Mr. Jonathan Abbey Pobee, President of Neoplan Stars Football Club, has said Black Stars coach, James Kwasi Appiah, is not being truthful to the Ghanaians, following the expulsion of the Ayew brothers in his recent call-ups into the national team.
Jordan and Andre Dede Ayew, once again missed out on the chance to feature for Ghana in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, after being left out of coach Appiah's 21-man squad for next month qualifier.
But the highly astute football administrator believes that, the real story behind the removal of the Ayew brothers was being shrouded by Appiah, who according to him is not showing good managerial skills.
"The truth is that, Ayew brothers are not in squad because of their refusal to honour the Congo match last year and coach Appiah is not handling the issues properly and we have to put the blame at the doorsteps of coach Appiah, because he has failed in his managerial dispensations," Mr. Pobee told GNA Sports.
Mr. Pobee urged the incoming normalization committee to take a second look at the captaincy wranglings, he said, "I think this captaincy issue should be properly looked at once again and I would urge the normalization committee to address this issue with the coach.
He added, "Appiah did well by eliminating the 'coup makers' in the Black Stars, in his previous call up, but recalling Harrison Afful in his current squad is very dangerous step as it could rekindle some backlashes in the team," he said.
The Black Stars would be looking to cement their position in Group F of the 2019 AFCON qualifiers when they face of against the Harambee Stars on September 8, 2018.

It's true no one is indispensable in d Black Stars but we are not children ; Kwasi Appiah has something to hide regarding d Ayews.
whom do you think the Ayew bros are? do they have automatic call up? what captainship issue should we look at? blackstar has a captain and what issue about it should we need to address? are you telling us Ayew bros had problems or were challenging the captainship of Gyan or they were above the captain? I can count about 10 players not being called why single out the two? you're the people who create problems for local coaches and the entire blackstar team. let me tell you, there's nothing special about the Ayews that should call for attention when they are not called.
Pls master go and sleep.. we will not play black star today or tomorrow.. we want players who will respect our coach
Are the Ayew brothers the only players in Ghana?, my friend get lost and leave the coach alone to do his work.
