As I sit here, I want to raise enough money to either buy Manchester United or Chelsea at the expense of the general public, proving to the white guy that black men can be powerful as well. Like in Europe, I would like to invest in and create an African Champions League.
He emphasized, "Let's build strong leagues in Africa so that we can sell our players to Europe outright instead of smuggling players for peanuts through dubious means."
The well-known businessman went on to stress how important it is for Ghana to utilize its past football stars, particularly when it comes to negotiating favorable terms for player transfers outside.
