Don’t use foul language to express displeasure – GFA’s Prosper Harrison Addo tells Ghanaians

Published on: 26 January 2023

The General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association has urged Ghanaians to desist from indulging in the use of offensive languages to express their displeasure about the happenings in Ghana football.

According to him, it is unfair to rain insults in expressing their views on the activities of the domestic football governing body.

Earlier this week, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prapram claimed that the Black Stars job has been given to Chris Hughton, who served as the technical director of the national ta the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

He added the FA has decided to appoint the former Brighton boss to lead the national team, a coach the FA Can manipulate.

Responding to the aforementioned claims, Prosper Harrison Addo said, “Anyone who says that should know, that statement is very insulting. It is insulting to whoever coach they are talking about. The coaches are also fathers and so, if you cannot insult your father then you also don’t have to insult someone’s father”

“If you say that we are manipulating a coach, it means that coach has no sense which is insulting. A lot of the people who are talking don’t know the kind people they are talking about. If they really know the people they are talking about, they wouldn’t have made that statement that we manipulated Otto Addo, Chris Hughton, CK, Milo or any other”

“It is very unfair when those statements are made. Sometimes, people feel that when you insult the FA you don’t insult anybody but we have people who work here, I am the General Secretary so the moment you say the FA is corrupt, you are insulting me but I have not stolen from anyone and once you cannot stand in front of me and insult me, don’t go general like that. You can make your point; we will listen”

Ghana is currently without a substantive coach following the resignation of Otto Addo after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The domestic football governing body has been in the haunt for a new trainer for national team.
