THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS A BIG NO. TWO CAPTAINS CAN NOT RUN THE SAME SHIP. A NEW TECHNICAL DIRECTOR IS GOING TO BRING CONFUSION AND DIVISON IN THE TEAM. HE IS A GERMAN AND IT MEAS WE HAVE TO PAY FOR AN INTERPRETOR LIKE WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH THE FOREIGN COACHES. WHY CAN'T AFRICANS MANAGE OUR OWN AFFAIRS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANY WHITE TEAM ASKED US FOR OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. WHY ARE WE ALWAYS LOOKING INFERIOR. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT BLACK MAN CAN MANAGE HIS OWN AFFAIRS. ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLING FOR A TECHNICAL DIRECTOR SO THAT THEY CAN GET THEIR 10%. OH BLACK MAN. IT IS TIME WE WEAN OURSELVES FROM THE WHIT MAN. KWESI APPIAH HAS BEEN DOING A FANTASTIC JOB SO FAR AND LET US GIVE HIM THE SUPPORT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TEAR HIM DOWN. GO "KATAKYIE" YOU CAN TAKE US TO BRAZIL AND I WILL SEE YOU THERE. YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT AND THE TEAMS SUPPORT.

If You think the black man is good at managing his affairs like the way Ghana is fast becoming rich and the people are enjoying life, then why don't you leave US and go back and help build Ghana.

We just come here to comment. Ghanaweb publishes a whole lot of mistakes in almost every article they publish, do they correct them later? I've read the guardian and New York times on few occasions and I read Washington post almost everyday. All these big time news papers publish stories with mistake in spellings and so on. Yet, they never come back to render apology. This is one of the many reasons why I don't come back to correct any mistake I make here. My only concern is to carry my message across period and not to worry about the mistakes I made.

@Rasheed???... you appear combative and going hard on others.. I guess the point on board here is; if a tech Director is needed for coach Appiah? PERIOD...So, please just state your case and make your point and do not be personal. This is what we do & now Ghana is in a big mess since we always turn every issue into NPP-NDC; thus leaving valuable work undone and the "stealers" keep stealing till we wake up one day to see the damage we have inflicted on ourselves... I wonder who keep bringing this issue to us and don't understand it either...Why: is it to destabilized our preparation against Egypt or what? Hmmm? You see how the black man do not have confidence on his own? Look at Kofi Annan former UN Sec Gen.... He proofed himself didn't he?.. Sam Jonah did his part in Industries and mining Didn't he? Prof Frimpong Boateng etc etc.... and there are many more to site but that is not the issue... Let us build on what we have and can move mountains if we are determined and united and not tearing each other !!!!!!

Meanwhile, Appiah is taking $30K less than Plavi, what sense does it make bringing in an expatriate then?

This German coach Klaus Toppmoller, has been fired 5 times in his coaching career...why even bring up his name. Appiah and Konadu do not need another boss. If Ghana fails in Brazil, it will be a lesson. ......and blame should be on GFA. My only issue is with the way Appiah was hired....he was handed the position. That said, he has improved his handling of the team, and I think he will continue to get better because of the higher standards expected of him. People forget that the team that we have now is of a higher quality than we have ever had in recent years. Ghana never gets this quality of players for Afcon. We usually get most of our best players for the world cup, but not for Afcon. Another observation: Appiah has gotten very good at making substitutions, something that Ghana lacked in the last 3 Afcons. We have a stronger bench now, hence substitutions either yield more goals or stabilize the game.

Chris is right in his analysis. It is so sad that in Ghana people who think their word surpasses all others will be very imprudent in their judgement. Jawula has been the most imprudent of all at this stage of our qualification to Brazil. So ill-timed even if there's a genuine need for a technical director. Perhaps it pains Jawula to see Appiah to have made such a marked improvement in his career. This is subtly a case of pull him down (PHD). Jawula can say anything to look good, that he considers Appiah as a son and whatever,it's simply a sign of imprudence with a subtle malice. So ill-timed!

Chris I'm with you. Appiah can do the job besides he's been to the world cup before as an assistant coach without any technical director during Milo's era so why now? If there are plans to look for a technical director, I'll advise we rather split the money for the clubs in the premier league to support them. Appiah has done better so far than his predecessors and he should be left alone to continue. We need to believe in ourselves, that's the way forward. Appiah should take us, if we even get walloped by all the teams at group stage, we should still come home and do our corrections. Such is life, you keep rising and falling till you get it right.

What is wrong with extra help be it from Tamale or Tokyo? Appiah is still coach but an extra advisor can only help. Mind you the BS has not gone past 4th place in 2 consecutive Afcons.

Ghana and other African nations have advanced. Gone are the days, when going to an international tournament is like going to outer space. The players and the coach are very confident. They are ready to face the best European and South American sides. Quite simply, all we need is 1) Make sure to finish the job in Cairo and 2) Play a number of very challenging friendlies before the WC. This is 2013/2014. Going to a big tournament is nothing new. My position is that all we need to do is score goals. If we have a team that can score 2 to 3 goals a game we are likely to win most of our games. It all depends on the group we get. If we get a manageable group in the WC, anything can happen in the knockout rounds. If we are put in the "group of death" in the beginning, I would be a bit worried. At the end of the day, we just have to face whomever is thrown our way and do our best.

