Now let me write about my personal view of Nana Yaw Amponsah (from afar). I have never met him.
Great guy. A visionary.
But that is exactly where the problem is.
The average Ghanaian footballer is something else (also being influenced by some manager somewhere and some relatives and friends who may not be able to analyse issues).
The average Ghanaian footballer does not reason like a ‘philosophical intellectual’.
Politicians, for example, don’t target these ‘philosophical intellectuals’. They are not many.
Footballers, okada riders, zongo/area boys etc have different perspectives.
To get votes, these are the people politicians target.
Getting to their level to communicate is what a great leader would do.
I think Nana Yaw Amponsah still has a lot to learn here.
This new policy of not paying signing on fees…
Great idea (to a ‘philosophical intellectual’).
Misunderstood by the players. Very predictable.
So Kotoko will find it difficult to sign on some good players especially when competing with other teams that are ready to pay the signing on fees.
It happened with Joseph Esso who was signed on by Dreams FC?
For Nana Yaw Amponsah whether he will succeed or not will depend on how he comes down ‘to reason’ with players, their managers, technical team staff etc most of whom may not be at his level of thinking.
What he considers obvious is not obvious to many of these people.
