Opeele warns Ghana players to stay out coaching debate

Isaac Opeele Boateng wants Black Stars players to stop backing applicants for the vacant coaching job
Controversial coach Isaac ‘Opeele’ Boateng has warned Ghana players to stay out the debate for a new Black Stars coach.
Several players including captain John Mensah and Richard Kingson have come out in support Akwasi Appiah to replace Milovan Rajevac.
Dede Ayew has backed Marcel Desailly for the job while goalkeeper William Amamoo says he wants a local coach for the job.
But Opeele says the players must stay out of the debate to allow the Ghana Football Association to make its own decision.
“The Black Stars players must put up or shut in the coaching debate to allow the GFA the space to choose the right coach,” Opeele said.
“The GFA has shown consistently by choosing Rajevac and Dujkovic that they are capable of doing the right thing by giving us the best coach.
“They are insiders and interested parties so if they join the debate they are trying to influence the GFA rightly or wrongly.
“But above all if they back one coach and another is chosen, they could be victimized by the coach they didn’t back and that could be a problem.
More than fifty coaches have applied for the post vacated by Rajevac three weeks ago.

Just wanna kno if this opeele guy works 4 this site??….y does da site post his views or comments here alwayz but no one else!…seems he’s da only football critic in ghana!
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG FOR THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS,IS A FREE WORLD,SO OPEELE YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP.
good work opeele advise them to be careful in their interview becauos mouth causes problem
QUINCY OWUSU ABEYIE IS ALSO A GHANAIAN,HE IS PLAYING GOOD FOOTBALL.PEOPLE IN SPAIN WONDER WHY HE IS NOT IN THE NATIONAL TEAM,INSTEAD PLAYERS WHO ALWAYS WARM THE BENCH FOR THEIR CLUBS LIKE AGYEMANG ABDU,PRINCE TAGOE ALWAYS GET CALL UPS.SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PLAYERS IN UDINESE AND HOFFENHEIM THIBK OF OUR NATIONAL TEAM.BECAUSE WE ALWAYS INVITE BENCH WARMERS.
Opelee is right
May be he has to reconsider his role as a coach and back off into his new found field.
For once, I” be on Opeele’s sight. The players better shut up, for they might be the ones to suffer any consequences, if they don’t take their time. However, I must also say, the journalists should leave players out of this. They are the ones who always pose the questions. Not every player is so intelligent to get to the bottom of this sensitive question.
SO JOURNALISTS SHOULD PLEASE STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!!
BRETHREN,ALLOW THE PLAYERSD TO WXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS.
The fact that they make thier feelings known doesnt mean they wont work under a coach the FA chooses, should he or her be different from thier preferred choice.
They have been playing and they know better what goes on in camp. After all are they also not Ghanaians like Mr.Talk more do little Opele, who feels a Sebrian should be contracted. If a coach narrow minded coach decides to victimize any player on his comment on the choice of a coach, then I am afraid his level of professionalism must be questioned. This is common with most Ghanaian coaches like Opele himself. Maccini has reiterated his call for Adebayor to stay and fight for a place at Man City inspite of the stand off between the two.
The FA should rather do thier job competently but not completely rejecting or relying on the call of the playing body. They have a point but do not have the final say.
I WANT SOMEONE TO TELL MR.KNOW IT ALL OPEELE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP.
CAN OPEELE MEAN ANYTHING GOOD TO GHANAIANS?
OPEE YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY LOCAL COACH WITH A BIG MOUTH.SHUT UP AND AND STOP BEING JELOUS OF DESAILLY
AFTERALL YOU CANT MATCH HIM IN ANYTHING
For once I think Opeele is very right on this. Players are like the military, the police officers, principal secretaries and directors of various government ministries. They should not take opened publisized stand on the selection or election of state officials. That does not mean that they cannot have a private preference, but coming publicly can jeopardize ones position. Smart people in those positons will keep their preferences to themselves. A word to the wise.
My brothers don’t blame Opeele for his advice,it’s true because nobody knows for who is going to be next Black Stars Coach, and now they start commenting on whom they preffer, for once i agree with you Opeele,so thanks for your advice,and i hope they gona hear your advice to stop commenting about the coaching job,that’s the work of the Gfa not the players.
Opeele thanks for bringing up the other side of the argument.U are a great thinker.U are a blessing to this nation.Ghana dawu ase.
Ghanasoccernet u guys are insane for using HEADING like dat instead of using ADVICE THE STARS TO SHUT UP,the heading dnt go with the story.Bad journalism.
why did opeele add amamoo when he was talking abt black stars players. since wen did he bcome one
Idon’t get it right specifically all this furore iro the black star coach.it is about competence it is about ability to deliver its about competence and this criteria has no color as part of the requirements.please there are standards and qualification if black yellow green blue man qualifies and he applies and is shortlisted why not i was thinking this so call argument will rather center on qualities not ethnicity nor color give the GFA a chance twice they proven their mettle
