SUPER SPORT DEAL FOR GPL TELEVISION COVERAGE
HOW DO U SELL THE LEAGUE RIGHTS TO SUPER SPORT FOR $700,000 A YR, NOW GFA SAYS ITS 2.1 MILLION?. JESUS CHRIST, THIS GUY IS TOO STUPID TO BE GFA HEAD. SUPERSPORT WILL NOW SELL SOME OF THE GAMES TO TV COMPANIES/NATIONS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING/WATCHING GH LEAGUE GAMES. IS 700,000 DOLLARS A GOOD ENUFF FIGURE FOR GFA N OUR LEAGUE CLUBS? LOOK AT THE POPULARITY OF GH SOCCER IN AFRICA N ALL OVER THE WORLD. ON WAT BASIS/CRITERIA DID SUPERSPORT N GFA REACH TO DECIDE ON THIS MEAGRE FIGURE? LOOK, GH LEAGUE IS NOT LIKE THE TANZANIAN OR MALAWI LEAGUE TO COMMAND SUCH LOW FIGURES. WE HAVE MADE A NAME FOR OUR BRAND OF SOCCER OVER THE YRS.
FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE IN UK DOES....LOOK AT HE SUPERSPORT FIGURES FOR NAIGERIA AND KENYA? WHY ARE WE GETTING LESS MONEY, LESS GAMES PER WEEK COMPARRED TO KENYA AN NAIJA?
PRIMITIVE GH, GFA...U SEE $2.1 MILLION for 3 yrs FROM SUPERSPORT, U LOSE UR REASONING. WHEN U COULD HVE GOTTEN MORE. GYIMI MPANIN TOTO GFA! KENYA N NAIJA ARE GETTING 10 TIMES MORE!
South African satellite channel SuperSport International has agreed to pay in excess of R2-billion (approximately US$285-million) for the TV, mobile and internet rights for the country’s
Premier Soccer League (PSL) over the next five years. SuperSport has signed a US$2.5 million deal with the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to secure the broadcasting rights to the country's top soccer league.
The deal will run from 2011 to 2013. Nigeria's top domestic soccer league has secured a four-year broadcast deal with SuperSport reported as worth US$34 million in total.
The Ugandan Super League (USL),has inked a US$5 million, 5year broadcast deal with South African-based sports channel SuperSport.
South African pay-TV operator SuperSport has agreed a broadcast deal with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the deal will see SuperSport provide live coverage of 20 matches from Kenya’s
second division, starting with Wednesday’s match between Nakumatt FC and Moyas FC, until the end of the current season. The Tusker Premier League, the highest level of club soccer in Kenya,
has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with Puma. The deal, which is worth US$117,000 overall, will see Puma sponsor and supply match balls used in the league. "The partnership between KPL and Puma will cost Kshs ten million over three and a half years.
“Each team will be provided with balls while Puma will gain on pitch side branding and as well on the broadcasting point of view SuperSport will be able to capture the brand.”
East Africa Breweries Limited's (EABL) Tusker brand has been announced as the new title sponsor of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). The multi-year agreement, worth US$1.96 million overall,
sees the top flight of soccer within Kenya officially known as the Tusker Premier League for the next three years.
Kenyan Premier League (KPL) sides Mathare United and Ulinzi Stars have announced new sponsorship deals with Puma and Metropolitan Life respectively.
Mathare United's one-year apparel deal with Puma sees the German sports manufacturer supplying the soccer team with boots, replica merchandise to sell to fans as well as playing and training kit.
The combined value of Puma's contribution will total US$34,000. Meanwhile KPL champions Ulinzi Stars, a soccer team made up of the country's military servicemen, have signed a US$17,000 deal with Metropolitan Life Insurance.
The Zambian Super Division is also sponsored by MTN Zambia, which in June announced a 2.4 billion kwacha (about US$480 000), as their sponsorship package this year for both Chipolopolo and the top-flight league with the winner of the championship race getting about US$50 000.
With Dynamos collecting US$75 000, for winning the Premiership title last year under the sponsorship deal between the PSL and Delta Beverages through their Castle Lager brand, it appears the domestic Premiership is still, to some extent, better sponsored compared to the one in Zambia.
The Kenyan Premier League is operated and run as a private limited company incorporated in October 2003 under the Companies Act of Kenya. It is fully owned and managed by the 16 member clubs with each club being a shareholder
KPL and SuperSport signed a $5.5 million four-year partnership deal, the biggest football sponsorship in the country and in the region. The deal
which is expected to expire in 2011 will see a renegotiated contract double that amount to $11 million.
WHITE JERSEY!
HERE IS MY SUGGESTION.
