The Loop would like to inteprete the word revolution to help avoid any misinterpretations attached to the above headline:
A revolution is a fundamental and often rapid societal transformation that changes existing political, social,or economic structures.It simple means that the GFA, under the leadership of Kurt Okraku, perceived the upcoming GPL as a revolution process to change the game plan of Ghana premier division league for the betterment of all.

*Mesaage to GFA president:*
Mr.Presudent, The Loop is highly optimistic in your revolution agenda setting on GPL.I hope you are aware that premier league clubs usually benefit financially through central broadcasting and commercial revenues and increased commercial value and sponsorships beyond finance and eventually they gain global exposure, opportunities to develop and acquire talent, improved facilities, and support for their clubs?
Mr. Game Changer, it is imperative to remind you that GPL clubs stand to benefit from increased revenue from media and sponsorship deals, enabling significant investments in talent, facilities, and youth development. The GPL league’s financial strength must be driven by high attendance and sustainable management to help create numerous jobs.
The Loop is anticipating a formidable GPL revolution strategy that will afford clubs to benefit from the league’s collective marketing of audiovisual rights, which forms their primary revenue stream.
*The Loop’s message to GFA and stakeholders of GPL:*
The sanctity of unity of purpose lies in enhancing organizational success by aligning diverse individual efforts toward a common goal, which leads to faster decision-making, increased motivation, reduced conflict, and improved collaboration.
Greater resilience and endurance are required in the face of change,and by fostering a shared understanding of goals, unity of purpose allows for more effective allocation of resources and leverages the collective strengths of a team or organization, making objectives more achievable and the overall entity more successful.
