– –<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIf Stephen Appiah wants to play a key role or wants to lead the GFA, he needs to have better academic knowledge and certificates,\u201d Oduro Sarfo told Onua FM.<\/p>\n
In response to the comments by Oduro Sarfo, Charles Taylor was disappointed, terming it as a senseless submission. He said Oduro and his ilks should use their common sense to effect a drastic change in Ghana football because, despite their academic qualifications, they have done nothing for Ghana football.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the GFA, I believe Oduro Sarfo ranks first among those who speak before thinking. He speaks before realizing what he has said is inappropriate. If you wish to tie school [education] into what Stephen said, then they [GFA] have failed miserably. Because, despite their schooling, they are not achieving anything at the FA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would also urge them to learn some common sense to improve Ghana Football, as it worked for previous leaders who had little education but common sense. Just look at the state of Ghana football. Do you think we can run football through education? Taylor told Angel TV.<\/p>\n
Taylor\u2019s comment comes days after Stephen Appiah\u2019s revelation that he used his own money to buy plane tickets for his teammates in the Black Stars and pay their winning bonuses to make the team attractive to them. <\/p>\n
Appiah revealed in an interview with Sompa Sports that he periodically had to pay for the players\u2019 plane tickets because they thought the Black Stars were boring.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\nThe ex-Juventus athlete acknowledged that he had once awarded winning bonuses to teammates following games. He claimed that he had been hesitant to help the Black Stars regain their competitive standing but felt compelled to do so now.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing that is painful is that some of us are very humble. But when you know your value, you don\u2019t want to do certain things or mingle with certain people. We all want to help because we have helped before even if it wasn\u2019t enough,\u201d he said during the sports programme on the aforementioned radio station.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time everybody(players) had no interest in playing for Black Stars. There was a time I had to pay for players\u2019 plane tickets to Ghana and there was a time I paid winning bonuses,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old, who is not impressed with how the team is run currently, implied that he regrets spending his money on the team, but hopes things will get better.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo today if I see how things are been done, I ask myself why did I waste my money? But we hope that one day it will be well,\u201d he said sadly.<\/p>\n
