when docuvich and milo took ghana to the world cup did they go with any technical director ? wasn't it thier first time at the world cup themselve..... no one cried technical director because they were white men. both the two coaches of brazil are all brazilians. can't we get out of the pool of talent of all our ghanaian ex sports men and leaders to help appiah. i know for sure to the white slaves who nkrumah never liberated from the power of colomentality will still be clamouring for a foriegn coach and foriegn tech. director. why will not africa remain a third world continent.

Come on, show your true colours! What u really want is an obroni to call the shots. Would u be happy if a Ghanaian is appointed technical director? No, your kind will never be satisfied unless a white man is appointed to call the shots. It's called inferiority complex. Even when the Egyptians lost 6 - 1, they still believed in their coach. Akwasi Appiah has earned every penny he's been paid so shut up and let the man focus on his job!

This is not a good time to call for a new coach. We need to give Akwasi Appiah our maximum support and hope for the best.

Much as I think that any coach that has to manage a team at the international competitive level today, requires more than the skills that Coach Appiah has, I nevertheless think that it would be a travesty of justice, moral virtue and managerial discretion of the highest order to relegate Coach Appiahs significant efforts in getting the Black Stars to where they have now reached, in favor of some unseen opportunistic forces and interests.

First of all, such an unlikely action would considerably destabilize the precious emotional cohesion that Appiah has built in the team and around his personality. Should it so happen, this would in turn cause unsettling ripples in the team spirit.

Now for a team sport like football, in which the element of team spirit is of unsurpassable and irreplaceable importance, the effect would be disastrous in a major competition like the World Cup.

For the Black Stars to perform creditably in a global competition like the impending World Cup, they need to harness total team confidence and convert it into a very high dose of team spirit to counteract and make up for their relative poverty of technical skills.

Having said this, I also however insist that no Technical Director of the highest credentials from Europe or anywhere, should now be belatedly smuggled into the team management structure to as it were, infuse the valuable substance of technical competence into the Black Stars team within the space of the few months prior to the World Cup. It just simply won’t work because it is too late for this.

If anything at all, such an awkward and irresponsible proposal has the propensity to rather create management disorder, instability and confusion in the team, particularly after all the heated discord on the subject in the public domain over the past few weeks.

This proposition of a Technical Director, coming from a sponsor who incidentally is a major state institution that on the books, should technically not be in a financially healthy enough position to sponsor the Black Stars, suggests that this dubious scheme is probably emanating, after some serious arm-twisting, from the highest levels of govt.

Seeing that the ultimate interest of the shadowy characters is not necessarily in seeing the Black Stars advance as far as possible - and if possible win the World Cup, the stroppy proposition of a Technical Director bears the hallmarks of a potential horse-trading scam that is aimed at benefitting the create, loot and share brigade. There cannot be any other plausible reason. This misdeed amounts to Political interference of a kind that seems to be more refined and discreet.

That the GFA has also not come out fighting against or for this proposition suggests that they have, in the usual manner of the skullduggery of the powers that be, been cornered into total subservience and inaction.

Asoubonteng stop infecting us with your high level explosive illiteracy. People who dont have any confidence at all in themselves but always depend on others who look down on them and oppress them are what are referred to as modern day slaves. They have not been able to liberate themselves from slavery - of the mind.

The worse kind of slave is the type who, like you, does not even know that he is a slave.

You have been conditioned to think of yourself as an inferior human being therefore you tend to agree with all the abuse that others inflict upon you. You are comfortable disrespecting your own self by subjecting yourself to the whims of evil white people who have continued to enslave you for many centuries.

In short those evil white people have drained you of all your self-respect that is why you dont understand the substance of this discussion.

DID THEY HAVE THE SO-CALLED BEST COACHES?
It isn't about how well you start,but how you finish the whole well,that matters the most.
GHANA BLACK STARS WILL FINISH WITH THE CROWN,SO THE PHILOSOPHY YOU GUYS MIGHT HAVE ADOPTED,NURTURED,EMBRACED THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME,MIGHT BE ERADICATED/PURGED OUT OF YOUR MEMORY,
SO YOU WILL start to THINK BETTER.
I believe,the BLACK STARS WILL COME WITH FLYING COLOURS,TO SHOCK THE WHOLE WORLD.
Maybe you don't know these:
THE FIRST BLACK AFRICANS THAT EVER FLEW AN AIR PLAIN AND SAILED A SHIP TO EUROPE,WERE ALL GHANAIANS.
By the same token,your GHANA BLACK STARS,ARE GOING TO BRING THE WORLD CUP 2014 IN BRAZIL,HOME.
BELIEVE THIS,DREAM ABOUT IT,DRINK IT,AND SLEEP WITH THESE THOUGHT ALL THE TIME,AND SEE IF IT WOULD NOT BE MATERIALIZED.
KWESI APPIAH,I WILL SAY THIS TO ENCOURAGE YOU:

ALWAYS,BE BIG AND BOLD,ON THE INSIDE,IN ORDER TO EXPLODE ON THE OUTSIDE,IN EVERY ADVERSARIAL CONDITIONS,LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO FACE IN THE WORLD CUP 2014,TOURNAMENT,IN BRAZIL.
GOD BE WITH YOU AND THE BLACK STARS,
IN JESUS' NAME!

