A Board Member of Hearts of Oak, Alhaji Akanbi, has taken a swipe at some supporters of the club for accusing him of being the reason for the woes of the club.
The Ghana Premier League club has been struggling to win something meaningful for the past 11 years but had their problems compounded following the resignation of their entire technical team.
Assistant coach Asare Bediako was the first member to resign followed by head coach Kosta Papic and goalkeeper’s trainer Ben Owu on 15th February 2021.
Sabahn Quaye, a long-serving Team Manager, is reported to have been sacked by the club after exposing two of the board members at an emergency meeting.
In the wake of the club’s woes, supporters have accused Alhaji Akanbi of being the man behind the club’s recent struggles.
But in a press conference held on Wednesday to address the recent happenings in the club, Mr Akanbi questioned the supporters if they were more sensible than the majority shareholder of the club.
