The administrative manager of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Cudjoe Fianoo has reiterated the association’s intention of taking over the running of the Premier League.

In a chat with a Kumasi radio station yesterday Fianoo disclosed that a stakeholders meeting to discuss the issue is to be called so that the clubs can take over the organisation of the league soonest.

Fianoo described as untenable the situation where a member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) management board is the Chairman of the Professional League Board whilst a deputy Secretary General of the GFA is also the secretary of the PLB.

The GHALCA administrative manager noted that the GFA has already too many jobs on its hands managing and seeing to the organisation of the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Meteors, the Satellites and the Starlets and said to add the responsibility of organising and managing the national league is just too much.

"When we were engaged in a crucial Nations’ Cup qualifier with Rwanda, the GFA was so preoccupied with the Charles Taylor issue to the extent that not much attention was devoted to that encounter leading to the inability of the Black Stars to qualify for Tunisia 2004. This needs to be changed," Fianoo asserted.

He said GHALCA is determined to revolutionise the game to bring it to acceptable levels like what pertains in South Africa. The GHALCA administrative manager announced that next year winners and runners-up of the GHALCA Top Four competition would play the top two clubs in the South African version of the competition.

Fianoo also disclosed that GHALCA is also studying the German football system at close quarters and will incorporate aspects that will enhance the growth of the game in the Premier League.

In another development, GHALCA is convening a meeting of its members tomorrow to deliberate on its plans to takeover the running of the league.
