Kotoku Royals CEO Linford Asamoah Boadu's comments about poor officiating being the cause of the club's relegation from the Ghana Premier League have sparked discussion among football fans.
Boadu's assertion has raised questions about the role of referees in determining the outcome of matches and the impact of their decisions on team performance and league standings.
He also added that the club has learned a lot from their brief time in the top flight.
"I think I have learnt a lot of lessons, I mean it is a different terrain, the premier league is a different terrain," he told Citi Sports
"As a debutant, unlike other clubs, they know how to operate in the Ghana premier league,"
"I have been to several venues and I have been to some interesting places, officiating has not been the best, I know there are some officiating decisions against our club which did not help our season,"
"We did the right thing, by writing to the GFA for the right thing to be done with regards to the poor officiating on the part of match officials,"
"I believe that most of the referees we lodge complaints about have been sanctioned, but is not out there in the public domain,"
After 30 games in the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League Kotoku Royals picked up 23 points.
