Hearts Of Oak NCC spokesperson slams club’s Management Team; labels them as incompetent

Hearts Of Oak National Chapters Committee Spokesperson, Kobby Jones has taken a swipe at the club’s Management Team, describing them as ‘incompetent’ following the exit of star striker, Joseph Esso.

The supporter’s scribe who was incensed believes that the management team led by Mr Frederick Moore lacks understanding of the game hence their inability to resign the player.

It will be recalled that Esso along with four other players was released by the Phobians after both parties failed to extend their three-year contract which got expired. Hearts decided against the player’s wish of extending for only one year.

Reports emerged that the supporters succeeded in convincing the player to re-sign for the club in a two-year deal. But the player and the club failed to reach an agreement.

In a recent interview, the Hearts of Oak Managing Director, Frederick Moore accused Esso of peddling lies to the media with regard to how the negotiations hit a snag.

“I don’t want to talk about individual players but people are writing things that are not true. I hope and pray they didn’t get the facts from Joseph Esso, if so then it means they lied”, he told Happy FM.

However, speaking to Fox FM Kobby Jones called for the ‘head’ of the management team because they are incompetent.

“Personally Joseph Esso can not be blamed for his exit from the club, neither can we blame the board chairman on this issue, rather we must blame the management.

“It was never the wish of the player to go for his release letter at our secretariat since there was an upcoming meeting between the player and management, he had a call from the MD to that effect.

“Hearts of Oak must get a sporting director to take care of player transfers for us and allow Frederick Moore to concentrate on the business aspect,” he concluded.

Esso scored 3 goals in 14 games in the now truncated 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season.
