Medeama SC’s appeal against the Player Status Committee’s ruling on their case against Samuel Boadu has been dismissed.
Medeama filed an expected appeal against the decision of the Ghana Football Association ordering former coach Samuel Boadu to pay a compensation of GH₵ 30,000 to the club which the two-time FA Cup champions challenged the decision.
Medeama insisted the Player Status Committee erred in law after failing to punish the gaffer despite establishing in its ruling that the former Hearts of Oak coach terminated his contract without a just cause.
The club said the decision is against the Committee’s own principle and precedents as captured in similar rulings in the past.
In its appeal to the Ghana Football Association, Medeama insisted the Player Status Committee erred in deciding that “all relevant and applicable conditions captured in clause 7 of the contract shall apply.”
They, therefore, asked the Appeals Committee to overturn the “selective decision” of the Player Status Committee and a declaration that once the committee established that the respondent unilaterally terminated his contract, he should be made to suffer the full consequences.
The Ghana FA ordered Boadu to pay his former club GH₵ 30,000 for breach of contract.
Medeama were seeking for “substantial damages” in the region of GH₵ 320,000 for the arbitrary decision by the coach including compensation but the Status Committee initially rejected the residual value of the unexpired contract petition by the club in their ruling hence the appeal.
However, the Appeals Committee on Friday, July 9, 2021, has dismissed Medeama’s appeal.
