Ghana football icon, Mohammed Polo beleives Black Stars are failing to win trophies due to the bad treatment meted out to old players.
The country has failed to win any meaningful trophy despite playing the 1982, 1992, 2010 and 2015 Afcon finals.
The team’s inability to win any trophies has been attributed to curses by some ex-players who have been left unattended after helping the country to win trophies.
However, Polo does not agree that the team has been cursed but holds that the lack of appreciation for their sacrifices is reflecting on the team.
The 1978 Afcon winner adds that his former side, Hearts of Oak is suffering to win trophies due to unfulfilled promises.
"I wouldn’t say so but it reflects. Even Hearts of Oak, it is affecting them," he told GhanaWeb.
"Recently, the 64 battalions came out that they were due some monies for winning the Confed Cup but it never came. This one will reflect.
"We were promised estate houses in 1978 but we were not given. It is the former President, John Mahama, who gave us something,” he said.
Polo also appealed to the GFA to make use of the experience of the retired footballers.
“We’ve given our best to Ghana football and we are still giving our best but if they refuse to allow gifted and knowledgeable ones put in their knowledge, we will go with it," he said.
