Highly rated football administrator Wilfred Osei Kweku Palmer has revealed he needed to be straight to achieve the success in his case against Dreams and vowed to continue doing the very best for Ghana Football.

Tema Youth succeeded in turning a verdict from the disciplinary committee of the Ghana Football Association and his desire and determination to pursue the case has brought him a lot of plaudit.

“I was approached with some mouth-watering offers to discontinue my pursuit of the Dreams FC case but I didn’t fall for that because I wanted to prove to the whole world that I had a good case. I must say emphatically that those who approached me are not from the GFA. I spent about $50,000 in the pursuit of this case so I wouldn’t have done that if I knew I didn’t have a good case.” Palmer told Happy FM.

“I’m very much happy now because the journey that we started that nobody gave us a chance, a journey that we started that all sorts of insinuations were cast on my very person as Wilfred Osei and that of my club that were express to even my financial capacity, but when God is in control, you don’t need a lot of resources,” says Osei Palmer.

“I’m very grateful that the players, the technical team and the club to have imposed confidence in me. I showed and demonstrated leadership at that level that irrespective of difficulties in the system, I was able to hold the fort. In the face of financial difficulties, the money to pay for the CAS filing and even to still compete in the league, that it was very difficult to operate.

“Last year by this time, I had given up hope but I something told that, at the end of the tunnel my light will shine.”
