Kumasi Asante Kotoko suffered their third league defeat against Aduana Stars on Match Week Six action of the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) last Sunday.
Yahaya Mohammed stunned his former employers, dropping them to the foot of the Premier League table with the only goal ofthe match.
Here are three things we learnt.
Kotoko Don’t Learn:
Asante Kotoko this time last year were in a similar situation, forcing the Board to replace Mas ud Didi Dramani as coach.
He was sent on accumulated leave and was eventually replaced by David Duncan. He steered the team to finish second, but the Board failed to learn from the situation that caused their downfall last season.
Internal bickering, players tagged ‘enemies of a regime’ and Board and Management backbiting. The issues has eaten deep into the players and that was key in their defeat.
David Duncan is not Kotoko’s problem.
In the game of football, the crashing block fall on the head of the coach when results are not positive. David Duncan must accept responsibility because he chaired the team that released 14 players and recruited 12.
But the former is miles away from the source of the problem. The internal scheming to get him sacked began after the two all stalemate against Medeama SC and the team has always played to the voices of the powerful people in the club.
The boys played above themselves in last Sunday’s, but the spirit that hold a team to victory is sold.
Kotoko players are a disgrace to the profession.
Bad results are inevitable when off the the pitch issues takes center stage. Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been hit with bad media reports since the opening day loss to WAFA, but the players have failed to wake.
The playing body’s freedom is restricted under Coach David Duncan, but to let the coach down to satisfy your selfish desire is criminal in the game of football.
