An aspiring chairman of the Ghana Football Association and Chief Executive Officer of King Faisal Football Club has waded into the ongoing rumpus between the Football Association and the state agencies imploring the FA to use a common sense approach in dealing with government. Vincent Odotei said the seeming flexing of muscles, posture and utterances by some FA officials have been the reason for the stand-off between the FA and the Economic and Organised Crimes Unit (EOCO). The Crimes Unit only last Tuesday raided the office of the FA with a court warrant acquired through an ex-parte motion and took away nine Computer System Units, files and other documents belonging to the FA. The action provoked huge controversy with the Ghana League Club Association voting to suspend all leagues in the country, and FIFA issuing a deadline for government to stop interfering in football matters or risk being banned from the Federation. Commenting on Joy FM’s news analysis programme News File on Saturday the King Faisal CEO said the FA must desist from hiding behind the monopoly of FIFA and build consensus with all stake holders, particularly government. “We must look at our posture, our utterances and we must be guided by what even the Bible says by Jesus Christ that the laws were made for man and that man was not made for the laws. “This sinister and overzealous clinging on to FIFA rules with laws…in the modern day they will tell you that you need to tamper those things with common sense and pragmatism. He said leadership of the FA has not shown enough sincerity to government adding “no matter what we do; no matter how we try to invoke the laws of FIFA; no matter how we drum up our independence we are the relationship that we have to forge with the state is crucial.”
