Your fees has been slashed from $25.50 to $10.50,because you have been drinking heavily of late.The other day,I heard you fought a 90 year old lady and beat her to pulp.That is very bad.

Call Ups to the national team is an honor and must remain so. Players must only receive qualifications bonuses like qualifications to afcon and wcup. When these players get call ups. It helps their careers and they claim points that helps them with their resident/work visas. That's enuff! The ghana taxpayer can't afford to pay their round trip first class plane fare, 5star hotel bills, food and boarding and still give them huge appearance fees. If I were the gfa executive committee and fa president such appearance fees will be abolished!

Its the nature of the GFA or government of Ghana to delay payments. They see it as not theirs so why not delay them as punishment of success. A slavery mentality which spoils development on all sectors of the economy.

Now is also the time to determine the fees of the handlers who are in reality traveling parasite who live off the sweat of the team. How many officials is enough? Black stars are often overwhelmed by many, many GFA officials/ so-called experts who extract per diem. These parasite sag the strength of the team. How much is too much for Nyantakyi?

Exactly my point?! These officials are answerable to themselves. They arrogate to themselves the power of thievery. They top load delegations of so called handlers, who in most instances turn out to be wives mistresses, actors, actresses. For a country like Ghana with grinding problems of development, I cannot understand why we would have more official delegates than those accompanying the USA soccer team to Brazil. Never mind that Americans travel a fraction of the distance Ghanaians have had to travel. There is no probity and there is no accountability. To date we do not know who paid whom with regards to the specific amount Nyantakyi and his cohorts took. Revenue from international contest is for the nation. The money is generated for the nation. The players work for the nation. The contract is between the Black Stars of Ghana and an international football organization. Fifa has its own soiled hands with slippery regulations that lead to a cesspool of corruption. However, even small countries like Costa Rica that have well place organization, are able to achieve maximum results because of their efficiency and accountability. Today Ghana’s most popular sport is led by officials who shamelessly parade with the team. There is deep cynicism when the GFA president is caught on tape during a conversation about match fixing. Predictably, he was declared innocent by GFA.

It's a right steps but actual winning bonus for the cup should be pegged at 50,000 not 60,000.

UNQUOTE.

THE EMBARRASSING SITUATION IN BRAZIL WAS A RESULT OF BAD PLANNING, WHICH IS A "TRADEMARK" OF THE ENTIRE SUCCESSIVE GHANA LEADERSHIP.

IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF PLAYER DEMANDS.

THAT'S WHY GHANA, A POTENTIALLY RICH SOVEREIGN AFRICAN NATION, CONTINUES TO MARCH INTO CONDITIONS OF HOPELESSNESS BECAUSE OF NAKED LEADERSHIP CORRUPTION IN GHANA.

If you are player who thinks $5,000.00 is not enough, you will not participate. We only want players who are ready to fight hard not players who ae just in it for the money.

To be honest, in spite of what people say, having a national team that does well and goes to the World Cup does help the national image. In spite of the fiasco at Brazil, there are plenty of people around the world who respect Ghana because of the football talent. This does help when it comes to business and personal relationships on the global level. If someone has heard of your country, they are more likely to feel comfortable dealing with you.

A very good idea. Any player who thinks he deserves much more than that can find another country to play for. We have quality and talented players who are willing to patriotically play for far less financial rewards as is the case with serious football nations. Why do we have to pamper football players and continue to spend ridiculous amounts of money on soccer and obtain no dividends. We are too poor and presently plagued by too many problems to continue in that vein.

After Brazil 2014 we have learnt to accept defeat and so if the players won't accept that money they can go lose the games.

Backward bunch of people, from John Mahama, the Minster of Sports and mos of the contributors to this article. The NDC is back again destroying everything that ex-Prez. Kuffour established.

For many 19yrs of AFRC/P-NDC rule, Ghana couldn't go to any World Cup, until Kuffour and his smart ministers and the NPP arrived on scene. In those ugly years bonus were seldom discussed and that's what the NDC is trying to do here once again. I feel sorry for Coach Avram Grant.

In 2005, each Black Stars player received $8,000 + $10,000 when Ghana beat Cape Verde in their last qualification match. The rest is history. So, this is why the WC-2014 commission is asking GFA to surrender all WC monies paid by FIFA. It's funny!

And NDC is hoping that Ghana wins the AFCON-2015 Trophy and bring home some joy. Hmmm! You see, governance or ruling a country isn't force; John Mahama should step down if he can't manage or run Ghana's business well.

I simply don't know any Professional Footballer, who'd risk himself to participate in any tough tournment like the AFCON for peanuts. It's pathetic to read such a story. Maybe it's just for jokes, or maybe the players intend to play for free. Or maybe I'm being stupid! John Mahama is a complete failure!
