If you take what happened to StarTimes for example and the sort of embarrassment they went through at some match venues, the Startimes board will obviously take a second look at the relationship with the GFA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody wants scandals, and no company will pay money for their brand to be scandalized. It is a very huge responsibility to attract sponsors in the league but it is equally important to create the environment which benefits the sponsor without scandal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Ghana Premier League, the Division One League has also been left without a sponsor after head sponsor GN Bank decided against renewing their contract.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Monday, 27 November 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-11-27 Fred Pappoe Former Ghana Football Association Vice President, Fred Pappoe, has called on the leaders of the FA to do their best to reduce the amount of scandals that surround the Ghana Premier League if they want to attract sponsorship.
