‘Hearts of Oak should have been relegated for our leaders to learn sense’ – Dan Quaye insists

Legendary Hearts of Oak figure, Dan Quaye, believes that if the club had been relegated last season, it would have forced the administrators to make necessary improvements.

Quaye points out that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed at Hearts, and the current state of the club will persist unless significant changes occur.

During the previous season, Hearts of Oak struggled, finishing at the bottom of the league table and narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day, ultimately ending up in 12th place.

Supporters of the club have voiced their dissatisfaction with the situation, hoping for a brighter future. However, Quaye firmly believes that substantial transformations will only come about if a major event, like relegation, forces the club’s leadership to take necessary actions.

“I’d have been happy if Hearts had gone on relegation to Division One last season. That would have sent a lesson for our leaders to learn sense “, Quaye told Accra-based Happy FM.

Quaye also expressed his desire for Hearts to hire Coach Annor Walker, who recently joined rival team Great Olympics. According to Quaye, coaches like Walker, who possess qualities reminiscent of the celebrated Jones Attuquayfio, garner respect from players and have the ability to guide clubs to success.

Dan Quaye joined Hearts of Oak in 1999, transferring from Accra Great Olympics, and left the club a decade later after winning numerous titles. His achievements include six Ghana Premier League titles, the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup in 2000 and 2004 respectively, the Super Cup in 2001, and two Ghana FA Cups with the Phobians.
