AshantiGold left again, Eric Donkor needs the suspended Ghana football year canceled.
“I consider the greatest way is the cancelation of the league,” Donkor tells Joy Sports activities. “I have read Deputy Minister [Perry Okudzeto] converse about what would be included in testing players every single week. He mentioned we would need to have about GHS 60,000 to examination players each and every 7 days.”
“Are our clubs eager to expend that kind of cash to examination gamers when there is no substitute approaches of building income? Even if they are willing, do they have the funds? Simply because for each what the Deputy Minister stated, it is incredibly pricey, and the ideal choice for me, is to cancel it.”

In other jurisdictions, initiatives are currently being designed for the resumption of soccer after just about 3 months out. Donkor reckons, this shift seems difficult in Ghana simply because of the indiscipline nature of footballers.
“I have browse a great deal about the Bundesliga, La Liga, Italia Serie A and now, the EPL I have examine the actions they have set in place, but how disciplined are we as footballers to abide by all those polices or policies listed here.
“We read how a mentor broke the lockdown procedures and was punished, can we punish a mentor or a participant if he violates the guidelines in spot. We want to be specific about the discipline of everyone right before we make a determination on no matter whether to go on or terminate the league.”
