Is it True that Bernard Kumordzi Has Been Axed From the Black Stars?

Word coming from Camp indicates that Bernard Kumordzi has allegedly been removed from The Black Stars due to yesterday's Meteors game.

He is supposed to be replaced by new comer Moussa Narry.

The implication of this hasty decision could be detrimental if this is indeed confirmed to be the case. How will future players view call-ups, especially after having given so much of themselves to the national cause?

We need a sense of integrity, purpose, fairness and justice in the team.

Timing, Appearance and location are everything sometimes. It does not augur for the image of the Coach if he did indeed deliver this message to an already demoralized inside the Meteors locker room immediately after the Meteors match.

Like the saying goes, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. Both Kumordzi and Narry were in the original call-up so the idea that Kumordzi's position has been given to Narry does not add up. Besides, other players did not play well either.

Let's hope this is a big misunderstanding and let the right thing be done as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Don Fox
