Former GHALCA chairman J.Y Appiah has slapped bank-roller of King Faisal Alhaji Karim Grunsah with a lawsuit demanding a staggering $500,000 in compensation for defamation of character.

The writ of summons was handed to the loose talking football administrator by bailiffs at yesterday's GFA extra ordinary Congress.

Apparently Grunsah had an interview on Asempa FM where he accused the former GHALCA boss J. Y. Appiah of mismanagement and involvement in football related corruption.

It is the second Appiah has gone to court over an interview damaging his reputation after winning a massive $200,000 court judgement against the radio station Fox FM over false accusations nearly a decade ago. Appiah jealously guards his reputation and the recent interview on Asempa FM has sparked him into action once again.

In the said interview Grusah who is synonymous with controversy accused the former Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) of mismanagement labeling Appiah as a ‘foolish man’ who is always after individual selfish interest. “J.Y Appiah is a foolish man, ask him why he was sacked from Cocoa-board,” Alhaji said.

J.Y Appiah told the court that Grunsah's 'false claims have damaged his reputation to his family and business associates' and he is seeking 2.5 million cedis in compensation, public apology and retraction. Grunsah attacked Appiah pointing to the divisions among the members of the Association and the neglect of club administrators perceived to be against the leadership as a clear sign of his inability to manage GHALCA.
