A meeting called by the club’s owner Otumfuo Osei Tutu ended in the sack for the Sylvester Asare Owusu management team but KickOffGhana.com understands there will be far more ramifications from the meeting afterwards. A six man team has been put in place to run the club but it has been coldly received by many Kotoko followers who say the team does not look good enough to rescue the club from its current poor situation. But that new team have only been given a mandate until the end of the season when the club’s owner say it will employ the service of a consultant to help pick a new chief executive for the club. Despite being generally considered Ghana’s biggest club, Kotoko has been dragged back for years by poor management and the regular insistence on its owners that the club be ran by die hard fanatics rather than experts. The latest to go down that road Sylvester Asare Owusu endured a torrid time at the meeting in Mahyia last Saturday with the other members of his management blaming his poor leadership for the club’s present mess. His handling of sales in Kumasi of the club’s official newspaper the Kotoko Express was also questioned with all those details likely to form part of a scope that auditors will look into when the scrutinise the accounts of the lucrative newspaper and the club itself.
