Man of Sorrow! What a Coach?

Bashir Hayford - In bed with Wahala?

 scene in Ghana, it should not be difficult for any observant person to notice that Bashir Hayford is a candidate for special treatment from the gods of sorrow.

 

It really must be a hard life for one man to end up in a negative situation everywhere he goes. Lets just go back three years.  Just because he was appointed a national team (Black Starlets) coach, Bashir Hayford received the most vilifying treatment from his Power FC employers.

 

 One would have thought that Bashir would have a beautiful time with the Starlets so his former employers will be shamed. Initially, appeared to be having fun. Successfully, he constructed what might go down as the best U17 team Ghana ever raised in a decade.  Then the gods of sorrow decided to select him for more troubles.

It strikes me as odd how Ghana deputy coach Akwasi Appiah always gets involved in controversy when he gets near Black Stars. As a player, Akwasi Appiah captained the Black Stars from the late 1980 until the early 1990s when he was controversially stripped off the captainship. According to Black Stars folklore, this singular act of ‘injustice’ led to political and tribal divisions in the Black Stars and led to the massive failure of Ghana in world football between 1992 and 2006.

Milo is product of Nestle. A cherished cocoa drink which is symbolizes all beverages in Ghana. Over the next two years, Ghana, with the help of Puma sponsorship will line the pocket of rookie coach Milovan Rajevac who does not have any national team experience with a little over a million dollars. This excludes expenditure on all the free pegs that come along with the job.
