Palmer has issued official statement to announce his acceptance of the verdict, saying, the verdict brings the legal tussle between himself and the GFA to a finality. He described the win as victory for Ghana football.
“I am gratified by the fact that, this long legal tussle has finally come to an end. Even though I have issues against the main grounds for the final delivery of the final verdict, I have no other alternative than to accept it in good faith and move on in life. At the end of the day, it is victory for Ghana Football”, the statement read.
