Kwasi Appiah sack was long over due--

Some of the professional coaches who knew they had failed at the world cup were either resigned by their own or by mutual consent and Kwasi Appiah performance was not an exception from the likes of Paulo Bento and co.
if Ghanaian populace are to be factual, they should rather kudos the kwasi Nyantakyi's FA for having tolerated Kwasi Appiah so far -which l think he was permitted that grace period because he was a local coach.
The best record Ghana stand for at the world cup was damaged by David Moyes like manner type of Kwasi Appiah.He has demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that,for now the Black stars job cant be handled by any local coach.
The excuse that, the delay of appearance fee saga was the cause of the team bad performance is baseless for any factual Ghanaian fan to admit.
We all know the opening match against USA at the world cup was the most crucial for Kwasi Appiah to win and no one would doubt me on this stage that the problem of money issue arose before the USA encounter,so my question is where was his tactics in that lost match.
There was no way Ghana could beat Portugal two unanswered goals even if there were no problem at the camp so to me Ghana opening match decided our faith.
l do support the idea of going back for Milovan because he is by far the best ever coach Ghana has ever had based upon his performance not how he fled the country.His world cup performance and nations cup performance can't be marched by Kwasi Appiah. Appiah had been an assistant coach previously so he should have no excused not to take Ghana pass through group stages of the world cup.
A coach who waits for media criticism before he can make changes to his team is not worth coaching Blackstars,look at the squad he paraded against Uganda and substitutions he made,had it not media out cried against his selection we would have lost at Togo in the nations cup qualified and l can say authoritatively that Ghana would have missed the nations cup proper if he was still in charged.We should skip the hypocrisy and infringing patriotism as a country and face fact where is due. Kwasi Appiah deserve the sack because he lost the control of the dressing room exactly as the GFA President rightly said.At the world cup,he openly wept because of Kelving Prince Boateng and Micheal Essien even at setting stage snub his request to go for warm- up.The timing of his sack is not an excused. l am done.
