“I cry anytime I see Hearts Of Oak bus” – Ernest Thompson

Former Hearts Of Oak board Secretary, Ernest Thompson has voiced out his worry about the sorry state of the team’s ‘death trap’ bus.

The Ghanaian giants have been criticized for using a bus in that state to travel to honour matches in the Ghana Premier League. Players have been captured on camera pushing the team bus before.

Thompson urges the majority shareholder of the club, Togbe Afede XIV to float some shares in order to reduce the financial burden on him.

”Everybody is waiting for Togbe to buy a bus for the team, if the club as a serious entity float shares, will get money and buy bus. Even Pobiman project, we need money to have it done and where is the money? 

“Hearts of Oak has a weak financial base and that is what stops the team from going for good players, which is bad,” he told Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.

“Anytime, I see Hearts of Oak bus I feel like crying because I was involved in purchasing that bus. Why should the club be using such a bus at this time? 

“Heart shouldn’t have been using this bus by now and training on poor pitches.”

The hierarchy of the Rainbow Club announced purchasing a 46-searer bus before the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League was suspended.

The club is expected to unveil the new bus which was acquired for the club by their insurance partners – StarLife Assurance.
