There are 2 things here if this report is true.
1. The current players are indisciplined and see themselves bigger than the national team. They don't want to respect the coach.
2. The players are less committed to the national team than to their clubs. We see evidence of it when they play for their clubs and the national team.
Therefore, for the national team to do well, let's get rid of the big names and use players who love the country.

The real truth is humans are not like cars or bikes you cant change their directions in a moment. They need some orientation and new faces with new ideas. Some of these players even know Otto addo is weak in tactics and a boy boy, yes sir massa type to Okraku so they don't take him serious again. They know he is there only to serve the orders of okraku and randy abbey not there by virtue of his experiences and tactics. There can be no respect for a coach who can be remote controlled .

Mr Agemang you've said it all. The so-called senior players who always want to give the coach a bad name are themselves nobodies. They come here just to show off and to waste the country's money. Is that the way Essien, Tony Appiah & Co played? The coach should be encouraged to sack them to have the opportunity to build a new team even if that will cause us the World Cup.

The truth is they don't want to be told the truth. Leave Otoo Alone. Other coaches faced similar result just that they bow to the nonsense of some of the players. Inaki has been given opportunity to start several times but he strugles, Partey choose his club at the wrong time. Painstil feel He should not be benched and the Ayews that I have loved are refusing to accept that Dede time is over. Samenyo has missed golden opportunity that no coach could keep quite. In short the senior players has contributed to where we are and not the coach. They should raise up and play and play well.

Poor attitude. Go to Germany and be late for just two minutes and see.
This is what is happening in the various departments. No one cares. They say it's government work.

I’m not happy with Otto Addos output so far as coach of the Blackstars and I’m presently unsure whether or not he can deliver the goods going forward. But if the players say they don’t respect him because he insisted on breakfast and scolded them for lateness, those players must be sacked from the team. I’m europe where they play, these things are there. You eat from the club guesthouse. Right Nutrition is part of the game preparation. And we’ve seen videos of how coaches gave hot scolding to their team in the dressing room at half time. I’ve seen a video of Guardiola giving it to everyone in the dressing room while at Barcelona. It’s on the internet.

Some Ghanaian players are arrogant to say they don’t desver scoping for being late; who the hell are they? Common Afcon , you couldn’t qualify to compete in. Players who have won World Cup still take solving from their managers. Too known with nothing to show

Great point and I also feel Obama is gullible for now asking the players why breakfast and lateness fine is a problem when it’s a norm at clubsides. Some players have spiritual problems.

Taking breakfast together is a bonding, where's he wrong... I don't like Otto's performance with the B's so far but this accusations is below belt.

The FA president criticized Kwasi Appiah (KA) and even said that his performance was poor for losing just one match. The FA president said that for him such a performance is so poor that the coach (KA) doesn't deserve a contract renewal.

Meanwhile, Otto Addo who was hailed as a savior for Ghana Football before his coming has thus far failed miserably to win a single game out of six tries in the recent AFCON Qualifiers. He failed to qualify the team for an AFCON, a feat Ghana didn't experience twenty years prior to Otto Addo's second coming.

Isn't Otto Addo's performance more of a disaster when compared to that of Kwasi Appiah's?

It's either that the FA is gang hole on Otto Addo for reasons beyond competence or he is incompetent himself. Either way this FA has been the worst in the country's history.

What is wrong with the coach bringing discipline into the team. You these same sports presenters will lambast him if he is soft with the players. Leave Otto Addo alone to do his job.

Sa Dick Adams .I see nothing wrong with a coach instilling discipline onto his players , u same journalist would turn around and criticize him if he wasn’t disciplined. nothing apart from their selfish interests, saying so because it has always being like this since 1992 where Ghana lost on penalties with cote divoir. It has always been from one coach to another .I think it’s about time journalists stop being propagandists of negative reportage and start rallying support for whoever we appoint as a coach .If we continue like this , Ghana will not see any glory as far as football is concerned.

It's time to call a spade with the name. Players who feel too big to to listen to the coach should simply stay away from the Black Stars team. The cause of Ghana's poor results during matches is due to their unpatriotic behaviour and intentional poor performance on the field aimed at giving the coach a bad name. It's time to instil disciple in the team and whoever is not willing to comply should not be part of the team. Period. Look at the behaviour of white players when they are invited to play for their nations.

It's a shame that Sadik Adam's call this issue a toxic environment and the coach loosing the dressing room. This is gross indiscipline on the part of the players.

These things coming out of the stars inner circles are very horrible. Nobody heard this for the last 60 years since the 1970's. Public recordings of private rebukes of the playing body, the gead coach attributing defeats and poor performance to condition of playing field, openly calling out young players accusing as lacking experience , open criticism of Partey as not a good leader. Players openly attributing their loss of form at club level and exploding into fisticufs such as Kudus endured a five match ban is unprecedented. Most of the players are played out of position. The coach cannot blend players into a well oiled unit. The team lack a cutting edge forward or striker and he is hanging on.
