If we have the chance to fix it, this is the time, he said.Ghanaians are calling for change, and we must respond positively as a football family. Hopefully, the Premier League will resume soon, but when it does, we must ensure the changes our stakeholders demand are implemented.We play a crucial role in managing our sport.
