Tema Youth boss Wilfred Osei Kwaku "Palmer" insists it was premature to have started the 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season in December last year.

The new season started on December 21, 2019 despite protest from some Premier League clubs.

However, the GFA pushed through and got the campaign underway before the Coronavirus pandemic halted the league.

But former Ghana FA executive committee member says the timing of the start of the league was wrong.

"We had no business starting the league. We should have dotted the I's and crossing the T's," he told Asempa FM

"My team (Tema Youth) were prepared for the league but we rush into it. We should have used the reform process to cleanse ourselves.

"It was premature to have started the league. We need to take our time to win over corporate Ghana before we got kick-in."
