I am surprised there is so much pressure on Grant to watch the local league. What is there to see, unfit players all just running after the ball as if they are playing Rugby?Indisciplined players rushing on referees anytime a decision goes against their team, give me a break. I will not watch any local league match. Tweeaaaaaaa. Nonsense

Complete nonsense. Even the assitant knows that the moment a local player shines, he will be sold to some cheap Asian team or will be in Europe for endless trials. What are you talking about? The national team is made up of the best players, there is no affirmative action in Black Stars.

Yes he should have included the home based players who struggled to earn a narrow 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast. Let Konadu do that or should Maxwell do nothing but get paid at the end of every month. Grant is doing the job very well. Or do you think you can do it better? I know you can't. Some Ghanaians complain too much about little nothings.

If Konadu can do that why can't he moniter the overseas professional players and take over the coaching job? None of the top African professional players would get the coaching jobs in Africa, most of the jobs would go to their white counterparts. Africans are sick from inferiority complex because of the severe poverty and the "400 years" slavery.

THERE MUST BE A 3/4 PLAYER QUOTA FOR OUR LOCAL PLAYERS TO JOIN EVERY BSTAR TEAM. OTHERWISE, THERE WILL BE NO LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE JOINING BSTAR BECOS THEY CAN EVEN BE AS GOOD AS PELE BUT IF THEY DONT HAVE DOLLARS TO BRIBE NYANTAKYI AND HIS CRONIES. FORGET IT. THATS WHY WE NEED A QUOTA FOR LOCAL PLAYERS. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT MANY GH PLAYERS STAY IN THE LOCAL LG RATHER THAN TRAVELING OVERSEAS. THINKING THAT IF I PLAY OUTSIDE, I HAVE A BETTER CHANCE PLAYING FOR BSTARS

The fantasy of the local hero coming to save the day is just not going to happen. In a majority of cases the player has to prove themselves abroad before coming back.

It is incredible to observe in our country today that, we can't express our thoughts judiciously without resorting to insults. This is sad, very sad. Our future is bleak.

In the last world cup we conceded the fastest goal. In our first game, within a minute we were a goal down. This coach has been carefully selected to correct such things.

stupid what local matches do u want him to watch? What is the job of the assistant coach in Ghana? Can't he monitor the local players as well and recommend them to Avram Grant?

We dislike the local coaches becos they are corrupt to the teeth. Look at AA. Took Inkoom & ADOMAH & left Schlupp out. Why? Too corrupt. We cannot trust them . For the right back, GODFRED SAKA of Aduana Stars is even far better than Afful - but Inkoom was selected over Saka. The whole system is corrupt & therefore can't rely on these crooks in our football also. We are doomed as a nation, if not as a continent

Shame unto Ghanaians, instead of sponsoring and supporting Coach Appiah to gain some experience Ghanaians because of hatred sacked him. Look at the salary the Tax payers money is being used on him.

Please, leave the coach to do his job. If we had a competent Ghanaian to independently handle the BS, we would not go in for a foreign coach. It's true that Ghanaian tax payers are paying him. However, we did not hire him. Let GFA do the talking. We Ghanaians are fun of criticizing everything that is good. But when given the nod to do the we job, we mess it up. No more! No more!

The question we need to ask ourselves is did Avram refuse to invite any local player that Maxwell Konasu, the assistant coach, recommended?.Maxwell watches the local league and he selects the best for the local black stars but he, Naxwell,knows that the qualities for these local players are only good for only the local black star and not that of the real Black star .So do we want to say Maxwell does not communicate with Avram? What is Maxwell telling Avram is what we need to find out rather than blaming Avram. Coach Nana sarpong talks unnecessarily all the time. What did he achieve when he was coaching a local team? Haba people should give us a break.

What kind of thinking is that? No wonder, Mr. Welbeck Abrah-Appiah,you presided over the worse league in the world.

Guess what? You are the lazy one, not Grant who knows better to stay abroad to monitor the players for international duties.

Granted the local league is substandard, are you saying that the coach cannot find at least one local player deserving of a call-up to the national team for a friendly match? I should think most of the current Black star players in Europe had their start from the same league you're deriding. It is you who has a warped mentally and not Welbeck Appiah. Appiah is right to question the coach's commitment to the local players. Given the poor state of the local infrastructure, compared to Europe, it takes a whole lot of hard work to follow and scout the local players.

Kojo is responding to an accusation against the coach regarding his method of staying abroad to monitor the foreign-based players, as opposed to staying in Ghana to monitor and unearth talent for international game. But, I thought that is the job for Konadu who manages the local players and makes recommendations to Grant.
The current state of international soccer is not germane to Ghana alone. It was happening all over Africa, and that is why they created CHAN in the first place. If we have 99% of our players overseas, why would the coach spend his time monitoring local players, when there is a local assistant coach plus the whole of the technical team doing that? Who is going to monitor the foreign-based players who currently made up the bulk of our national playing body? Is it going to be Konadu or Yakubu?
It is rather ironic for one of the real lazy persons, who were actually responsible for creating this situation in the first place to call the coach lazy for doing his work. As the chair for 10 years on this shambolic league, he is not in a position to call the coach “lazy.”

Some Ghanaians are stupid. Most of the comments in support of coach Grant are idiotic. The coach doesn't even reside in Ghana, that makes it impossible to scout local players. I am unaware of the terms of his contract,but he ought to be living in Ghana and not in Europe, developing local talents. Once again the whiteman is taking the blackman for a fool.

Avram Grant has to get himself involved in what is going on in the premier league and attend games at least that will bring out the quality and talent of the players and they will also be discipline.

I did say Avaram Gant would be bad for Ghana football but because the FA wanted a 'big name' they went for him. Grant has never been a good coach. he got the Chelsea job because of his friendship with the Chelsea boss
