\u201cAppearance fees and other remuneration needs to be settled and locked in now.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my case, the government said they will give them $75,000 they received from the previous World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players also felt that FIFA has increased the amount of money given to each participating countries and since they were players they deserved more and they asked for $100,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it was that dichotomy which wasn\u2019t resolved until we got to Brazil that created all the problems and I was caught in the middle because I was part of the cabinet decision and cabinet decided to give them $75,000 but they insisted on the $100,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe even sent a delegation of Dr. Adu Asare and Dr. Mustapha to go and meet them in Montenegro and convince them but it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt had to take H.E Amissah Arthur on the field of training in Brazil to change the cabinet decision from $75,000 to $100,000 and announce it to them before they will play the first game.<\/p>\n
\u201cSubsequently they now said because there\u2019s been so much confusion they don\u2019t want any remittance through the bank, we want to see physical cash.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo all these things were avoidable.\u201d Elvis Afriyie Ankrah told Radio Gold Talk Sport.<\/p>\n
