GHALCA boss Kudjoe Fianoo worried by Asante Kotoko's possible demotion to second tier

Published on: 14 April 2020

Ghana League Clubs Association (Ghalca) chairman Kudjoe Fianoo has expressed his concern about the possible demotion of Asante Kotoko to second-tier.

FIFA has ordered the Porcupine Warriors to make full payment of a $180,000 fee to Tunisian giants Esperance regarding Emmanuel Clottey’s transfer.

According to reports in the local media, Kotoko have until May 10 to settle a total amount of $240,000 (€218,915) which also includes a fine.

Failure to pay up the money will see the Kumai based side demoted to the second tier of Ghana Football.

"As Ghalca chairman, we are worried about the crisis that has entangled Kotoko, but it’s rather unfortunate we don’t have the strength to help, with the Ghana Football Association also not well-positioned [to help]," Fianoo told Light FM.

"We simply cannot sit idle for Ghana’s gigantic club to be relegated.

“They [Kotoko's management] should reach out to their numerous supporters around the world, forget any pain cause by one other, swallow their pride, bury their differences and come together in resolving this issue."

He added, "This will serve as a good lesson for the club [Kotoko] because they have been paying a lot of judgement debt recently."

"I believe Kotoko supporters have that capacity of helping extremely."
