Board member of Hearts of Oak Vincent Sowah Odotei believes that Togbe Afede XIV has changed the fortunes of the club and fans need to appreciate the work he has done.
The Phobians have been in the news for various reasons after exiting the 2022 CAF Confederation Cup qualifiers on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Hearts needed to overturn a three goal deficit from the first leg in Mali but struggled to find the back of the net, until the 89th when Caleb Amankwah scored the game’s only goal.
Supporters are not happy with the recent happenings at the club and have called for the sacked of some board members who they believe are the cause of the club's woes.
“You can ask the FA, the facts don’t lie. They can have their own opinion, they can’t have their own facts. We are the most successful club in the last two years since Togbe Afede became Executive Chairman. For the first time in the history of Hearts of Oak, we train on our own pitch, we do not move around renting pitches." Odotei told JoySports.
“We are starting to roll out the most expensive artificial turf. We have four pitches [and] it’s not just an academy, it’s a sports facility with mini golf, lawn tennis, basketball and volleyball. Once that is done, there’s a plan to build a 100-room 3-star hotel. I disagree with them, the club is progressing, the club has progressed."
