Bankroller of King Faisal Football Club, Alhaji Karim Grunsah, has described Black Stars� Goal Keeper, Richard Kingson, as a disrespectful and ungrateful person. His criticism comes on the heels of Kingson�s call up into the Black Stars� 25-man squad ahead of the world Cup playoffs against Egypt on October 15. Although he strongly defends Kingson�s call up, despite the deluge of criticisms from sports fans, Grunsah, nonetheless says he has a personal problem with �Olele�, as Richard Kingson is popularly called. He told Moro Awudu on the XYZ Breakfast Show on Thursday that Olele has failed to show appreciation to him, despite securing a contract for the agile Goalkeeper and two other national players, in the past, for a move to Turkish club Galatasaray. According to him, �I secured a contract for Richard Kingson and Stephen Appiah to Galatasaray and can you believe he ignores me anytime he sees me?� �I know his father and the family very well and I did not expect him to do that but I still pray for him even though I am disappointed with him�, Grunsah bemoaned. Kingson makes a return to the Black Stars after a two-year absence. Critics, including former Ghana Football Association President, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, are strongly against his inclusion in the 25-man team. Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe told Nana Kwaku Agyemang on Sports Chat on Radio XYZ on Wednesday that Kingson is too old and has lost his reflexes.
