oh why? Greed or what? any transparency? Can't SA tell us what is in it for Ghana? Should football contracts always be shrouded in secrecy?

U SEE..WE HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES BCS THE GFA N SPORTS MINISTRY ARE CONFUSED ON WHAT THEIR MANDATES ARE.
1. SPORTS MINISTRY IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING, REHABBING SPORTS INFRSTRUCTURE FOR THE YOUTH N PPL OF GH. YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO RECEIVE OR GIVE BUDGETS TO THE GFA. THAT ONUS IS ON THE FINANCE MINISTER NOT SPORTS MINISTRY
2. GFA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR USING THEIR BUSINESS ACUMEN TO MANAGE THE VARIOUS NATIONAL TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY. GFA ACCEPTS MONIES FROM MANY SOURCES INCLUDING GOVT, FIFA, CAF, GNPC, AND SPONSORS. RELY ON THAT, RELY ON MERCHANDISE SALES, REVENUE FROM NATIOANL TEAM FRIENDLIES, TOURNAMENT PARTICIPATION ETC TO RAISE REVENUE FOR THE NATIONAL TEAMS. IF U NEED MORE MONEY, U GO N BORROW FROM THE GOVT OR BANK AT A LOWER RATE. THE STATE IS NOT OBLIGED TO SUPPORT U FINANCIALLY BCOS THE NATIONAL TEAS ALONE HAVE THE REPUTATION TO FUND THEMSELVES. IF U PLAY A FORENDLY AND REFUSE TO NEGOTITATE FOR A HANDSOME REWARD. WHO MUST U BLAME? UR MODA OR FADA? NYANTAKYI IS A FUCKING THIEF. HE HAS BEEN ENGAGING IN DILUTING FIGURES N MISREPRESENTING FIGURES TO THE STATE FOR ALL THESE YRS. HE IS EVADING TAXES N LYING TO THE STATE N DUPING THE GOVT AS WELL.
3. MINISTER CAN DISAPPROVE OF THE FRIENDLY BUT HE HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER THE GFA IN THIS REGARD. GFA IS A WHOLLY OWNED, SUBSIDARY OF THE NATION GH AND REPORT TO FIFA RULES. MINISTER SHOULD NOT GIVE GFA A PESEWA. IF THEY NEED MONEY LET THEM GO SEE THE FINANCE MINISTER.

If care is not taken Ghana football will be destroyed under this white elephant minister. He doesn't even understand why he is there as a minister.He claims there is no money he should go and ask Dzifa Attivor.

S. Africa is burning. Students are demanding free education for varsity students. My daughter is involved. Government has mobilized security services to deal with the problem. How safe it is to honour this useless friendly?

Is a good decision by the minister to check these public funds being spent on football. We cannot give out all our money to the GFA whiles the are other disciplines to be supported. We are now practising cost and benefits analysis in our sports. Is a good decision by the minister . Mr Nii Lante Bravo for your good work. We pray for God blessing for you

If indeed he is the Sports Minister and he does not know as at now (just days away) whether a friendly is to be played or not, then this guy is really clueless.

The only show in all of this is Mr Grant our coach, who has kept his dignity and does not run to the media every second he gets to spew nonsense.

Since when is it the sports minister's prerogative to decide on the preparations the National team needs. Has this guy lost his mind?

If he thinks he knows better how to get the team ready for now and future games, he should just sack the coach and take over.

Is he so clueless that he does not realize the "team" needs more than the occasional qualifying games to build on their cohesion?

Does he also not know that for cohesion building it does not necessarily depend on strength of opponents, etc.

If strength of opponent is what matters, then he should only sanctions friendlies against only the top 10 FIFA ranked nations!

It is just revolting to hear this guy talk sometimes about the Black Stars.

His job is to liaise with the coach and the GFA hierarchy to make best decisions for the team as a whole, not him sitting his somewhere and spewing nonsense as to which friendly games we should play, which games the national team should forfeit (by using only local players) and how much he (as the minister) is prepared to pay as winning bonuses.

In fact my simple conclusion is that the President of the country should either fire his ASS or mandate him to desist from handling anything to do with the Black Stars. He is just not smart and is clueless as well!

He should know by now that as a football loving nation, there are sometimes hefty prices we are willing to pay just to see our national team attain the highest accolades.

I rest my case!!!!!

As I understand it the host team actually pays the visitor in these friendlies. If I am correct, I am not sure what Nii Lante is trying to do here. I seem to remember that the argument against playing friendlies in Ghana was that Ghana would have to pay the teams to come. If something has changed please let me know.

The attitude of the minister demonstrates the jealousy and arrogance of power. NDC is in power so they must call all the shots! Give it to them and they can't achieve anything. They will only bring shame just as the former minister displayed at Brazil. The GFA has challenged you with a budget. You prepare it, supervise, disburse and acount. That too you still have a problem. Jealousy.

pls.minister l beg you in Gods name,what you doing now is very dangerous to the senior national team.even if GFA.president Mr.Nyantakyi is realy corrupt as a lot keeps saying with no prove.remember years back when Ghana can never step a foot on world cup soil.this man Nyantakyi was our prophet breaking the jink of that diesease.l remeber one time at Wangara hotel sitting down with Sam Johnson black stars most dependable defender at that time when the then sports minister Mr.E.T Mensah sent a msg.from the castle to the team for all the players to get inside and sleep.if you know how most of the players reacted to that response.thats when you know how to deal with football profs.Nyantakyi has done a lot for Ghana football so give us a break and rather comply with the GFA.a word to wise is enough.

Who is this man to deny ghanaians the pleasure of their national team? How often do we see them play lately? Should we wait to see them play only at tournaments? I think he is at a wrong place.
