This is strange as compared to apperance fee of $100,000.00 per player.
GFA needs to do its home work well support local teams so as to encourage local players to stay and get the needed experiene before they look for greener pastures.
This in return will help builder a more formidable team with much dignity and respect to our mother land.

You may not understand the mission of GFA, but the welfare and compensation of the players are influenced or determined by GFA policies. This is the way FIFA wants football administered.

Whose fault is it to modernized, regulate and institute policies that will improve the viability of the league and it's players you ask? Nyantakyi, the gfa head. Why has he failed or cool neglected his duties you ask? Well, that's for him to answer. Going forward, we need the premier league club owners to assume positions as members of the fa executives. Only the club owners must debate and decide on the fortunes of Ghana soccer, not a bunch of useless so called imminent administrators!

Don't say things u don't know.what Nyantekyie and GFA cares is only the black stars.no sponsorship for division one, two, three, even the Colts teams that produce the players from the grass roots.

The players must go on strike and demand better wage package for all registered players in the premier lg. No policy, no more league. Why collect $25 when john boye, dauda are getting $100,000? Bullshit. No wonder aa in his stupidity refuses to add any local players to the gbstar. Even if the have the talent of Pele. He will still have reservations about adding them becos he considers the local league and it's players as cartoons!

Why are you surprised?This is the reason why Black Stars players feel like demanding their pound of fresh anytime they don the national jersey.No wonder Ghana has not won anything for 32yrs and still counting.

What about those good for nothing so-called officials who accompanied the team? What did they do to deserve the $80,000 they collected. If these players donated their appearance fees, it will all end up in the pockets of these greedy bastards. They will hold thousand meetings, entertain themselves and pay themselves large per diems till that money is gone. It is not the players, it is the officials.

Human rights commission should force the closure of King Faisal FC. Grunsah, the Salaga Goat, should be banned from running any soccer team in Ghana.

Paa Kow,do you really understand what you are saying,maybe you have no idea in Ghana fotball,but let me tell you a secret,in 2006 or so, the GFA ask the premier league board PLB that every team should pay their players a minimum salary of GHC 100/Month and the PLB that consist of all the team members said they cant pay that amount to their players.do you now understand.most players from liberty,olympics,arsenals,wa allstars,dwarfs and others even get less salary than some of the players in King Faisal.there are only about 4 or clubs in Ghana that pay their players GHC100 and above.i played for three clubs in Ghana and i never earned above GHC150.

Don't you think these league owners need to be on the gfa executive cmtee? U have so called imminent fools assuming spots as fa execs. These idiots don't own any clubs in the premier league and don't have a vested. Interest in sports administration in the country. So why are they getting bonuses? These bonuses should never going to the club. Owners. In the nfl, nba, nhl, mlb, mls the ones who make league decisions, vote for the next league head/commissioner are the club owners, only. So tell me why it's any different in ghana? If you can't tell me why then u know nkatasuo, lack of transparency dey inside and the clubs, players must go on strike..NOW!

ALHAJI GRUNSAH HAS ONLY SAID WHAT WILL MAKE PEOPLE SYMPATHIZE WITH THEM BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY SELL PALYERS TO FOREIGN TEAMS? DO THEY ACCOUNT TO ANYONE HOW MUCH THEY EARN? TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, SOME OF THE PLAYERS CANNOT READ OR WRITE AS SUCH THEY SIGN THEIR DEATH WARRANTS WHEN THEY SIGN THESE CONTRACTS. I HAPPENED TO SIGN A CONTRACT AS A PARENT FOR A PLAYER SOME TIME BACK AND THE CONTRACT WAS IN AN OBSCURED LANGUAGE. I ASKED THEM TO TRANSLATE IT INTO ENGLISH AND THEY TOOK IT TO BE AN INSULT. EVENTUALLY I TOLD THE GUY THAT IF I WERE HIM, I WOULD NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT UNTIL THEY HAVE MADE THE TRANSLATIONS. HOWEVER, YOU KNOW AN UNEDUCATED MIND. HE SAID HE WILL SIGN IT LIKE THAT AND SO I RELUCTANTLY HAD TO PEND MY SIGNATURE. THIS GUY WAS SOLD INTO THIS BOGUS CONTRACT BY NANA BREW BUTLAR. A LOT IS GOING ON TO THESE PLAYERS THAT WE KNOW. CORRUPTION BIG TIME!!!

Grusah is not asking for sympathy. If you as a father and your son as a fool were so hungry to yield to pressure and sign a bogus contract then its up to you. Who pays for transportation to match venues? Referee fees....security fees and a lot of other expenses ? I bet they get that money to do that from the bad contracts you sign...
