IS NII LANTE NOW SEEKING TO BE THE COACH OF THE NATIONAL TEAM????????? WHO THE HELL DOES NII LANTE THINK HE IS, TO ORDER THE COACH AVRAM GRANT TO CHOOSE CERTAIN PLAYERS OR NOT, THE MINISTER OF SPORTS, HAS NO BUSINESS RUNNING THE GFA OR DIRECTING AVRAM GRANT OF ORDERING HIM TO SELECT LOCAL PLAYERS FOR RWANDAN GAME. AVRAM GRANT SHOULD CALL THE BLUFF OF IGNORANT AND ARROGANT NII LANTE AND SELECT THE PLAYERS AVRAM GRANT THINKS FIT. WITH THIS, JOHN MAHAMA HAS THE GALL TO CALL OTHER PEOPLE "DICTATORS" AND DIVISIVE> DICTATORSHIP IS HAPPENING UNDER HIS, JOHN MAHAMA'S OWN NOSE IN HIS NDC GOVERNMENT, YET HE FALSELY CALLS OTHERS DICTATORS???????? VOTE THESE NDC THUGS, THIEVES AND LIARS OUT 2016, TO SAVE GHANA FROM DOOM, GLOOM AND DESTRUCTION.

The Honduras Senior National team coach is also the Olympic team coach, yet in Ghana we pay top dollars for a coach to stay in England to only call up players being trained by other coaches together for a couple of day before matches. Now I ask you wouldn't it be nice for the coach of our National team stay in the country and work with the local with some localpotential player to include on the National team, I'm sure there has to be more players that are better than the bench warmers coming from Rurope. A food for thought.

I know you want to promote the local players but the forces you qte dealing with are professional criminals. They can promised the guys the heavens and even pay them not to win the match so they will lay the blame on you. Only if the local players willing to prove their worth. Now, even some foreign based players will intentionally not play well to win and we know them. They know how to throw away important penalties. Thanks.

I will be extremely surprised if the coach yields to the demands of this dimwit. Nobody, not even the president of Ghana has the nerve to tell a national coach who to select into the team. It's not in his contract. However, if the minister doesn't like the coach's decisions, he can terminate his contact. I hope this is not true. The GFA should be strong enough to challenge this scumbag and call his bluff on some of these issues. He is an arrogant brat who will roll over you if you don't challenge his scare tactics.

That's not the case here. You hire a coach because you know yourself that you cannot coach the team. The coach, based on his experience, monitors all players and makes the best selection for the national team. Any interference on his job constitutes a breach of contract unless it is made as an advice, which he is not obligated to listen. Every coaching contract has that level of autonomy built into it. The minister can fire the coach for no cause and pay all the legal obligations involved but he cannot order the coach to do something that's not part of the contract. I can bet that this minister is just blowing hot air. He can never fire nobody within the GFA or the coach just because his stupid tantrums are ignored.

If Nii Lante wants to be the coach of the national senior team, he should apply for as soon as possible. There is no where in the world where a sports minister select player for a manager or a coach. It is only in Africa an Ghana in particular where this is found. It's a disgrace to the nation. So if the team doesn't perform who will be blamed?, the coach or the minister. Does Lante has sense?. The best thing for him to do is to take the coach's job as well.

there is a sayind that 'if you don't even like the antelope, you will definitely have to admire its running' I may not like the style of the new sports minister, but on this matter I agree with him 100%. the constant and persistent use of foreign players for the black stars have not helped our national league or to say players in our national league strive to achieve excellence. it also have a negative influence on our players who play for the junior national teams. this is as a result of the fact that these players realise until you ply your trade outside the country you will never have a chance of featuring for the black stars. therefore when they get the opportunity to play in the junior national teams, instead of playing as a team, each individual tries to show case his talents in order to attract scouts and win contracts abroad which hitherto affects the total performance of these juniors at international competitions with Ghana becoming the loser.

FIFA Rules & Regulations are also quite clear in this matter.

The Football Association is INDEPENDENT of the State and the State has no control in the affairs of how the Football Association is managed.

FIFA will be within it's rights to either suspend and or expel Ghana from the Association if this Nii Lante IDIOT does not seek proper legal advice and go ahead with his BONKERS plan.

Avram Grant is also within his rights to resign and seek CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSAL from his employers thje GFA if they allow this buffoon to carry on interfering with his job.

This crazy bnastard does not know that a Coach constantly needs to test the readiness of his team to he coaching methods especially when they are not locally based and scattered all over the place.

This is not ampe that we are plating. This is Professional Football and there is a lot at stake.

I expect Kudjoe Fianko and the GFA to vigorously challenge this stupid and foolish decision of this ignorant and foolish Minister.

NII LANTE'S AIM IS TO GET RID OF KWESI NYANTERKYI, BUT HE WOULD FAIL. WHAT KIND OF INTERFERENCE IS THIS? COACH GRANT SHOULD INCLUDE NII LANTE IN THE TEAM BECAUSE HE USED TO BE A GOOD STRIKER DURING HIS PLAYING DAYS AROUND BUKOM. ALL WELL MEANING FOOTBALL ADMINISTRATORS SHOULD CALL UP NII LANTE BEFORE HE THROWS THE GFA INTO A MESS. NII LANTE THE KOBOLOR MINSTER IS A DANGER TO GHANA SPORTS.

Noting that these players get to play together only once in a while, such games still help to achieve team COHESION and understanding. Wearing a BS shirt should only be on merit.
