Sports News GFA: Micky Charles hits out at Saani Daara
JUL 8, 2016 LISTEN

The President of Techiman City, Charles Kawdwo Ntim has expressed his dissatisfaction with advice from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communication Director, Ibrahim Saani Daara asking his club is to write to the FA if they are uninterested in continuing to be members of the Premier League.

Techiman City threatened to to pull out last week, and the former Choice FM journalist said:

'We will welcome an official letter from him (Charles Ntim) saying that he wants to pull out of the league, we will welcome that. If the kitchen is too hot for Techiman City, I will suggest that they happily pull out, there are 48 clubs fighting for three slots so if they do they might make things easier by promoting four clubs to next season's league.'

The comments of Saani Daara irked Mr. Ntim, and he said his words are worthy of expulsion from the association describing him as a beneficiary of his affiliation fees.

'You see why the FA is struggling? If you have a communications director and this is how you communicate to members of your association [then we will always have problems with the FA]," Micky Charles as he is affectionately called in football circles reacted in an interview with Joy FM.

"When last did he ask for the price of a pair of boots? I doubt he even knows what mercurial boots are. You come out to tell the whole world you will welcome our letter if we write officially to withdraw from our league. Are you happy about that?," he quizzed with a disappointing voice.

Micky Charles also revealed that Randy Abbey, a former Communication boss of the FA was never paid during his days, but Saani is paid but clubs through their affiliation fee and that has made him who he is.

He believes a 'serious' football governing body would have relieved Saani Daara off his duties.

"From 2006 to 2010, Randy Abbey spoke for the FA and we never paid him.

"For Saanie, we pay him by contributing to our affiliation fee which makes him wear those big suits to go to Zurich and Cairo for those congresses. It is the football we run here that has made him reach where he is.  If we were serious, Saanie Daara should have left the FA.

"A member of the association, I pay you with my affiliation fees and you sit on radio and tell me if the kitchen is too hot, I should get out? Those bonkers he has been saying, I would have descended down to him but I have been charitable with him.

"When the time is right, everyone will see my smoothness level," he threatened.
