dont try bringing him.... his first stint was poor... bad selection.... he even caused Schlupp/Duncan (and nearly Ashimeru) to retire from BS.

It's official, Ghanaians are now the most foolish people in the world. Otto Addo was a joker and nothing has changed.

This Kurt Okraku and his GFA cronies cannot be trusted in selecting of a coach. Why Otto Addo? He was the same as Chris Houghton in failure. Do we need a change or just want someone we can canive with? Ghanaians are angry and bringing Otto Addo will make things worse. Give the job to Essien and pair him with Tanko/Laryea Kingston.

Coaches should be independent in player selection without any interference from those above, that is the only way that team will make it.
Bonuses should be paid as stated in the contract, no excuses what so ever

GFA and their media friends are trying too hard. Duncan and Schlupp are way better than Baba Idrissu, Salis, and even Elisha Owusu. I don’t agree with players throwing the toys out of the pram because they were not called but from outsider looking in, it appears Otto Addo despite his caliber is calling Exco members players or it’s just in bed with the FA to make money through calling certain players to raise their profiles in others to get them better contracts and earned their commission. Let’s put Ghana first for once

I respectfully disagree with the Schlupp and Duncan infatuation. Those two have been called in the past and did not impress. In my view, spending huge amounts of money on a European coach is a knee jerk reaction. Let us take our time and have Otto Addo as an interim coach. At the end of the day, we are starting from the bottom. We are not winning a cup anytime soon.

You may be right about Schlupp and Duncan not impressing when they were called but that was when they were quiet young. They are now in their prime and way better than Salis, Baba Idrissu, and Elisha Owusu and I believe you would agree with me that Blackstar call ups should be based on current form before anything else.

The day you appoint Otto Addo , all stadiums in Black Star matches will be empty. Don't try at all. Last night I read all Ghana matches when Otto was in charge. We were in the same situation like now. We laboured to beat Central Africa republic and the likes. Get the reasons why we don't want him.
1. In our last match against Uruguay , when we needed a draw to qualify , he disappointed all Ghanaians .We lost 2-0. Everybody complained about Baba Rahman and he included him in the squad . All our opponents Portugal , South Korea and Uruguay attacked only from that side. WHEN SCHOOL BOYS SAW THIS WEAKNESS, OTTO DID NOT BOTHER. In that same match , Kudus our best player on the day received a yellow card. Otto naive coach subbed Kudus for fear of getting a red card. Our staying in the competition depended on that particular last match.You bring him out for which next match? Boys scout mistakes.On that day, Otto was completely lost , confused and alone.
2. After our early from the world cup, he said he was resigning to go back to his club .His posture was arrogance and one of I don't carism. attitude. He left Ghana with no feeling. One of the comments I read on Ghanaweb was please don't come to Ghana again.
3. Ghanaians were made to believe that Chris Ofun Hougton knows the BS players already so it will be easy for him to take over.That should be the last time we make such a dumbest mistake. We see the mess he created . And now another hypocrite ( JP , GAttusso ) is writing to buy our minds.

Give the job to Otto Addo. His coaching resume is far superior than what both Song and Cisse had before they were appointed by Senegal and Cameroun. Besides, Otto has been coaching for close to 15 years so he's very qualified to do the job. Bring Kwarasey onboard as the keepers trainer and appoint essien as his assistant.

Otto Addo was treated unfairly by the fa. During his short spell, he worked under pressure to perform because the person (Chris Houghton) who was supervising him wanted the job. I thought he did well and should've been retained. Houghton, whose tactics are archaic was imposed on the team by the government.

They want to play players belonging to Exco members and Otto is currently the only one with a bit of pedigree who would do that for them. Remember how he continued to play Baba Rahman despite majority of football lovers disagreeing. GFA would destroy the national team. They want to keep doing it till the stadium is 80% empty during Blackstar games

Otto showed impartiality, he penalized players who lied. He is a strict disciplinarian. He has a huge pedigree to defend. He is a Ghanaian, an old Black Star Player but he has an international exposure, unlike previous Old Players. He believes in hard work and he can read games. No Ex Black Stars Player has what he has. And no foreign player knows Ghana football more than him.

Coach Otto Addo is not different from coach Chris Houghton. Coach Otto Addo' s call ups and player selections are not different from coach Chris Houghton and he is afraid of the GFA officials and he will be depending on them for their agency players. Coach Otto Addo also doesn't believe in local players and he will not invite them into the national team or use them in matches. Coach Otto Addo is not different from coach Chris Houghton. Ghana Black Stars will continue to show poor form and can't win matches because coach Otto Addo can't be independent of the GFA officials.

Foolishness of the crazy GFA is getting out of control, how can you think of bringing Otto Addo back to come and do what exactly? This guy was in there and couldn’t give us any results as needed, so we kicked him out and within a few months you’re wishing to bring back? What have changed since he left? Has he been able to do anything positive for the team that he left or you want to bring him back because the GFA is able to control him that’s why they want him back.

Eii Ghana,
Second coming with Black Stars Coach hasn't work before and won;t work now,
Kwesi Appiah came back - no improvement
Milo? too

-- get a coach who will build a team a strong defence, we have been conceding too many goals these days,
--- a strong midfield with players who wont allow opponents to sniff our defence , players in the mould of Essien,Annan and Wakaso, midfielders who can deliver pinpoint long crosses to our attackers, players like Appiah, Muntari and Wakaso.
We are blessed seasoned wingers and attackers but without a strong midfield they are found wanting .

In my opinion, Otto Addo should be given a second chance because he was not all that bad in his first stint with the team. However, the FA should not pair him with someone who also eye the head coaching job in the shortest possible time. Some of the assistant coaches usually undermine the work of the head coach to get him or her sack so that they come in to fill the position.
