EXCLUSIVE: Hearts of Oak hold ‘crisis meeting’ following shambolic start to season


Hearts of Oak board members have scheduled an emergency crisis meeting today following the club’s disappointing start to the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League, FootballMadeInGhana can exclusively report.
The Phobians are caught up in an early season relegation dog fight after back to back defeats in their opening two games.
Hearts suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to Berekum Chelsea in their season opener before a lacklustre performance in Tarkwa saw them humiliated 3-0 by Medeama on Sunday.
It has been a truly underwhelming start to the new campaign in every sense, two games, two defeats, no goal scored, 4 goals conceded and bound to occupy the bottom of the league at least until match day three.
It is in light of the team’s failure in recent weeks that board chairman Togbe Afede has called an emergency meeting to discuss what has been going wrong at the club.
Footballmadeinghana.com gathered through the grapevine that as part of the agenda for the meeting, the board will discuss some pending transfer business.
A source close to the club disclosed that the Accra-based giants have identified 4 targets to bolster their midfield and attack before the current window closes.
The source also confirmed that Hearts of Oak are set to announce the capture of midfielder Frederick Ansah Botchway and are weighing up the possibility of signing Former Kotoko hitman Ahmed Toure.
The Burkinabe striker is currently a free agent after his contract with A.S vita of Congo ended a fortnight ago.

CK Akonnor wins dismissal case against Kotoko, Ghanaian giants ordered to pay compensation

Asante Kotoko are expected to CK Akonnor a hefty compensation after the former coach won his case for wrongful dismissal against the club on Monday. The Player Status Committee has ruled the Porcupine Warriors breached the terms of his contract. The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling. Akonnor rejected an offer to head the club’s technical directorate and left his post under bitter circumstances.

On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe. According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution. The Kumasi-based side were slapped with a five home-game ban which got reduced to three due to crowd misconduct during their 1-0 defeat against Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on matchday 3. A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, the supporters wing of the Red lad...
