Ghanaian business mogul and leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, otherwise known as Cheddar, has recently hinted at his ambitious plan to acquire the prestigious English football club, Chelsea FC or Manchester United without public knowledge as a way of investing in sports.
Cheddar, who is aspiring to contest Ghana’s 2024 Presidential election as an independent candidate, asserted that it is his wish to buy either Chelsea FC or Manchester United to show the African can also be influential.
Sharing his thoughts on football in Ghana on Nhyira FM, Nana Kwame Bediako averred that beyond buying one of the big clubs in England, it is his wish to have a strong African Champions League just like what pertains in Europe.
“As I sit here I hope to raise money to buy Chelsea at the blind side of the public or buy Manchester United and show the white man that the Black man is also powerful. I would like to invest and have an African Champions League just like what pertains in Europe.
“Let’s build strong leagues in Africa so that we can sell our players outright to Europe instead of smuggling players through dubious means for peanuts,” he stressed.
The renowned businessman further emphasized on the need for Ghana to make good use of its former football heroes, especially in negotiating good deals in the transfer of players abroad.
According to the New Force leader, Ghana has failed in this direction, which looks strange to him. A few days ago I went to the late Papa Arko’s home, he’s one of my legends along with the likes of Opoku Nti who were the big stars in football when I was a young boy.
“We failed to ensure that these quality footballers gained legendary status because today these players I mentioned should have been big-time football agents and well-connected around the world. We are not serious as a country, that is why many of them end up broke after their playing time,” he noted.
