    Think, think and think again? What did you know about Avram Grant's qualifications before he became coach for the black stars? Let's do what we do best and leave what we can't do for others to help us do! So think and think a ...

    Just add the following to the list what about Ratomir Dujkovic,Milovan Rajevac and the most lazy one Goran Stevanovic. We have won AFCON with one of our owned and we will win again with one of our owned.

    Kwasi Appiah will be a failure. Please look for another Ghanian coach.

  • anokwale 7 years ago

    I thought they should have sacked Grant before AFCON. Since they did not do that, it is best to give Appiah a contract through the AFCON 2019. The condition should be that if he does not win AFCON that is it. Meanwhile th ...

    IF AA HAS NO HAND IN SELECTING HIS TECHNICAL PERSONNEL. WILL HE TRUST THEM?

  • Isaidit 7 years ago

    Go and burn the sea if you don't want it.Appiah happens to be the second best Coach for the Black Stars.We are solidly behind him and won't allow your tribalism and insults to prevent Ghana from doing what is best for Ghana.

  • PAULO 7 years ago

    Oh, how i wish Kwasi Appiah had declined the appointment. In any case, he should not accept as remuneration anything less than the U$55,000/month that incompetent Avram Grant was being paid out of the tax-payer's money.

  • RG Ransom 7 years ago

    There are better coaches in Ghana. Far better coaches. Kwesi Appiah is not even qualified to be a coach but they still made him a coach. He was fired for incompetence now they want to bring him back again while we have sellas ...

    I don't believe tribalism has anything to do in this case. Kwesi Appiah got the chance and proved the mantle was bigger than him. I for one believe it is the turn of Maxwell Konadu because he has charisma. Nothing to do with ...

    Kwesi Appiah has everything it takes to be coach of the Black Stars. Neequaye lack sufficient knowledge to evaluate the coach for a gutter-to-gutter soccer team. Kwesi Appiah has nothing to prove

  • john akpa 7 years ago

    We couldn't convert a penalty. Milo ( a whiteman ) was our best since C. K. Gyamfi who played and trained in Germany. Only God knows how far Milo would have taken us had we converted the penalty.

    Akwasi Appiah did well if it was not the corrupt F.A. and puppeteering!!!

    why should this man be coach again..
    The Ghana FA should go for herve Renard who has experience on the african continent. Ghana will lose and lose again if we take AKWESI Appaih. I prefer BASHIRU Hayford to AKWESI APPIAH
