I hope Nyantakyi will see reason to also step down rather than face the wrath of sport-loving Ghanaians. FIFA monopoly or not, greedy Nyantakyi must be forced out of the GFA.

If we have to continue to blame the coach on everything and think a good coach is only when we win then may be every two years or every year we will need a new coach, because there is no way,no coach will be able to make us win every game.
Our dependence on the so called foreign players is part of the problem,we need to forget about them and organize local players to be playing for us,forget about winning and build the local team and leave these foreign players alone,they think about their contracts more than playing for the nation seriously,they are concerned about injuries that could affect their contracts,it is all about money.

the gfa should not accept the resignation. they should appoint him for life. did they even consider our pleas to remove him? stay on and attend the afcon so that he will collect twice what the players collect at every stage. the gfa think they were showing their powers by ignoring us. avram was rather cleverly milking us.

When the crooks telegraph their negative intent, the best revenge is to hit them first.

Not enough! Nyantakyi and everyone at the GFA must follow-suit or be sacked, but that will never happen because of obvious reasons.

Thankyou Mr.Arvan Grant for stepping down as head coach of the senior national team. You are a true sportsman/professional. Mr Nyantakyi and his colleagues should take a clue in this and also step down with immediate effect.

Nyantakyi must take suit and follow Avram Grant's bold decision to step down if he truly is a qualified lawyer as he is claiming.

Incompetent Nyantakyi must step down as soon as possible to pave way for reorganisation of the FA.

He should have been the first to resign with his foolish team and he is rather accepting resignation letter. Nana should ensure this Nyantakyi and his fools are removed from office as soon as possible.

Ghanaians we should be grateful sometimes. We always have problems with coaches, players, administrators,
even an ant that is passing by. It's not easy putting yourself out there to serve. Those who always make noise are those who have not played before, coach, and even contributed a pesewas for the up keep of the team. Ask yourself about the playing fields and other amenities for our national teams. Stop insulting one another and bring concrete ideas that will help all of us. We need better ideas and insulting with no facts .

Coach Herve Renard is the best for the Black Stars now because he can introduce attacking game.
If you look at the way the Stars play these days,it looks too defensive.
Attacking football is where every player is capable to score like what the Cameroonians did.
They got important goals from defenders,midfielders,wingers and strikers.That's what is lacking in the Black Stars,we need to change that if we want to win the cup.It also explains why we have missed 2 grand finals on penality shootouts, not forgetting the clash between Uruguay in the 2010 South Africa World Cup 1/4 finals.Thank you.

The hunt must go on for a tactically astute coach with the hunger to win.

The news says he is paying heavily for the defeat in Gabon. There is nothing to indicate the Black Stars' job was his dream job. Could have been just another means to an end.
