He averred that the statement from Stephen Appiah is just an affirmation of what many ex-players and legends have been saying in the media space in the last couple of years.
“Legends and former players are not getting the chance around football administration. I have learned something, that football is run by footballers. It is not the grammar or English that you speak,”
"What he said is true we need to blend it now a lot of people think that a lot of footballer's experience should take over. People think that footballers are not intelligent what we know is not a joke."
"I agree with Stephen 100 percent that this the time we have to do what we have to do so that we get in there and do what is right for the nation. We all think about the nation if we don't think about the nation we will never do those kinds of sacrifices. I won't mention names but we have a lot of people who are very intelligent in football they are very knowledgeable they think we are all kubolors," Sam Johnson said as quoted by footballghana.
