  Some jobs when you been there for too long you start to lose concentration, this guy in the caption must go. It is time we have a new GFA BOSS. YOUR TIME IS OVER AND PLEASE LEAVE WILLING BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOPELESSLY.

  This author and the folks supporting this article don't realize the implications of what they are talking about. It will be a good idea to read fifa rules and regulations on how to replace an FA president. If we want to change Nyantekyi, we will have to abide by the rules, which means, he can't be replaced until his term is over.
  
  Don't start anything to put the country's football progress in a ditch. We want peace and should allow peace to prevail. There is no time to start a fight we know can't win. If we want to do anything, I plead with all of you to go by the book.

  I want the Ministry Youth and Sports ban Let the GFA,GBA and any sport organization stand on it own. Run like corporation with results as the goal. I for one strongly believe that Akwesi Nyantekyi is destiny not win any AFCON no matter how many times he would change the rules to stay in power.

  NIGERIA TO WIN AFCON CUP SEVEN TIMES!!!
  
  Nigeria will keep the AFCON Cup for a very very long time before Ghana ever think of smelling it. With or without your 'juju' we shall keep the CUP with the power of Holy Ghost on our side, and Jesus Christ, our "keeper" shall 'KEEP' the AFCON CUP for us, for a very very long time.
  
  (AFCON CUP TO BE JOINED BY "WORLD CUP" very soon). 'Super Eagles' of Nigeria, shall soon become "World Champions" very soon in Jesus mighty name, Amen. (It is settled in heaven). I really mean business, and with very 'POWERFUL PRAYERS' for the 'SUPER EAGLES' of Nigeria, and the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth on our side, VICTORY IS OURS. This is no joke! No weapon, (like 'Ghana JUJU'), fashion against us shall prosper. Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
  
  Therefore, you Ghana people should stop dreaming of laying your hands on that Cup for a very very LOOOOONG TIME. All of you Naija HATERS can go to HELL.
  
  I AM YOUR NEMESIS.

  There is a simple strategy: Should the BS fail to qualify for the WC 2014 due to the shortcomings(inefficiency?) in the administration/management of the GFA/Football in Ghana, the Govt. should interfere and get rid of the GFA mafia and coach , this would let the FIFA suspend Ghana. But since at least for a year no important international football activities would involve the BS & co. (we have failed to qualify in almost all the important "tournaments"), the Govt. could use the time to put the "Footgall-House" in order and go back to the fold of FIFA! This strategy has been used by various countries ("greyzone" in FIFA regulations?!): It's up zo those in charge at the sports ministry to be "bold"!

  The Presiddent of the republic through his Mister of of Sports has a lot of latitude and they should act to save Ghana soccer!.
  I do believe that we in Ghana are crazy enough about soccer that a Mistry should be considered for Soccer Affairs! Stop this mediocre personalities with no soccer knowledge being promoted as Minister for Youth and Sports?????
  WE NEED A MINISTRY OF FOOTBALL aka SOCCER.

  Having said all these, it all comes from GFA! Are they saying that, they did not know AA was not up to the task? They have something to hide. For now let's forget about going to Brazil, for we are building a team and there is no end in sight. Please, let us encourage former talented players like Abedi to opt for coaching. Had it been Abedi attached to 4 foreign coaches for that length of time, he would have been up on his feet by now. GFA should be dissolved. How come there is no former Black Star player in their midst?

  Pressure has to come from CREDIBLE sports writers, players and commentators who see the faults of GFA and make this public in a considered and well presented way so that the public can see the deficiency and pressure can be mounted for change.

  YES EVERY SWEET THING HAS BITTERNESS ATTACHED TO IT and the attempt to avoid this bitterness is the result of our 31years of our African Cup of nations darkness. In the first instance GFA seem to rubber stamps to Coaches. Secondly Coaches are fond of calling players stubborn, disrespectful , insolent and so on and so fort, thereby intentionally refusing to invite the right players and GFA also swallowing whatever the Coaches say. Infact I think no coach can actually give an example that they to GFA to Ghanaian. AFTER ALL NOTHING HAPPENS FOR NOTHING and until we stop it we shall keep on counting years.

  My plea to the GFA is to stop the politics concerning who the Ghana Black Stars coach should be at this moment after AFCON. My suggestions are: 1) to go for MILO, 2) send Akwasi Appiah for a coaching course and 3) keep KONADU as the Assistant coach of MILO.
  Akwasi Appiah had been given this opportunity for 11years; is time for him to move on, for Konadu to have this chance to enhance his success as a coach, with compliments to what he achieved with with Ashanti Kotoko.
  Milo given the chance once more, would be a wise thing to do now; he knows the Ghanaian style of play, and with players now at hand, one would think with the little twist, our team can be well equipped to face any team for the WC.
