He could have taken it to FIFA as many other Coaches have done with many other countries and FIFA would have paid him the money owed and charged GFA plus fees for it.That is how most of the Coaches resolve their non payment grievances.Gerard just wanted to create a scene.He needs to pay all his bills before leaving the country.

Better him than Ayew.This is the first time I have seen GFA putting the welfare of the players ahead of the foreign coaches.Usually the foreign coaches were the first to be paid while the players are left begging in the media for their bonus or payment.I say this is a very refreshing and democratic change.

I felt sorry for him in the beginning but it became clear that the money wasn't his main goal.Even Grant left without getting paid right away.

He was enjoying a five star care free 7 week vacation which he thought was free.
But of course GFA wont pay for his hotel fees anymore because his services under GFA was over. He should have checked first with GFA before deciding to stay.
Although, it would be nice if GFA were to pay the bills for him. But I'm sure at this point the bills are deep into the thousands of $$$. So maybe like what Kwabena said, share the bill with GFA?

GFA must pay for all the expenses of the mediocre foreign coaches they employ in Ghana. If GFA can not afford to maintain the lavish style of these low-class European coaches, then please do not employ them, don't bring them into the country. Why not employ top-class, good, sensible low maintenance local coaches who speak the same Ghanaian languages, as most of the players do, understand the Black Star Players' culture and so put an end to all these useless European-connected coaches who practically do their coaching of the national side in Europe rather than in Ghana, where they're employed to be and coach.

Even France,England and the powerful United States have had a payment snafu every now and again.You didn't hear of Coach Klinsman holed up at Trump Towers because of a payment delay,did you?That is because he is a professional and there are ways for Coaches to get money owed them without fighting with their employer .Did you think Ghana was the only country that has ever had delays in paymentS?Check the FIFA books,they are still chasing after EU countries for 7year old debt owed to contractors they failed to pay.Know the facts before you take sides against Ghana.

The title should be " GERARD GUS TRIES TO LEAVE HOTEL WITHOUT PAYING HIS BILLS.He isnt entitled to a free stay at the hotel and the hotel is entitled to be paid for giving him accommodation.If he wants to be reimbursed then he has to take it up with the GFA. He shouldnt try to defraud the hotel.

The pay delay is a breach of contract no matter how you slice and dice it. Settling the amount owed plus accrued interest will be a face saver for the GFA and Ghana. Just when becoming the butt of international jokes at the last World Cup in Brazil seemed to be fading away into history the entire nation is suddenly fingered for gaining notoriety in scaring prospective businesses away because of the high cost of doing business in Ghana, according to a recent statement attributed to the US Ambassador. It's impossible to build a prosperous nation on a foundation of controversies and corruption.
If Gerard NUS salaries were paid on time there would have been no need for his extended stay at the Hotel. I will risk a bet on my bottom dollar that the unsettled hotel bill if it's not handled promptly and prudently is bound to generate another controversy over doing business in Ghana which the nation does not need at this time. A stitch in time saves nine.

The West is always going to look for excuses not to do business with Africa and that has nothing to do with paying football bills.Argentina, Spain, Greece and Italy have debts ten times the size of Ghanaian economy yet they get investment.And by they also owe money to contractors, coaches, footballers and past dues.Stop being such a stupid puppet and open your eyes.You are the embarrassment not Ghana.

This is not the Ghana l was born and raised . All these incompetent people must be removed from GFA positions. A contract was signed for these reasons .
