A board member of Kumasi-based Asante Kotoko, Joseph Yaw Adu has allayed supporters’ fears that the club’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be removed as part of a board plot.
Rumours are rife in some sections of the media that some board members are dissatisfied with the performance of the club’s management which has affected the team’s poor run of form.
As a result, the CEO of the club, Nana Yaw Amponsah has come under intense pressure following the sacking of Burkinabe coach, Seydou Zerbo without the knowledge of the board who left the club 7th on the league log after 22 matches in the Ghana Premier League.
However, Mr Yaw Adu has disclosed in an interview that at no time has the board plotted against the former Ghana Football Association Presidential candidate.
“We can’t sit idle if things are not moving as expected. Management is in charge of both resources and technical matters, and coaches report to management and not the board. So, Nana Yaw Amponsah being the head of management should explain things to us.
“There is speculation that the board has an agenda against the CEO but that is a fallacy,” he said.
Meanwhile, Nana Yaw Amponsah’s three-year mandate comes to an end at the end of the season and he is expected to run on the ticket of the Porcupine Warriors to become an Executive committee member of the Football Association.
