Liberty Professionals coach George Lamptey exasperated by Ghana Premier League delay
Liberty Professionals coach George Lamptey is
foaming at the mouth because of the delay in the
start of the Ghana Premier League.

There uncertainty over the commencement of the
2014/2015 campaign due to a court case between a
relegated club King Faisal and the Ghana Football
Association.

The matter was adjourned to next week after a
hearing on Monday and that means the First Capital
Plus Premier League can only start when the ruling
is announced and both sides satisfied.

Liberty are among the many clubs who have been
forced to extend their pre-season programmes
because of the impending issue.

The league was scheduled to start on 21 September
and the delay has infuriated Lamptey.

“We all say, you see people on TV saying that
Ghana is a soccer loving nation, what is this? Is
this a soccer loving nation? We need to come out
and say the truth, let’s put the truth where it
is so we can start the league,” Lamptey told Joy
Sports.

“We should do something, this time before you
survive you have to pretend and lie and that is
what everybody is doing and if you decide to say
the truth you will have problems, Let us wake up
and do something for we have proved to the world
that we have it so let us not bring it down.

“This delay in starting the league is giving us
big problems, you go on pre-season and the league
delays, we have to find ways of maintaining
players before the league starts, we keep paying
them and so many things going wrong for us.

“We beg those in charge and those who can help
arrange this to come together, this is our country
we can’t always pretend and lie.”
