This man made more money in a week than Appiah made in several months,he travelled first class and stayed at least posh hotels at our expense.He spent more than 90% of his time abroad and attended fewer local matches than we can count on one hand.He plunged us from the #2 in Africa to the #30.And he did all this without so much as a cough from the Mahama's ministry of Sports who only intervained when it benifited Northerners.All those asswipes who couldn't wait to throw Appiah over board because he didn't win the WC had nothing to say to the fact that Grant couldn't qualify us for the WC.

How can you train the Ghana Black Stars if you are not to stay in Ghana. Avram Grant is a clever thief. Sorry for being a Long Distance Coach.
No one can blame Avram Grant anyway. Kwasi Nyantakyi and the Ghana Football Association officials are to blame. These guys are simply stooges. They sign contracts without looking at it. They don't read. They simply say, "where do i sign?" and they quickly put their signatures to it.
Avram Grant is calling all you guys; Lawyer Akwasi Nyantakyi and his friends, "FOOLS IN SUIT"
Idiots!

No wonder Ghana football has gone down drastically! And if we think we're a powerhouse ...we should come again! Foolish leaders ...just throwing out the nation's cash. Thank God for osei kyei mensa and other wise guys in govt now...pls cut the gnpc sponsorship and use it to build this nation. THIS NATION CANNOT BE BUILT ON FOOTBALL!

TELL me someone... how much have invested ..and how much have we earned when it comes to football? We would be so foolish as a nation to keep investing in a business that never profits the nation!

Our forefathers will toss in their graves ...how we have become a nation of misplaced priorities and corrupt officials!

Sick nation... no leaders... beats me!! Ghana is hemorrhaging to death and where are d wise men? Where are the great leaders?

For this arrogant and uncommitted man to even wear the national colours on the job was like pulling a tooth. He would rather wear his Israeli colours in managing our national team. Never seen such disrespect anywhere.

This is insulting. How can you stay outside 98% of the time and help the local league? Yes, most of the senior team play outside. How often do they assemble for a game ? Do you have skouts? Did you monitor them from London? Why not monitor them from Ghana? This guy over stayed even his vacation without any consequences. HOW STUPID WE ARE ALWAYS BOWING TO THE WHITE SKIN.This is an eye opener. If the GFA appoints any such looters again, there would be a revolution. I would rather appoint the coach of a local third div. Team to manage the senior team rather than a foreign coach

Don't blame Grant, GFA is made up of crooks. They did not tell Ghanaians the truth about the nitty-gritty of Grant's contract. They always throw dust in our eyes. They never clearly define in his contract to stay in Ghana to develop local talent, so Grant had a lee way to travel. He was only in Ghana to eat the Jollof....LOL. Why will Diaara hesitant to release the full stipulation and pay of Grant'scontract? Read between the lines.

It's only in Ghana that leaders think they have no accountability to the public. Nobody knows what exactly Grants contract stipulates. So it could be right from the word go that he will not stay in Ghana.

That's why the GFA should this time find a Ghanaian born coach that will be comfortable to stay in Ghana and also watch the local league. We have to learn a lesson and avoid expatriates.

Why is this guy not writing again? He wanted a foreign white coach by all means.Look at what this Grant man is telling Ghanaians now. His stupidity percentifies! You accept the contract to train a national team and sit in the plane every two days to observe players. is it not only in Ghana this can happen? He came to enjoy and nothing else. The GFA also even hid his salary to us just to assist him dupe Ghanaians. The GFA should be probed for this incompitancy and possibly sack this Kwesi Nyantakyi.The GFA should also not venture to bring in any such white coach. I once wrote the GFA would one day beg to bring back Akwasi Appiah who did far,far better than Grant.Fools. GHFUO,talk again!

I always wonder where GFA president Kwasi Nyantakyi got his law degree from. Where did he attend school? His low IQ is a big disgrace to his personal being and the law profession. On his watch, all the various national teams in Ghana have destroyed and the national league is nothing to write home about. And because of stupidities reigning on the minds of premier league teams owners, they keep on voting for this Nyantakyi and his low thinking mind. It's too sad. And, shameful.
