GFA Go Wild. Equipment Manager Called "Ball Boy"

The GFA are really angry paaaa! Oh my brother, they are so angry that the last time I passed by one of them, there was hot air coming from his nostrils, ears and mouth, not to mention that other taboo orifice. How dare Mr Dzimifa? How dare him call our highly qualified, international kit manager "a ball boy?"



"It is apparent that the description of the kit manager as a 'ball boy' is calculated to bring disaffection for the person in charge of the position even though his role is key for the highly-tuned professionals to perform at the top-level."



And they are actually going to court, the GFA, not to deny the fact that the man was paid a cool hundred thousand dollars for carrying balls and jerseys around, but to express how angry they are, that a man in such a "technically demanding" position, needed to complement our "highly-tuned professionals" is being ridiculed as a mere "ball boy".



Yet, it seems that it is only in Ghana that our players are so "highly-tuned" that we need a 100,000 dollar equally highly -tuned hand to carry their balls around. This is the BBCs reaction;



"Consider a world in which the England kit man is paid as big an appearance fee as Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart or Raheem Sterling.


Tough to imagine? Not so if you worked for Ghana's Football Association at the 2014 World Cup where their "equipment officer" earned $100,000 (£64,000), according to a government report."



No, the BBC got it wrong. What they do not know, is that our players are highly- tuned!! Aha! There-in lies the difference.



And how does one become a "ball boy" for the Ghana Fooball Association? Where was the job advertised? When were the interviews held? How many people were interviewed? What was the job requirement and specification? What qualification did one have to have to apply? I promise you, if I had seen that advert, I would have left my job as a gynaecologist in the UK to apply.



And come to think of it, why should a team manager, video analyst, psychologist, and even a doctor earn the same appearance fees as the footballers who people pay to go and see? It only happens in Ghana where people have become so clever and efficient in the swindling of public funds into their own pockets. I wonder what percentage of the cash actually went into Hamidu's pocket?



And they have the audacity to lecture us about "highly-tuned!". Indeed!
