"So from Nsoatreman's perspective as the general manager I can tell you that I think the Africa that we are preparing for we have little time we wont get time to chase this money we are moving forward with our program but if our brothers (Bofoakwa Tano) say they wont let it go and will chase the FA to get their money I think it is their right to take that step but if you ask me from Nsoatreman perspective I think they things in front of us are a lot if we add this to our program it won't help us because there is no time,"
