Accra, April 17, GNA – Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club has said the club is not a platform for relaunching careers of players who left under bizarre circumstances.
This follows a feud between former player Charles Taylor and Dr. Nhayo Nhayo-Tamakloe, a Board Member of the club, who is reported to have said that the club would not be a career relaunching platform for old players.
Taylor is reported to made unpleasant comments about the former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) describing him as « archaic and inimical to the club’s growth ».
A club statement released on Friday said that Dr. Tamakloe comments « is the board’s well-considered decision » not to welcome back to the club, players who left under circumstances similar to Taylor departure some years ago.
« It is unfortunate to have heard another old player of the club, Dan Quaye make similar remarks against Nyaho Tamakloe.
« In fact, we expected these players to have known better and therefore appeal to all who have the club at heart to report their grievances through the appropriate channel.
« We want to exercise further that should Hearts decide to take back any of our former players it would be based on thorough assessment and under terms that are mutually beneficial.
« It is about time young local footballers are given the opportunity to shine but players should never forget the sacrifices club owners make in the provision of platforms for their developments, » the statement said.
The further statement advised former players and administrators from making unguarded statement about the club as it doesn’t serve the interest of the club.
