“Somebody thinks he is the only person entitled to give his players the various platforms into our national teams”
Coach Nimley also accuses the FA president of nepotism.
“It is shocking that Kurt Okraku and his people think they are the only people who have the right to market their players and sell them to put money into their pockets, so we’ve gotten it wrong at the basic level.”
He continued, “About 70 to 80 percent of players selected into all our national teams belong to the FA President and his people. Are your players better than the players of other teams?” he quizzed.
