Fred Pappoe is certain that the size of the Black Stars Management Committee should not exceed three members, nor should members get the same appearance money as players for the senior national team.
Five of the six members of the Black Stars management committee were paid $100,000 each, the same sum awarded to each of the 26 Ghanaian players that competed in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
When a member of the committee, Alhaji Abdul Karim Grusah, stated openly that members got $100,000, the issue became a big source of contention in the country.
The members of the Black Stars management committee are Mark Addo, Stephen Appiah, Osei Kuffour, Alhaji Grusah, Akwasi Agyeman, Ofosu Bamfo, and Kwadwo Damoah.
“Seriously speaking, I think for a national team management committee to function very well I think it should not be more than three people. If there is a reward system able, it cannot be justifiable to exclude management members from enjoying some,” he said.
“Around 2009 we made a very strong case to President John Mahama that management should be considered when we talking about bonuses. What I have a problem with is the quantum. I do not think that management committee members should earn the same amount of money as players earn,”
