What's ET's point. Who else is better positioned to run their own league than the owners?

You r an idiot, do u know what is conflict of interest? This is an obvious conflict if interest issue and it should be banned. And the foolish ET is in parliament but cannot bring a legislation to stop it...idiots

Kwesi Mugabe who says he was anointed by God to be FA boss until he (nyantekyi) see anybody fit enough to replace him. And this thing is our FA boss

ET Mensah, I agree with you. Anywhere else this would be a conflict of interest.

If I may... I would also like to know what you contributed to sports in Ghana during your tenure as Minister.

True E,T that's why match fixing is on the increase. The second round of the league was characterised by match fixing and this doesn't augur well for our football

Honourable has said it all. How can a player be a referee at the same time?.
The earlier this situation is changed the better for Ghana football.

Separate the league from the GFA and form an independent premier League. You can then appoint CEO and others to run it. Club owners can become directors.

ET is very right on this one. The league club owners association must be independent from the fa. That way they could liase and lobby the sports ministry and the fa to improve the standards and administration of the game more effectively.This is how it is done in the uk. As it is now anyone wonder why our u23, local blackstars and u21,u17 sides are doing so poorly? Any one wonder why the call for quota for local stars everytime we appear to be doing ok? The owners of the clubs who are fa executives must get paid too as agents of players. Kalabule sports management is unsaistanable and as et says is letting us down

ET is very accurate on this ...in fact, i doff my hat for him. Former Black stars player, Sam Johnson, spoke about this before but nobody took him serious. Even the GFA President, Nyantakyi, owns a team-Wa Stars...which is a complete conflict of interest....It was Nyantakyi who introduced this regulation, that you have to own a team or be a club chairman before you can become an Executive member of the GFA. He knew ahead what he wanted to do that's why he introduced such bad regulation. What happens is that because the team owners are the executive members, rules and regulations are made to suit their whims and caprices. The GFA needs a radical change and the only way this can happen is for a new leadership to take over. Nyantakyi threatens the executive members with benefits and travels, which come with travel allowances. The GFA receives aid of football equipment and funds from FIFA, and manufacturing/sponsoring companies to be distributed to the teams...This is where Nyantakyi uses his power to determine who receives what. Because of fear of not receiving any benefit or funds for their teams, the executive members are timid to criticize or say anything that will irk the Boss, Nyantakyi
