    Why should South Africa do this to Brother Ghana? Wait until Ghana hired him and hike his salary to lure him away? Can a brother do this to a brother. Let's assume the the implanted story is not true.There're many coaches aro ...

    Its not true even if he goes to SA he'll fail.South Africa do not have the talents to make him successful,do you remember those Serbs who left us mid-way they failed miserably when they went to Asia.

  • anokwale 10 years ago

    I am not so concerned. I have nothing against Grant but Asamoah Gyan saved him with that goal against Algeria. I think Grant knows that.

  • GOODLUCK GRANT 10 years ago

    Tue, true, anokwale.

    And we would have won the Cup if Gyan had been fit for the final.

    You could tell that he wasn't fit as he tried so hard but could not have much impact because of the injury carry-over from the Guine ...

    ghana people you see everybody don't want to stay with you ghanas,hahaahaha!!!conconza people are worser than satan.

  • anokwale 10 years ago

    You are quite correct. Under normal circumstances, Gyan would have come up with a goal during the last 30 minutes or so. At minimum he would have created a penalty. It was too bad but I guess now we know that we really nee ...

    IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT A GOOD COACH BUT ABOUT THE TALENTS AVAILABLE. WHY DOESN'T MORINHO AND OTHER GOOD COACHES MAINTAIN THE RUBBISH PLAYERS AND TRANSFORM THEM BUT GO HUNTING FOR GOOD PLAYERS? GHANA HAS THE TALENTS AND MAKES IT ...

  • Saint Ghfuo: Nyantakyi must go! 10 years ago

    Grant has a terrible track record of finding ways to lose the big one. I never wanted him as ghana coach from day 1 anyway.

  • JJ 10 years ago

    Ghana talent and dicipline is more important than the coach. Focus on that.In fact, if the coach is smart he'll realize that Ghana is making him popular and not the other way around.

  • mensah abrampa 10 years ago

    Bad mouthing and unwarranted criticism will hurt this country unless we put a stop to this unhealthy practice. There are serial callers and serial Ghanaweb contributors who will not just criticize but bad-mouth anything or an ...

  • Saint Ghfuo: Nyantakyi must go! 10 years ago

    South Africa should invest in homegrown coaches just like they have done with their local soccer. Until they find success within themselves. Outsiders will simply be coming to get rich off their hardwork..South Africa collaps ...

  • WHAT'S THIS? 10 years ago

    "highly-respected coach Avram Grant".

    SO NO CREDIT TO KONADU AND APPIAH, WHO QUALIFIED THE TEAM?

    "The former Chelsea manager"

    WHAT ABOUT THE FORMER PORTSMOUTH MANAGER (RELEGATED) OR THE FORMER WEST HAM MANAGER (RELEG ...

    What is impressive about Grant? Lok at the lineup of the first five players for the penalty shootouts! He is so slow in reading games and making effective changes. He is not that good of a coach.

  • OSEI TAWIAH 10 years ago

    Let him go. What has Grant achieved for Ghana? Ghana has been in the semis several times in the AFCON. Losing in penalties is nothing new to Ghana and he did nothing to fix it.

  • YANKEY BOY 10 years ago

    Grant has achieved nothing.K Appiah built and Grant is reaping. He is nothing new!!

  • Brofoyedur 10 years ago

    You and osei Tania are full of crap.

  • KDUA 10 years ago

    Who told you South Africa is a brother
    They mention Africa when it suits them . Xenophobic lot

  • Brian Williams 10 years ago

    Demand is higher than supply price goes up. If Grant leaves the Black Stars, Ghana will find an equally good coach. The Black Stars players are naturally good.

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    Go after the soccer guru Dr. Kwesi Appiah instead.

  • Rastafara 10 years ago

    leave him in peace.....South Africa just has a bad team..they can go for the Barcelona or Real Madrid coach and they will still lose...

  • Akadu Mensema in Ghana 10 years ago

    Fake one!

  • KUKRUDU-USA 10 years ago

    DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT ABOUT ?SEEMS LIKE YOU HEARD SOME RUMOUR AND JUST WRITING SOME NEWS OR WHATEVER

  • Ghanaman 10 years ago

    Avram Grant will make 900,000 dollars this year. Shakes Mashaba will only take home about 400,000... So Unless they are willing to offer Grant a record 1.8 million dollars a year I doubt he will leave.

  • GEORGE 10 years ago

    I really do not think grant will stand so low, even he refused an offer from prince Williams of England to guid one of their teams. Besides grant will never talented Ghanaian players and go for South Africa which is low in fo ...

    Avram is not leaving the most talented team in Africa (Ghana) that has the most potential to be the first African team to win the world cup, for a less talented team (South Africa) that might pay more money. You make your nam ...

    It's just the wind pass. Grant isn't going anywhere.

  • Mr. Mensah 10 years ago

    AVRAM KNOWS WHAT IS GOO FOR HIM.SOMETIMES MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING.
    FAME AND ACHIEVEMENT AND REPUTATION ARE KEY FOR SUCCESS AS A JEW HE IS PRINCIPLE AND I KNOW GRANT WILL NOT BLACK STAR UNLESS AFTER THE TWO YEARS.

  • Ekow Samuel-Paris. 10 years ago

    NOT TRUE.

  • Awabyedys 10 years ago

    We are lucky and he will deliver our hopes

  • Sly A 10 years ago

    Avram is more than determine to achieve what can't be achieved with our rigid Black stars. Allow him to do what he does best. We will just pray for good health for him and leave the rest to God to take over.

    Avram is probably just another mercenary looking for his pension money in Africa.

  • Nana 10 years ago

    Grant is going nowhere, a man of integrity. After helping glorious Black Stars qualify for the World Cup, may extend his stay in Ghana? God be the glory.

  • Mars1 10 years ago

    So you mean to tell me that South Africa FA is so daft that they would like to consider a coach under contract to skip that contract so that they can sign him up! I thought the SAFA is smarter than that, but apparently not. D ...
