So coach Appiah couldnt do that or did not see that Jordan has to fall back and it has to take a player to do that. What a coach!

Appiah has just lost it. It is good to go .It will save us further embarrassments. I am sad he going though, cos he would justify to others why a ghanaian can't coach the black stars. But we got it wrong to start with, by appointing Appiah while we've got tested ghanaian coaches.

How many times do you want to fail Ghanaians, AFCON, WORLDCUP and AFCON qualifier. He was hired to do a job and he failed but sad the GFA took so long to rectify the situation.

I have said it over and over again. Jordan can only play like Clifford Aboagye of Satellites fame because of his speed and dribbling skills. The only problem is that he doesn't like to pass balls. Jordan is not a striker, he is a midfielder. He can't jump like Dede and he can't shoot. His best shots have always been over the bar, even in front of the post.

what if your Milo comes to do worse and is unable to qualify the team to the afcon. your blame should not be on the players but on your own washed mentality

Every year the Ghanaian media will make the Ghanaian people feel like any of the Ayews is wanted by an European team outside France.
This PROPAGANDA has been going on for a longtime now and the FACT is NO HIGH CLASS TEAM outside France will EVER WANTS any of the Ayews in their team.
IT'S ALL MIND GAMES THEY ARE PLAYING TO THE GHANAIANS THROUGH THE MEDIA.

Dede Ayew is trying to so hard to be the captain. They have serious attitude issues and over rated. Ghana will be better of without them.

He deserves to be captain. Better than the azonto dancer who has zero peoples skills. Has the azonto dancer come up with a one sentence over the Brazil saga?

We need a better Ghanaian coach. Nyantakyi caused a financial loss to the state so jail him like Tsastu(Gbese) Tsikata.

Ghana has passed Nigeria in corruption and with its GDP less than that of Lagos State, the common citizen suffers severely.

We Africans, especially GHANAIANS love to hate their own.
Ghanaians are so GULLIBLE, it beggars belief............................

Kwesi Appiah has been vilified and made a scapegoat out of the INCOMPETENCE, GREED, SELFISHNESS and FAILURE of some of our players and officials who accompanied them....especially those from the GFA. Even after winning his last match, is that what is being said of him? Oh! mother Ghana! I cry for you citizens!

And yet, the GULLIBLE Ghanaians have bought into that debacle at Brazil, at the expense of Kwesi Appiah? WOW!

Okay!.....Now I see why the politicians take Ghanaians for a ride. What a shame!
We always hate our own and love outsiders and are ready to pay them more than our own.

Here we are, going back to get a coach who disrespectfully walked out on us for greener pastures, after our players have exposed him to the world????? Oh! Black man! When????

Osagyefo is turning in his grave.

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Appiah was a disgrace to African coaches. He was the wrong choice to begin with and should have been changed long since. Unfortunately, the lack of vision that marked Appiah afflicts even the President and the GFA.

The FA had erred again in going back to Rajevec Milosevech. The GFA went around the whole change in the wrong way, and so could not even look far for better coaches home or abroad.

Corruption has limited the creativity of people like you and a whole range of Ghanaians. You fail to see beyond your poverty stricken noses.

U live in antiquity, way down in the past. We do not hate our own but we are being frank and objective. We are not behaving like the parent who applauds whatever behaviour their kid puts up.
Kwasi Appiah is not good. Period. No argument about that. It does not imply milo shd be brought back. It is only our corrupt gfa who want him back so that they would get a cut from the deal. Milo was sacked by Saudi Arabia & then by India or so. Milo has been unemployed for the past three years & now the gfa want him so badly that he is almost indispensable ?
What leadership qualities do these gfa guys have? No analytical thinkers in the gfa? No person with brains in the gfa? No person who cares about ghana on the gfa?
With all the pitfalls on the gfa, AA is not the man to handle the black stars. Desailly could do a better job.
Nothing wrong on AA dismissal. It os a disgrace

Stop the nonsense of bashing people who are making good judgement on Ghana's soccer. How in the hell is AA good? What qualities has he exhibited for u to make such a claim?
Are u blind? Look l may be closer in terms of personal relationship to AA than you BUT AA cannot handle the BS. This is an indisputable fact. Please , stop the white man bashing and be objective. AA is not good. He is quiet , he was a very good player BUT as a coach, he is a total failure. Even of we were twins, l would say the same about AA. Facts are facts.

Can someone tell me what Kwasi Nyantakyi is still doing the the GFA headquarters if Kwasi Appiah has got the sack. Nyantakyi should have gone long ago. He is cheeky and also inefficient nowadays. He should go with Sanni who is also another cheeky PRO or whatever. In my opinion, I think there is also too much corruption going on at the GFA Headquarters.
