considered the employment of a technical adviser to help the coach as something wonderful that they were ready to sack the coach for publicly disagreeing with it.
It is surprising that the GFA does not know that the employment of a technical adviser to help the coach is not a wise step to take. Interestingly the man who was going to be employed as a technical adviser, Milovan Rajeva, has refused to be a technical adviser. According reports, Milovan would only like his employment as Ghana’s head coach and not as a technical adviser. This means that even the man who the GFA wanted to employ as technical adviser has rubbished the idea. The sensible thing to do is to have a head coach who would have the freedom to appoint his technical team. But to appoint a technical adviser for your head coach is madness since it is like deliberately fomenting confusion.
Now that the coach (Kwesi Appiah), for whom the GFA was employing a technical adviser, has been sacked, I hope the GFA will be wise enough to know that the technical adviser project automatically has been terminated. It will be foolhardiness for the GFA to convert the technical adviser recruitment into a head coach recruitment. The ordinariness and in fact the mediocrity of Milovan Rajevac is clear for any sensible person to notice. After Ghana had put him in the international spotlight, Milovan did not find it difficult to get a coaching job after leaving Ghana but his performance was miserable as a coach. Under him as a coach, Qatar surprisingly lost 2-1 each to India (in a friendly match at home) and Vietnam (in a world cup qualifier). No doubt he was quickly sacked and ever since (ie 2011) he has not been able to get a coaching job. For us to go for such a person as our coach after sacking Kwesi Appiah would expose the GFA as unwise.

Kwasi Appiah fraudulently took USD100,000 as an appearance fee which he was not entitled to. That is a serious crime and a breach of contract. He should have been sacked for that alone. Thus giving him another USD1m is out of place. He was on contract, being paid on agreement so he DID NOT QUALIFY FOR APPEARANCE FEE. This later money should therefore not be paid. I hope there is at least one good lawyer in the country that can appeal against this one. We cannot perpetuate stealing and incompetence at the same time at the expense of the poor people of Ghana
