He Should Go – Stauch Kotoko Supporter Bares Teeth At Runaway Prosper Ogum
Gleaning from sources I can trust, the narratives out there isn’t as it seem. Dr. Ogum wants certain degree of autonomy/final say over decisions not even the most advanced clubs would yield to their Managers.
His somewhat inherent personality trait makes him want to almost always have ‘his way’ regardless of what superior argument is laid before him. No club would countenance that.
We all scream PROFESSIONALISM but let’s not kid ourselves – It’s in no Ghanaian club’s interest to hand complete responsibility over ‘who goes and who comes’ to a coach unless you don’t really care about whether the club keeps alive or dies.
Ignore the propaganda about wages/salaries etc as cause for the rift. IT IS NOT! But we do expect such side stories when issues like this arise.
He doesn’t think he can work with the management/board who maintain their positions on certain issues. Fine.
His decision is neither a good one or bad as far as I’m concerned and I implore fans to lay down their emotions and allow the managers of the club to make decisions that best fit the club.
For once, get behind the institution, Kotoko. Let’s not always jump behind individual characters we almost immediately assign the ‘victim tag’.
If he did great at Kotoko like we all think he did, it is because he worked in an environment set by others (Management/Board).
Food for thought: How many of the club’s best players in the just ended season do you think were recruited on the advice of Coach Ogum and how many landed the red shirts because Mgt, through other scouting mediums, took a chance with them?
No qualms! HE SHOULD GO!

Asante Kotoko to travel on a European training tour in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy ahead of the 2024/25 season
Asante Kotoko has announced ambitious plans for a training tour of Europe beginning on July 15, 2024, in preparation for the 2024/25 season.
During the club’s training tour in Italy, the Porcupines will work with famed Italian sides Genoa and Atalanta to fine-tune their abilities and plans.
Following the Italian leg, Asante Kotoko will take their training journey to Germany and Switzerland, presenting the squad with a variety of challenges and exposures as they prepare for the forthcoming season. The extensive training programme is intended to improve team performance and create team togetherness.
The official announcement of this exciting initiative was held on Friday, December 8, 2023, at the Lancaster Hotel in Kumasi, showcasing the club’s dedication to quality and worldwide competitiveness.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko faces an early challenge as they prepare for the season’s first Super Clash against arch-rivals Hearts of Oak. On Sunday, the highly anticipated match will take place at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Bibiani Gold Stars of the Ghana Premier League have announced the hiring of Frimpong Manso as their new head coach.
The Asante Kotoko legend succeeds Michael Osei, who was given the door following a bad run of performances in the current 2023/24 season.
The Miners confirmed Manso’s employment via a social media post for the remainder of the season, with an option to extend.
Following the club’s dismal start to the season, the seasoned manager will attempt to turn things around.
After 13 games in the Ghana Premier League this season, the team has 12 points, putting them in the relegation zone.
Frimpong Manso’s first matchday 13 game is this weekend against FC Samartex 1996.
Manso recently parted ways with newly promoted team Bofoakwa Tano, after joining them at the start of the season.
Following an exciting start to the 2023-24 season, the former Ghana international defender was named coach of the month for September.
Hearts of Oak board members have spoken out over Martin Koopman’s appointment.
The Dutch manager was named head coach of the Ghana Premier League team before the start of the current 2023/24 season.
However, following a rocky start, the club severed ways with the 67-year-old after only four months in command.
Koopman won two games and scored six goals in ten Ghana Premier League appearances.
Fans have criticised the club’s leadership, with some asking for their dismissal.
However, Dr Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe, Alhaji Akanbi, and Vincent Sowah-Odotei explained why Koopman was selected at a news conference on Monday.
“We went in for Martin Koopman because we were looking for a coach with maturity and a coach with experience. He came up on top of the list of coaches before he was hired” they said.
Hearts of Oak lost 1-0 against Aduana FC in the Ghana Premier League on matchday 12 after being eliminated from the MTN FA Cup.
The Phobians will want to get back on track when they meet Asante Kotoko in the matchday 13 games on Sunday, December 10.