Akwesi Appiah is not good enough and must be helped by a technical director. look at what happen in CAN 2012. He had no idea of what he was doing. We also need a better goalie. Fatua made a lot of mistakes in Kumasi and he still put him at the post in Egypt. He never learn. He is just lucky he has all these quality of players around. With these players anyone can coach the Blackstars. Because I bet u most Ghanaians can make a better selection with these quality players.

If he is not good enough the BS would not have qualified for the WC, idiots. You have no self belief in your colour.

GNPC should not even think about that. Was Bob Bradley not an experienced coach in Kumasi??? Hasn't he been to a word cup..? That money can be used to clean at least Central Accra . We should think and do things as people. Ghana is for Ghanaians. We will all stand against it. Leaders should not forget with the help of social networks to come together for our right is very easy. They should learn from the Arab world. I rest my case. A word to a wise and patriotic leader is enough.

Since the beinging of the world cup qualifying no one came out to say Ghana need a foreign,now a black man from the same soil of Ghana had qualified Ghana Black Stars to it third straight world cup now the negative people are looking for a foreign to have it cool sweat,no one will cook for others to eat without paying the price.Money sending on those foreign coach should be spent on our own Ghanaian coaches,to face the fact,Ghanaian coaches are capable doing good job,I know with the success of Kwasi Appaih,other Ghanaian coach are preparing for the job of the Ghana senior national team in care Kwasi Appiah give way.The GNPC must go hell if they think because of they sponsorship they will pork their nose in the work GFA then their are mistaking.Kwasi Appiah has been with the team till now and he the right man to take the Ghana national team the Black Stars to the WC.It's about time to appreciate our own local coaches.

People should not beg GNPC. We should voice out and resist to protect what is ours .We can only succeed with that mentality. Ghana is for Ghanaians. We should all come together to resist shallow minded on top.

Hey brother,you have explicitly done it all.
KWESI APPIAH IS FOR REAL,NO MATTER HOW HIS CRITICS MIGHT SLICE IT.
Someone has said:
Even if KWESI APPIAH WINS THE WORLD CUP WITH THE GHANA BLACK STARS,SOME WILL SAY,HE DOES NOT STILL BELONG.
We have to celebrate and nurture what we have been offered,and start with the little that we have,
The apostle Paul,in the bible said:
I PAUL HAS PLANTED,APPOLO WATERED,BUT IT'S GOD WHO GIVES THE INCREASE.
God can still take,the meanest,stupid,the commonest and the foolish things of these world,break it,wash it,melt it,and fashion it to his own desire,to confound the wise and the prudent,to the shame of the devil,but to bring glory to his holy name.
Unfortunately,such truth has been hidden from the wise and the prudent,but has been revealed unto babes and the suckling.
And ye shall know such truth,and that truth,would make ye free.
KWESI APPIAH IS FIRING ALL CYLINDERS,BELIEVING IT OR NOT.
He is the guy to lead AFRICA,NOT GHANA ALONE,TO THE PROMISED LAND,WITH THE BLACK STARS,PERIOD.

of all the coaches going to Brasil, only one will win the cup. Why are some Africans so stupid and full of inferiority complex.

The web publication has made writing so cheap that anything gets published. The writer did nothing to tell readers what efforts the GPNC is making to bring in a foreign coach as he suggests in the caption of the story. If it is the old rumor we have all heard it. People should write when they have something new to share and stop wasting space. This is not a journalism classroom.

Did anyone remember that coach snubbing Akwasi Appiah when Ghana scored against his country? What about that Yugoslavia coach who strategically allowed Yugoslavia to beat Zaire 7-1 so that his home team would qualify. Also, which of the expatriate coaches have led a country to win the World cup at his first attempt? Let Akwasi Appiah try and get the experience. God is the only football expert.

Where was the foreign coach during the qualifying stages. Please the time has come to believe in ourselves. If the foreign coach is good why is he/her not coaching his/her country or local team. If the person is not good enough to coach local football team why should we employ the person to coach national team. If Akwasi Appiah has been good enough to coach the national team to qualify for Brazil then he is the right person to take them to Brazil. Why can't we be proud of our own. We always underrate ourselves. If people at GNPC think we need foreign coach then they should not be there they should employ foreigns, so call experts to manage the affairs of GNPC. We have heard enough of the so call experts where we pay them far too much for rubbish. Do you think they would come to coach your team if they could get coaching job in their country. The prophet has no honour in is own country

GNPC wants to foist foreign coach on ghana?
