Wales' players and the Football Association of Wales (FAW) are in talks to resolve a dispute about their bonus payment for qualifying for Euro 2016.
It is understood that before the campaign, the FAW offered the squad a shared seven-figure bonus but, after qualification, the offer was lower.
BBC Wales Sport has learned a group of senior players - including Gareth Bale - is leading the discussions.
The FAW insists there was no dispute and such talks were commonplace.
But it is understood the players were unhappy with the revised bonus on offer.
Wales' committee of players, which also includes captain Ashley Williams, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey and Reading defender Chris Gunter, has been in talks with the FAW since the end of the qualifying campaign in October.
While top-flight players such as Bale, Ramsey and Williams earn a significant amount with their clubs, the stars are eager to ensure Wales' squad members who play at a lower level are given a fair amount of any national bonus payment.
Discussions continued when Wales reconvened for the November friendly defeat against Netherlands.
Although Bale and Ramsey did not play, it is understood both players contacted their team-mates to keep abreast of the bonus talks.
The draw for Euro 2016 will be made on December 12, with Wales waiting to discover who they will face at their first appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. source bbc

There are so many things wrong with us: Conflict of Interest - How can the head of the GFA own a club? It is just like the minister of education having or being the proprietor of a private high school. Where on this planet will this happen?
Our footballers are mostly professionals plying their trades elsewhere . Coming to play for the nation is an honour & not part of their normal wage earning work. Why collect huge bonuses? So that the corrupt administrators will also pay themselves the same amounts. $100,000 in Brazil was each paid out to the players & the parasites accompanying the team.

Being a president, minister, paliamentarian, district chief executive etc is also to serve your nation and should be done in honor of the nation. Somebody becomes a minister of some sort, irrespective of how poor that person was prior to his appointment, he or she becomes heavily rich over night. As for the president, the least said the better and innocent people are suffering. The old players who chose honor ahead of riches, where are they? If you didn't know about Kwasi Owusu aka Powerhouse, ask and you'll know what he's doing now in Sunyani. He sells banker to banker lotto. The fact that the executives of GFA takes some of the money doesn't mean the players should play for honor. It's their damn job and they get bonuses at their clubs on every match day. You want them to lose that and come play for Ghana for free? Will you do that? Come again.

You misunderstood the implicit assumption: there is desire to embezzle money & that's one way they do it. Does that mean the players shouldn't collect their bonuses if deservedly so? No. Rather implying that it is a duty call from your nation. Do so honourably a by product of which will be to stop some crooks from further draining our coffers. That's the more reason Sule Ali Muntari was hated by the GFA. His reaction deplorable but sometimes we need such misfits to bring us back to our senses .

All I'm trying to say is that, each time the players leave their respective clubs to honor a match for the nation, they lose their clubs winning bonuses for that particular week end. This is why it makes no sense to play for the nation for free. It's their jobs for God's sake.

WHAT A SPEECH. To me you never mince words in any of your statements. I know people will hate you for this as you rightly asserted but never worry. My attention was drawn to you only last week of being outspoken and what I have just read in your speech has given me more than any proof I should need. Mr. John Benjamin, may God richly bless you.
You are the types who need to be called ambassadors. You do not look at preserving your job but doing what your work ethics demand of you. I wish I had the opportunity to look into your face to congratulate you for this piece.
It is only the bible which normally gives me inspiration the way I felt after reading your speech but your speech sent me shivering.
Oh God raise people like this for us to save this world from sinking so deep.
I believe when you 'hang up your boot' after retiring you really look back and feel happy for yourself.

I am much blessed this afternoon and I am going to continually read this for it has elevated my soul.

He has the right to because British tax payers money also get donated to the Ghanas development
dont know if to hate this man or like him. lets face it he has some love for the country- but is it genuine love or fake? dont think we should verbally abuse him
Never seen a diplomat so passionate about a country.....we should embrace and welcome his comments.I see him as an influence for positive change in Ghana.He has certainly gone a step further than Ambassador Craig whom I also ...

Initially, I thought he was intruding. On a second thought, he needs to. I think he genuinely loves Ghana. Is he perfect, No. but who is?
Only in Ghana will any Tom and Harry will wake and talk shit. Try that in America and see how you end up. We are becoming a stupid nation, and all because of lack of leadership skills.
Do you live in America? you don't know what you talking about.
Why don't you tell me where I live? I am New Yorker, and live in Manhattan, and very well educated. And always have my government issued gun with me, play with me and i will fuck you up with my gun. Piece of shit, when I want ...

John Benjamin is the finest British High Commissioner to ever come to Ghana.
Who is this High Commissioner to meddle in Ghana's affairs? He should concentrate on teaching his country some moral values. Ghana knows that it is not right to pay our footballers huge bonuses, so we don't need him to tell ...

Why are people wanting to hang the ambassador ? Is there something which he said that is not true? We just don't want to be told the truth . Even if the truth comes from the devil, IT IS THE TRUTH. There are so many things wr ...

Thank you Ghanaman. I wonder how people are still able to sit down and think negative about what Jon says. He isn't the one messing sports in Ghana. The only reason anyone will question his right to ask questions is their inv ...

Being a president, minister, paliamentarian, district chief executive etc is also to serve your nation and should be done in honor of the nation. Somebody becomes a minister of some sort, irrespective of how poor that person ...

I like your comments but I have problems with your heading. You know you have very large feet(US 17), so how can you refer to them in your comments. Please tell Kwesi Owusu to come and see me.
Playing for the nation is not their job where they earn salaries. It is an honour therefore to make the little effort to represent your nation while still collecting your salary from your usual work.
You misunderstood the ...

Let me put it in a very simple term for you.
All I'm trying to say is that, each time the players leave their respective clubs to honor a match for the nation, they lose their clubs winning bonuses for that particular week ...

I disagree with what this man is saying. Every player should be treated equally in order not to bring their spirit down. What this man is saying is never done anywhere. He cannot dictate for the courtry.
What the man is trying to encourage is patriotism and I believe the players themselves should even come out to say it if they really are patriotic.
Samuel Eto Fils used to pay the Cameroun national team when the team was dow ...

A fine article from a down-to-earth guy who loves being a proxy Ghanaian.
There is no free lunch.
WHAT A SPEECH. To me you never mince words in any of your statements. I know people will hate you for this as you rightly asserted but never worry. My attention was drawn to you only last week of being outspoken and what I ha ...

Love him or loathe him, he spoke his mind eloquently and I believe some of the sports administrators will be quaking in their boots.

This Ambassador is dabbling in the affairs of Ghana too much. Does he think we are incapable of governing ourselves? He lacks all the credibility of an Ambassador. The government of Ghana must ask for his recall. It appears h ...
