How much can the GFA pay Mr Grant compared to what he's going to make at the Aston Villa club. He's just considering the fact that we are good and loving people here in Ghana and that's worth more than money to him plus the peace and respect from the team. God bless Ghana, God bless Mr Grant.

From what I saw at the AFCON, Grant is only good at selecting the right players for the right positions. His tactical and strategic ability is still in question unless the penalty fiasco was created by someone else. He is getting away either because of earlier support from the GFA or because he picked up the Black Stars only a few weeks into the tournament.

My hunch is that he took advice on the penalties from those who hav been with the team during AA era, principally, Mr. Konadu. Please note here that Iam blaming anyone. All the penalty kickers did their best and we must bear in mind the enormous pressure, tired legs, adrenalin and heart pumping. The goal area can appear smaller and the 12 yards longer. Afriyie Acquah and F. Acheampong are both excellent players and I am sure if they take five penalties they can get 4 or 3 to be a goal. well done B Stars

I have nothing against the guy personally, but adopting the 352 would have been a nightmare for our defenders..Secondly, grant is not very good at selecting the right spot players. We saw razak' inefficiencies from day 1. He used atsu on the rightwing, instead of using jordan on the rightwing and using atsu in the pocket. Appiah has never played in such a high profile final. So why even start him as an 8? Especially against a star studded ivorian team? Dede was playing 10 and 11. Gyan had no one working for him constantly so he had no shots on goal in 90minutes. As for penalties die3 boooo booooooo. Who was our best penalty goalie and why wasn't he used? Was braimah our best penalty goalkeeper? Evidently not

No matter what the nay-sayers and the non-appreciatives say,the second place finish in Africa must be a vicotry for the Black Stars, Avram Grant, GFA, and the nation Ghana, taking all factors and circumstances into consideration. Well Done, Boys. Better luck and penalty shots in the future. We do have the gene to be the greatest, and WE WILL sooner or later, come hell or high water!!

I think he is enjoying the warmth and gratitude of the people, and don't forget the weather.
England is too cold. He does not need any winter clothes in Ghana. I don't think he is going back England soon to stay. He mighty even be here to take us to Russia 2018 World Cup.
He will take Nyantakyi's $100,000 a month ($1.2 million a year) over Villa's $250,000 a month ($3.0 million a year).

KG, the Prince might have said it in jest.
Moreover, that's the nature of business - you try to entice the talent that you think is best for you.
The Prince must have been in business mode, nothing untoward Ghana.

Mr Grant,I am begging you to get a video of the 1982 Black Star squad for Afcon and study the history of Black Stars.In 1982,we had players who went to Afcon unprepared yet they won the cup.In my opinion,that is the best squad Ghana has ever had.Even though there was not much financial interest but the players were just perfect.Please get the video and it will help you to shape the new Stars well.GFA must also produce copies of
the 1982 Afcon video for public debate,a therapy for soul searching.Thank you.

Tell you something, you stay in England for 5 years in an average of 5 degrees most of the year and you will know why a smart person like Grant will rather soak up the sunshine, be worshipped and respected by all in Ghana.The natural talent that he has witnessed with the BS would have amazed him. You don't get that in England, it's the long ball and running 100 mph that you see. Grant is a multi millionaire, money does not mean Jack to him, but the passion for the game, the natural football talent on show in Ghana, the peace and tranquility and the warmth of Ghanaians appeals more to him now than anything cold England can offer. Enjoy it Acram Grant

I'm very pleased that, Avram Grant has recognized long ago the quality of players and the standard Ghanaians have and expect of football in the country.. so much so that, no mo,ney or royalty, nor a Royalty's mouth like Prince Williams could move him away from his well-established principles and devotion to duty and contract. Hopefully, you and the Black Stars will do so well over your initial 2-year contract period that, GFA would honour you with an extension which you said you'd accept. Accept it and continue to work, my man! Let Prince William taake his mouth and eyes somewhere else!!
