For all the points, it is only the second one that is viable and concrete enough and can be measured or assessed. The rest are just hanging statements. Now, is FIFA going to bear the cost of travel, per diem and other related bills for the delegation that will travel to Zurich every now and then just to deliberate on interim measures for Ghana Football? Or is it going to be on the account of the Ghanaian tax payer? I smell chop chop somewhere..... Anyway Kudos to govt for now.
Is that all you discussed for 2 key reps to come down to Ghana ?? Naffin concrete in these 4 decisions. Tell us what you intend to do... whether FIFA, exGFA, nowGFF, Ghana Gov... what's in the pipeline...?
This is the beginning of the end. The so called football cannot be saved by FIFA
THAT'S THE WAY TO GO. PEOPLE AT FIFA ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND NATURALLY THE KIND OF STEALING AT GFA, CORRUPTION OF REFEREES AND DECADENCE IN FOOTBALL WILL BE WORRYING TO FIFA. FIFA SHOULD GO A STEP FURTHER AND ASK THE FORMER GFA PRESIDENT TO ACCOUNT FOR FIFA CASH GIVEN GHANA OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. UP MINISTER, UP NANA ADDO.
