A coach called Milovan Rajevac has just left the shores of Ghana because he cannot wait for the expected 'oil boom.'

Instead, he is currently concluding personal terms for himself and his translator in the most established oil-rich destination of the world, Saudi Arabia. So why we are crying foul? He has not signed yet and even if he does put pen to paper in Jeddah. Good for him.

Was it not just March this year that Ghana's Under-20 World Cup-winning coach was tasked with qualifying the Amavubi Stars of Rwanda for the next Africa Cup of Nations in 2012? Did he not cry to be given the Black Stars job but nobody listened?

Do the names Barreto, Dossena, Zumdick, Le Roy and all the other expatriate coaches ring a bell?

Did anyone force Milo on Ghana? What utter rubbish. What have the eyes not seen or the ears heard?
The simple facts should inform us that Milo owes Ghana no debt of gratitude as some have naively suggested.

Who can blame him? If we do, then we are all being unrealistic and hypocritical to say the least.
Did he not guide a bunch of very talented and motivated Ghanaian footballers to painfully defeat his own country?

Are we a nation suffering from selective amnesia? Was it not just a few years ago that Ratomir Dujkovic resigned as coach of Ghana after leading the Black Stars to the second round of the World Cup? Did he not use Ghana to better his CV?

Milo's accusers insist that he held Ghana up when he knew he would not renew his contract. So it was a betrayal?
Some claim he personally negotiated the sale of players and fielded others to get juicy cuts and percentages of all contracts.
The allegations will continue to surface. The fact that he has left Ghana will never change but should we not be looking in the mirror for the blame or at least answers?

The Serbian was out of contract on Wednesday 18 August 2010. He left Belgrade for Jeddah on Wednesday 8 September 2010.
If we do our mathematics correctly and also consider the fact that he waited for the Ghana Football Association to make an offer, perhaps our judgment of Milo the ''greedy'' coach would be less harsh and emotional.

Ahly of Jeddah has put down a reported $4.5 million for three years. This figure does NOT include bonuses. His family will be taken care of IF he wants them to join him. His now famous and witty translator will certainly join him

From the onset, it was a marriage of convenience as was Ghana's deal with Milo's compatriot and predecessor Ratomir Dujkovic.

I read with laughter and disbelief that the action of Milo has also infuriated his agent Goran Milovanovic, the man who doubles as President of Virtus.

Milovanovic is reported to have said he is "shocked and disgusted by the coach’s sudden change of mind over a new contract with the Black Stars" and adds that Milo’s ''action amounts to a breach of contract and trust".

We are in 2010 and we are still sleeping as we refuse to open our eyes to simple mind games and blatant deception by a very clever expatriate and a sophisticated agency. For crying out loud Goran Milovanovic is a sports agent and profit is what he must deliver at the end of the day not loyalty.

He is now suddenly in love with Ghana and wants the best for the Black Stars and we believe him?. God help us!
