Is Kotoko Ready For A Long Season?

It’s been five weeks into the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League season, but the wounds at Kotoko are older than we think.

The Porcupine Warriors have won only one game in their five league matches season — their worst run in 42 years, and the fans are angry at the situation.

A section of the Kotoko fraternity wants head coach David Duncan sacked, whilst others have called for the sacking of Opoku Nti and his administration.

The season is young for Kotoko not to achieve their dreams, but the target is far from reach, as board and management members have become mice and cats.

The politics within the club is sky high and the level of internal scheming to have certain individuals fail at their duties will crumble the team more. There’s a growing distrust between technical team and players.

Some senior members of the playing body have lost respect for management and vice versa.

It is alleged that some of the players are branded enemies of the current administration, whilst others are tagged hunch back of schemers who wants Opoku Nti replaced.

Management of the club were given GHS 15,000.00 for the team’s first two games of the season, but the money was allegedly misused and can’t be accounted for.

About eight (8) players are unhappy with the way the team is divided and that there’s lack of confidence. The scheme to sack David Duncan is on high too, though the decision makers insist he will not replaced.

Will players drawn into accusations and counter-accusations between management and board, technical team and management, Kotoko’s early season fears could grow deeper than initially feared.

From all indications, the internal troubles seem to be far from over and might continue if steps are not taken to reverse the negative trend.

Without this, then the club must be prepared to undergo a long and unpleasant season.