NO! Coach Kwasi Appiah and Maxwell Konadu are capable of managing and handling the team; they've shown beyond doubt that they know what they're doing. I wonder who is proposing such a move.

All Coach Appiah and his assist need is sponsorship by various businesses and sports organizations as well as the GFA for them to get insights to what's technically new in the coaching profession, to prepare them well ahead of the WC-2014.

In my profession in the Oil field, I'm mandated to update my certificate as new info and technologies are revealed. Coach Appiah his sights set on Brazil 2014. Let the GFA and businesses who share in his dream give him the push by way of sponsorships and scholarships to go dig into latest tricks so we may all share in the glory when he succeeds.

Ghana has a typical devil. Whenever glory is near, then a wrong move is made that brings confusion to lock the door to glory.
That was what happened before we went to Senegal 92. Close to 10 years the Black Stars had failed to even qualify for an African Cup competition. Then a new generation of players have arrived - Abedi Pele, Anthony Yeboah, Prince Polly, Frimpong Manso, Emmanuel Ampiah, Emmanuel Armah (Senegal), Stanley Aborah, etc. It was a team with super stars - a team that did not depend on just one man. Such teams don't just happen; it a long time to have such talents congregating at a time. And the "magical" Bukhard Ziese was appointed their coach. Even in a qualifying group with Nigeria who had a team they referred to as their "dream team", we qualified as group winners with 2 matches to spare ie even if we had lost the last 2 matches, we would have still topped the group. When all was set for Ghana to go to Senegal and lay her rightful claim to the African Cup,then the devil struck. The coach, Bukhard Ziese was fired. A new coach, another German by name Otto Pfister, who had led the Starlets to win gold in Italia 1991, was appointed to take over.
As a new coach, Otto Pfister, as if to stamp his authority on the Black Stars, foolishly promoted many of the members of the Starlets team into the Black Stars. Thus inexperienced players like, Mohammed Gago, Issac Asare, Odartey Lamptey, etc became first choice Black Star players. This unwise decision weakened the team to the extent that without one man called Abedi Pele, the team had no cutting edge. So it happened when Abedi Pele was not available for the finals because of a red card in the semi-final, Ghana failed to win the cup.
A similar drama is brewing now. After qualifying for Brazil in grand style (Egypt will definitely be brushed aside 19 Nov), the devil has again touched some decision maker to realise that the Black Stars need a Technical Director. Why this confusion when we already have a coach whose confidence is peaking and the team has good momentum?
If a white technical director had been appointed nearly 2 years ago, nobody would have raised an eye brow because we were all made to believe that, the Black Stars top job was meant for white men.
I hope that this is mere rumour without any substance. But should it turnout to be true, it will greatly derail our efforts in Brazil.

WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW IS SUPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND MORE EXPOSURE FOR KWASI APPIAH, MAXWELL KONADU AND OUR LOCAL COACHES WHO HAVE PROVED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THEY CAN DO THE JOB MORE THAN THE SO CALLED WHITES. MY QUESTION TO JAWURA IS ;WHAT TECHNICAL BRAIN DO WE NEED? AND FOR WHAT?. NOW WE HAVE THE BLACK STAR TEAM WE HAVE CRYING FOR. SCORING AT LEAST THREE GOALS PER GAME, THE BOYS ARE NOW COMMITED AND FOCUSED, MORE DISCIPLINED, GET ALONG WELL WITH THE COACH. WHAT THE HECK THEREFORE DO WE NEED A TECHNICAL DIRECTOR FOR? TO SEND US BACK TO THE ONE GOAL PER GAME SYNDROME THEY LEFT US.

AT A MEETING OF HEARTS OF OAK PLAYERS AND MANAGERS DUNCAN WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE SAYING THAT KWESI APPIAH AND KONADU WERE PLAYING THE KOTOKO CARD IN INVITING PEOPLE TO THE NATIONAL TEAMS. I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERITABLE LIE BECAUSE THE LOCAL BLACK STARS IS MADE UP OF PLAYERS FROM ALL THE PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS EXCEPT HASSACAS. THAT HAS ALSO BEEN EXPLAINED THAT THE PLAYER WHO MET THE SELECTION CRITERIA FROM THE CLUB WAS LATER FOUND TO BE A TOGOLESE. IF ASHANTIS ARE ABLE TO GIVE US THE DESIRED RESULTS WHY NOT ALLOW THEM? AFTER ALL IT WAS ONLY THE ASHANTIS THAT WERE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN THE DAYS OF YORE. IT WAS ONLY THE ASHANTIS THAT WERE ABLE TO ESTABLISH A KINGDOM WHICH AT THE PEAK OF ITS POWER OCCUPIED AN AREA BIGGER THAN PRESENT-DAY GHANA. THIS IS A HISTORICAL FACT. THE BRITISH REGARDED ASANTE KINGDOM AS CIVILIZED BECAUSE WHEN THEY ATTACKED AND CAPTURED KUMASI THEY SAW LARGE QUANTITIES OF BOOKS WHICH THEY TOOK BACK HOME TO STUDY.

The progress we see now is the result of the experience of the players and not the technical know-how of the coach.
