The Spiritual head and owner of Kumasi Asante Kotoko football club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is meeting the entire management and technical team as the well as playing body of the club at 10a.m. today.
The meeting, which is to take place at the Manhyia palace, is expected to address the dwindling fortunes of the club.
Issues such as the alleged conflict among the management team, making it impossible for them to collaborate to enhance effective and efficient management of the club, have generated public discussions lately.
A statement signed by the Media Relations Manager of the Manhyia Palace, Mr G.B. Osei-Antwi, pointed out that the Asantehene would address “ some burning issues in the club”.
Speculations are rife in Kumasi that Otumfuo Osei Tutu is, not going to spare the rod and could castigate the management for pursuing their individual interests and creating a gulf that had undermined the promotion of the most popular club in the country
Kumasi Asante Kotoko, who are the defending champions of the Premier league, have now become a punching bag, suffering humiliating defeats, not only in away matches, but at their favourite Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, as well.
Apart from arch rivals Accra Hearts of Oak who defeated Kotoko 2-1 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, teams like Swedru All Blacks and Sekondi Eleven Wise have also conquered the Porcupine Warriors at Baba Yara Stadium in the presence of their vociferous supporters.
Since the second round started, Kotoko have gained only one point out of the maximum nine, and this had created much anxiety among the supporters who are finding it difficult to come to terms with the misfortunes affecting the club.
The 3-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Brekum Arsenals last Wednesday seems to have worsened the anxiety of the numerous Kotoko fans who are now sitting on thorns as they welcome Kpando Heart of Lions to Kumasi tomorrow.
Speculations are that Kotoko supporters could turn up in their numbers at the Manhyia Palace when the Asantehene meets the management and technical team, as well as the playing body, to plead for the replacement of the management team.
