Listen to another being there seen it all and get off your "white horse" I do not meant the whisky. I like said to you and I am saying it again.

Ivory Coast on 2010 get rid of their coach who had qualified them and brought in Sven Goran Eriksson thinking big name coach would win games for them look what happened to them. Whoever came up with Tech Director's idea was stupid and self serve that person was looking for way to make money off Akwesi Appiah's success.

Now I would leave you with with speech JKF gave at Rice University in the city of Houston TX.

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

This is how greatest is achieved.

This your reference of Erikson handling of Ivory Coast is neither here nor there. Let me also give some examples to substantiate my point.in 2002 Nigeria took a local coach Oyigbini and messed up. South Africa also took a local coach and fumbled. At least, those "white" coaches you hate so much, are the same coaches who have given Africa the laurels. Appiah certainly needs help!.

Instead of asking for help he is bragging cuz he knows he will be fired after the world cup... this is not about trust but qualification

And he's going to do exactly that. If we get there and got walloped by all the teams, we'll come back and keep working harder. Until we get it, we'll never stop. No foreign help biaaaaaa

What laurels Rasheed? The best position for any African country in the world cup so far is the quarter finals. Even that, it's only 3 countries out of the lot. So where are the laurels you're talking about?

I seriously wish even a tenth of Ghanaians were able to see things from your point of view.Half of our problems will vanish the moment Ghanaians figure out that no foreigner is going to come and develop our nation for us and then get back on the next flight back to his country.Unless we intend to give up our freedom then I suggest we roll up our sleeves and get to work.It is not going to be easy or pretty but that million mile journey will begin with that first step.

Lets bring in foreign economists to handle our economy, that is what we need to do. Lousy politicians and football administrators.

You are one of those with that mentality. "nothing good can come from your own" Get out of your slavery mentality box. See the good in your own people.

Africans are capable of managing their own affairs. Mandala did it,and Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah made African Voices to be held and for that matter not being side-lined. Look at European soccer, Italian soccer,and Germany soccer the blacks in there are making progressive impact to their various teams and to the soccer game but ironically most of these black players players were trained initially by their local coaches before getting to that pedigree of the game. In this regard I think local coaches are equally good as foreign coaches or even better. James (Ghana) Stephen (Nigeria)more grease to your elbows you've really made African coaches proud. Go out there in 2014 world cup to prove Africans in particular and the world in general wrong to ignite the words of our first president Dr. Nkrumah saying "Africans are capable of managing their own affairs"

I could not have agreed with the former Black Star defence man. As he rightly said, Akwasi Appiah and his assistant should be properly paid and also motivated. If Akwasi Appiah has been able to qualify the senior team for the world cup then he deserves the nation`s support and encouragement. The same should go for his assistant and the entire playing body of the senior national team. They should be encouraged, motivated and challenged to prepare seriously for the world cup next year.

Listen folks no stone should be left unturned because this is the opportunity at hand and must be seized. You guys should not let it slip out of your hands for you never
know.

If money is AA motivation then the good lord help us... He should be happy he is the coach even though he lacks technical knowledge of the game. You need to have the ability to think
Logically as well.., not just coach.

TWO INGREDIENTS MAKE A GREAT FOOTBALL TEAM. THE MANAGEMENT STYLE OF THE OWNERS OF THE TEAM AND THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL AVAILABLE TO THE MANAGEMENT. WHEN THESE TWO CLASH AT AN OPTIMUM LEVEL SUCCESS REIGNS. THE INFLUENCE OF A COACH IS VERY LITTLE. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR PLAYING MATERIAL IS NOT GOOD NO MATTER THE QUALITY OF THE COACH PERFORMANCE WILL NOT BE SPOT ON. HIRING OF FOREIGN COACHES IS A RELIC OF COLONIAL MENTALITY.
