WELL-SAID. HE MUST DO THE RIGHT THING!
Kwesi appiah 4 by 1 coaching blacks stars should not think that he's the best coach in the world.has he (appiah)not done worst things when he was playing for the national team?GHANA 0-2 Zambia.
I challenge you to recall one single incident Appiah had playing for both Kotoko and B/S. Ofui.
I JUST SAW MUNTARI GET SUBBED BY ALLEGIR IN THEIR GAME VS PSV. WHY DIDNT MUNTARI TELL ALLEGRI...WO GYIMI S3M? TOO MANY FOOLS IN GH. MUNTARI IS A GREAT PLAYER. HOWEVER, WHAT HE DID WAS FOUL N HE MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. HE ...

The Apology letter should be enough. Appiah should watch out because at a point where all these Asamoah GYAN, ESSIEN, KPB refuse to play for the Ghana, it was sully who devoted his time to play
Pastor, I'm surprised that you are supporting wrong doing as a minister of God. Advise Sulley to apologise to the coach and don't encourage him. This is not the first time Sulley has been insolent to his coaches.

he can be very useful @ club football; in blackstars 90 mins cant be sustained. will he accept sitting or hopefully starting from the bench?
i agree with Akwasi Appiah 100 percent but there is a big problem with the management
Ooop, y does such good players like Suarez, Cantona n our muntari sometime misbehave like that....?i always bear to differ....
He should make sure he doesn't loose the match...all we need is results not respect period. Appiah can bear witness that his own kids don't respect him all the time.
you are so fucked.so foolish..You will never be of Sulley's Class.
waste man coach we need muntari tooo
Why Muntari didn't insult any of so called white coaches, some Ghanaians respect them more than the black coach . Some people need to grow up.
muntari should play bcos we cant rely on asamoa djan to score but with muntari for sure we can score enough with the punishment this is critical point of our soccer association.
Kwasi Appiah u have to call muntari
u want only asanti players stop that Kwasi Appiah
There should never be a way back for Muntari, he is arrogant and disrespectful and as such a bad influence to the black stars. Kwasi Appiah should give someone else that opportunity.
