Former Okwahu United head coach, Nana Agyemang says Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is one of the "biggest issues" responsible for the woes of Asante Kotoko.
The Porcupines Warriors are enduring a torrid time in the ongoing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
The Reds have won one of the last eight games in the second round of the season and have failed to leave a mark on the continental stage.
Prosper Narteh Ogum’s side sit 10th on the league table with 36 points, only five above the relegation zone.
“When you look at Manchester United, a very big club, I don't know the patron. The patrons of those clubs don't feature and figure in the same way that Otumfuo does,” Nana Agyemang, who is also a former Sekondi Hassacas head coach told JoySports.
“We are supposed to be having some competent people sitting around a table being the board managing this club and we can never ever get to that stage.
“The King is one big issue for me, then the management members that he selects is another problem, how they are selected represent another problem because huge lobbying goes on.”
Following the dissolution of the Board of Directors and the then Nana Yaw Amponsah's led management, Otumfuo set up an Interim Management Committee (IMC), which includes Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua, Akwasi Appiah, Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, and Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi to run the club.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko will return to action this weekend when they travel to play defending champions, Medeama SC in the Matchday 28 games at Akoon Park.
