Hearts of Oak board member Vincent Sowah Odotei has made a startling claim, asserting that some of the wives of coaches who bastardise him are involved in managing players at the club.
Odotei, a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics, made this assertion while addressing recent allegations directed towards him and his colleague Alhaji Akambi regarding the club's troubles.
Responding to the accusations, Odotei vehemently denied any involvement in player recruitment during his tenure at Hearts of Oak. Instead, he diverted attention towards the coaches' wives, suggesting their active role in player management within the team.
The board member attributed these allegations to political motivations, implying that the accusations lacked substantive evidence and were fueled by ulterior motives.
Odotei emphasized the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the situation, urging critics to scrutinize their claims more closely.
“On record, I have never brought any player to Hearts of Oak. Some of the supporters who are vociferous have their brothers in Hearts of Oak.
“Some of the coaches have their wives managing players in Hearts of Oak but have the audacity to come on air and talk about Odotei and Akambi.
“What these people are doing is just politics because there’s no depth in what they are saying.”
Hearts of Oak recently faced a precarious situation as they narrowly escaped relegation from the Ghana Premier League.
Their fate was sealed on the final day of the season when they secured a crucial draw against Berekum Chelsea in a hard-fought encounter.
