According to reports, Premier League side Hearts of Oak are demanding US$ 56,000 from sacked coach Frank Nuttall as 'illegal'' amount of money pocketed from the transfer of some of their players.
This emerges after the former Zamalek trainer was found guilty of transfer some Hearts players without the knowledge of the club after the findings of the three-man committee.
A leaked report of the three-member committee set up to investigate the unethical behaviour of the coach, it revealed that Scottish was paid US$ 50,000 and US$ 6,000 respectively from the transfer of two unnamed players.
According to a Graphic Sports publication, the committee's findings linked the coach to the Scottish firm NM Football Consultancy, as collaborators for the transfer of players of Hearts.
Nuttall is said to have told the three-man committee: ''It's a difference of understanding pertaining to the job. It is an error of judgement on my part for not informing the board and the administration [for which] I apologise to the committee and I plead that it should not cost me my job.''