THIS WHITE SHIRT MUST HAVE A COLLAR. THE JERSEY MUST ALSO HAVE LONG BLACK, TINY STRIPES THROUGHOUT FOR BOTH THE SHIRT AND SHORTS AND WHITE HOES. THE GFA LOGO MUST MUST BE EMBEDDED INSIDE A HUGE BLACK STAR ON THE LEFT/CHEST AREA.
HERE IS MY SUGGESTION. THE RED N YELLOW JERSEY SHOULD BE MAINTAINED, BUT WITH WHITE SHORTS. IF IN DOUBT, YOU CAN CONTACT OZWALD BOATENG IN THE UK FOR ASSISTANCE. GFA, DONT BE LAZY AND MEDIOCRE.
IF YOU PUT MORE WORK IN AN APPEALING JERSEY/KIT. IT WILL BE REPLICATED IN THE SELLING OF THESE JERSEYS.

BUILD A 35 OR 50 GRAND SEATER KOTOKO STADIUM
TUXMAN06@YAHOO.CA
PLS, BRING IN JOE CARR TO COACH THE GOALIES
WHEN PPL MENTION CLUBS IN AFRICA, I WANT PPL TO MENTION KOTOKO, AS NUMBER 1. THE CLUB ALSO NEEDS A STADIUM.
LET THE FUNDRAISING/DONATIONS BEGIN. IM WILLING TO DONATE 300 DOLLARS. OTUMFUO CAN GET LAND ASAP!
KOTOKO HAS FANS ALL OVER AFRICA AND TH GLOBE. LET THE FUNDRAISING BEGIN. I WANT TO SEE A CLUB STADIUM BEFORE I DIE....
As one of the world's premier soccer (football) clubs, Manchester United (MANU) has enticed many investors to research their stock since their August 2012 IPO.
The stock fared rather well in the opening days of trading and has moved up since. Since the IPO, Man U's stock is up nearly 32%. Competing in the Barclays Premier League,
Manchester United is one of the most globally recognized soccer teams, largely as a result of their success on the pitch over time.
Man U has shown that it is able to grow revenue and the bottom line by sizeable portions from sponsorship deals and other sources as well as through geographical expansion.
RULE NUMBER 1. U MUST HAVE A CLUB SAVINGS ACCOUNT. FIND NEW WAYS TO MAKE MONEY OR BRING IN REVENUE. EVERY MONEY U MAKE FOR THE CLUB, PAY AT LEAST 10PERCENT INTO THE CLUB’S SAVINGS ACCOUNT. N USE THE REST TO PAY BILLS, CLUB EXPENSES ETC.
WE HAVE NO KOTOKO TV, NO KOTOKO RADIO, CAN I BUY SHARES IN THE CLUB ON GSX? WHERE DO I BUY CLUB JERSEYS? WHERE DO I BUY SEASON TICKETS OR CLUB GAMES? U DONT HAVE A STADIUM.
U RENT BABA YARA FROM THE GH GOVT,N DATS WHY U CANT KEEP ALL THE GATE N FOOD, WATER, DRINK PROCEEDS. DOES KOTOKO HAVE ANY NON SOCCER RELATED BUSINESSES IN KUMASI,
ASHANTI REGION, NATIONALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY? DOES KOTOKO HAVE ANY YOUTH ACADEMIES TO GROOM PLAYERS? DO U PLAY FRIENDLY EXHIBITION GAMES IN NAIJA, EGYPT, SOUTH AFRICA,
EUROPE FOR MONEY BEFORE SEASON STARTS? NO, NO, NO,NO...YET ALL U KNOW IS SELL PLAYERS. U SEE THESE PRIMITVE PPL? JUST KILL URSELF.
IN THIS 21ST CENTURY, U DONT WANT TO CHANGE? EVEN THE WESTERNERS ARE CHANGING.
THIS IS A CLASSIC CASE OF A STABLE OWNER AND A JOCKEY. THE STABLE OWNER CAN TELL THE JOCKEY TO USE THIS HORSE OR THAT HORSE FOR THE RACE.
HOWEVER, IF THE JOCKEY RIDES THE HORSE OR DETERMINES THAT LOOK, I CANT USE THIS WORSE OR I CANT WIN WITH THIS HORSE. WHO ARE U SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE.
WHY DNT U TELL THE GM TO GO N COACH THE PLAYERS INSTEAD? THAT GUY IS STUPID N I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY HE HAS A JOB AS KOTOKO GENERAL MNGR. IF U BRING IN APLAYER AND DIDI TELL U.
LOOK, I HAVE WATCHED THIS GUY PLAY AND IM SORRY I CANT USE HIM OR HE CANT FIT INTO THE STYLE OF PLAY THAT I WANT FOR THE TEAM. WAT THEN IS THE USE IN FORCING THE PLAYER ON THE COACH?
