The Chief Executive Officer of Hearts of Oak, Mark Noonan has responded to allegations leveled against the management levelled club by Cosmos Dauda.
The former Mighty Jets forward who left the club to join Jordanian top-flight side Al Faisaly in the summer, in a recent interview with Kumasi based Oyerepa FM took a dig at the management of his former club for exploiting the playing body to enrich their purse.
He also questioned the club's decision and motive to engage sworn rivals Asante Kotoko in a friendly match.
"What is the cause? They gather 22 players 11 at Hearts, 11 Kotoko just to enrich themselves at the expense of the players who are trying to make better careers for themselves.
"Yes they are just using us, that match played how much did the players get, the highest you will get is insults because Hearts lost"
"Useless players, very lazy we need a coach, we need this we need that. You bring Jose Mourinho to Hearts of Oak give him 2 weeks they will sack him."
"Players give to the system but the system doesn't give back to the playing body. How can we continue like this, it pains me a lot.”
"They waste our time and use us to make money. How much did they get at the gate, at least the players should get money since they haven't paid salaries to the players, these same big men won't pay the salary of players.”
In reaction to Dauda's assertion, Noonan has jumped to the club's defense and labelled him a 'liar';
Normally I don't do this but when our club is attacked by blatant lies I will not stand by idly. Hey @CosmosDauda14 Since I became CEO, Hearts has made EVERY payroll. Get your facts straight. You certainly had no issue cashing those checks before we released you, right? #AHOSC
