The Board of Directors of Asante Kotoko have clashed with the management over decision to axe eight players ahead of the new football season.
According to reports, four players will be shipped out on loan while the contract of the other four will be terminated.
Key among the eight players is vice-captain of the club, Emmanuel Gyamfi.
Gyamfi has most often flattered to deceive in Kotoko colours but had his best spell for Kotoko last term scoring five goals in 35 matches while providing just one assist in the just-ended season.
The decision why the management wants Gymafi out is leading the rest of the players to demonstrate against the management during the Caf Confederations Cup trip to Sudan last campaign.
But reports from deep throat sources say majority of the club’s board of directors are not in agreement with the decision to cut loose eight players as the club may not get the value of the players or they may have to pay them off before terminating their contracts.
Habib Mohammed is also on the chopping block although his Kotoko contract will not expire until next year.
There is no place for midfielders Kwame Adom Frimpong, Godfred Asiamah and Latif Anabila who have all failed to glitter in a Kotoko jersey as they will be put up for sale.
Youngsters Osman Ibrahim and Emmanuel Sarkodie will be handed a second chance but that will be at their loan clubs as they have struggled to nail down a place at Kotoko.
Emmanuel Sarkodie has struggled to live up to expectation since joining Kotoko from Nkoranza Warriors some years ago.
They have already signed eight players which includes Clinton Opoku, Richmond Lamptey, Maxwell Agyemang, Samuel Boateng, Isaac Oppong, Richard Boadu, Augustine Agyapong and Samuel Appiah.
The new football season has been scheduled to kick off on October 29.