ARE U STUPID OR WAT? DO U WANT THE COACH TO LOSE OR WAT? SARPONG HAS AN EGO PROBLEM. HE ACTS AS IF HE HAS THE BIGGEST DICK OR HAS THE MOST MONEY ON THIS PLANET. IDIOT!
1. KOTOKO TRAVEL AGENCY
2. BUILD A CLUB STADIUM WITH HOTEL...LOOK AT LIVERPOOL FOR IDEAS
ALL UR SPONSORS WIL LBE ADV INSIDE THE CLUB WITH AD SIGNS...DONT U PPL WATCH SOCCER IN THE EPL?
3. SELL REPLICA JERSEYS N CLUB PARAPHERNALIA(MUGS, HATS, PENS, TOWELS, SLIPPERS, SHORTS, LAPTOP BAGS, BOOKBAGS, DUFFELBAGS, ETC)
EVERY PLAYER IN THE CLUB MUST HAVE AT LEAST 20 REPLICA JERSEYS AVAILABLE FOR SALE. THIS MUST BE PRODUCED BY THE CLUB. FOR EACH REPLICA JERSEY THAT IS SOLD, THE PLAYER GETS A PERCENTAGE OF
THAT MONEY. THIS ALONE IS MOTIVATION FOR THE PLAYERS TO DO EVEN BETTER. THIS IS BUSINESS, THAT OTHER FOREIGN CLUBS ARE ADHERING TO. WHY CANT THESE STUPID MONKEYS IN GH LEARN HOW TO DO
BUSINESS RIGHT? IMAGINE THE MONEY KOTOKO N ALL CLUBS CAN GET BY SIMPLY DOING THIS?
4. LIST THE CLUB ON THE GSX
5. START EXCLUSIVE KOTOKO RADIO AND TV. LET MAVIS FROM ASEMPA, PJ MOSIR AND OPOKU AFRIYIE PK FROM FOXSPORTS BE THE HOST.
6. UP TO DATE, CURRENT MODERN WEBSITE
7. START OWNING PROPERTIES ALL OVER THE ASHANTI REGION AND GH
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE CLUB NAME ON IT. JUST MAKE SURE THESE BUSINESSES
OR VENTURES ARE BRINGING IN REVENUE E.G MARKETS, REAL ESTATE, GAS STATIONS,
CONTRUCTION COMPANIES, MECHANIC SHOPS, STAKES IN BANKS ETC....
8. INVEST IN THE JUNIOR TEAMS. EMULATE LIVERPOOL FC
9. REV OSEI KOFI AS ADVISOR, SCOUTING
10.KOTOKO CREDIT CARD WITH BARCLAYS BANK OR ANY BANK IN GH
11.WHITE JERSEYS FOR HOME GAMES. RED/BLACK, DARK COLORED JERSEYS WITH COLLAR FOR AWAY GAMES. HAVE A 3RD JERSEY LIKE YELLOW AND BLACK/GREENOR PURPLR N RED ETC......
IM READY TO DONATE 300 DOLLARS TO THE KOTOKO STADIUM FUND. IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME. KOTOKO CEO MUST START ACCEPTING THE MONIES AND CAMPAIGNING FOR DONAIONS FOR A STADIUM, GEEZ!
ALL DONATORS WHO GIVE OVER 100 OR 300 DOLLARS OR MORE WILL HAVE THEIR NAMES INSCRIBED ON THE STADIUM WALLS AND RECEIVE A CLUB PIN. SOME DAY, I CAN BRING MY KID TO THE STADIUM AND SHOW THEM THE
CONTRIBUTION I HAVE MADE TO MY FAVORITE CLUB IN AFRICA. OTUMFUO KOTOKO Y3 WILD!
12. OTUMFUO, CANT YOU INVEST IN A FACTORY THAT MANUFACTURES SPORTS/SOCCER KITS IN GH? WHY TRAVEL OUTSIDE TO IMPORT ALL THE TIME?
YOU CAN SIGN A CONTRACT WITH ADDIDAS, NIKE, PUMA ETC, BUT THE FACTORY CAN PRODUCE MORE SOCCER JERSEYS FOR OTHER LESS FINANCIALLY ENDOWED CLUBS, SCHOOLS IN GH AND THORUGHOUT THE CONTINENT. MONEY!
13.FORM A PARTNERSHIP WITH LIVERPOOL FC:
Liverpool was the first English professional club to have a sponsor's logo on its shirts, after agreeing a deal with Hitachi in 1979.
Since then the club has been sponsored by Crown Paints, Candy, Carlsberg and Standard Chartered Bank.

Wait and see the moment they get something small to buy a player they will start bragging they have money.

You always compare yourself to Hearts of Oak. This is a club which has just one sponsor and you people cannot even match them.

Braggards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop the lalasulala please.
