Ghana Premier League giants, Accra Hearts of Oak have responded to allegations leveled against them and some club officials by their former welfare and fitness manager, W.O. Tandoh.
Tandoh, in an interview with Accra-based Happy FM, descended heavily on the club with curses and also used unpalatable words towards some of the leaders of the club.
According to the Aduana Stars assistant coach, the Ghanaian giants owe him six months’ salary, blaming Alhaji Akambi and Vincent Odotei Sowah for his resignation and describing them as liars.
Hearts of Oak indicated that Tandoh’s comments about the club were unfortunate, unacceptable, and very unprofessional.
A club statement said, “It came as shocking news to all true meaning Phobians when our former welfare and fitness trainer W. O 1 Paul Tandoh, now an assistant coach at Aduana Stars took to the radio to descend on the club with his curses and used unpalatable words at some of our leaders.
“As a club, we find his comments as rather unfortunate and unacceptable and very unprofessional because we believe at this point in his professional career he should know better and be as disciplined as a real soldier will always be.
“For W. O Tandoh to have the guts to describe some of our club officials with all manner of adjectives, we see this as unacceptable and therefore urge all of our followers to disregard him and fully throw your support behind the team as we continue to move into a positive direction to bring the needed changes to the club as we yearn to attain preeminence.
“Our destiny can NEVER be in the hands of W. O Tandoh for him to say Hearts will lose our next five matches. If indeed he has any such authority to decide the fortunes of men, we urge him to deploy that to help his team win every game in every competition. At Hearts, what we believe in is that we strive to win our games since we believe matches are won based on good preparation and good performance and not through any other means.
“At Hearts of Oak we respect our leaders and we expect he, W. O Tandoh to do the same because these same leaders gave him the platform to enhance his career and therefore do not deserve those unwarranted comments from a man with a military background where discipline is core in all of their activities.
“We urge him to needfully retract his comments.”
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak have parted ways with the head coach of the side, Samuel Boadu after a poor start to the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.
