Eleven Wonders coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu has said it may be better to abrogate the 2019/20 Ghana football season and start afresh if coronavirus-induced suspension persists beyond one month.
The Ghana Premier League among other competitions has been suspended for four weeks as part of measures by authorities to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus in the country.
The pandemic, also known as Covid-19, has so far infected over 510,644 worldwide and claimed 23,028 lives. In Ghana, 136 positive cases have been recorded with four deaths.
"I'm a fan of a proper calendar. If we're going to have a prolonged suspension, it may be better to abrogate the current season and start afresh to synchronise with all the other leagues in the world to allow proper transitions and transfers," Osei-Fosu told Goal on Thursday.
"We should not rush the league back because human lives are much more important than our work which is entertainment. Calling off the league will also be a blessing in disguise for me to get a grip on my team. Even if the league is to resume in two weeks time, it's unlikely we can play games immediately because it will take us another two weeks to prepare to play games.
"At where we are now, it will be very difficult to just regroup and head straight into games. We may even go another month before the suspension is lifted and the more the players stay in the house, the more training we will need to get the players' physical level back up for matches because you don't want to risk players for injury. They have their careers on the line. We may be getting to a point where we will need another pre-season. Or else we will have a form of pre-season, play about 17 games and go for another pre-season for the next full season.
"I think what the GFA should do now is to come up with a clear guideline in anticipation of what could happen in each case's scenario, so clubs will be clear on how to deal with the situation in advance. But for me, I'm for the abrogation of the league if the suspension extends beyond one month."
