‘Both Hearts and Kotoko don’t have quality players to attract fans to stadium’ – Dr Nyaho Tamakloe

According to Dr Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko are unable to attract a significant number of fans to the stadia due to the low quality of players in the ongoing 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

He cited the recent President Cup game between the two clubs as an example where even though admission was free, fans failed to turn up.

Dr Tamakloe, a board member of Hearts of Oak, expressed concern that the current generation of players lack the class and skill of players like Baba Yara, Mfum, and Asamoah Gyan, who were able to draw crowds to the stadium.

He further stated that neither Hearts of Oak nor Kotoko can boast of having quality players at present.

“The sort of footballers we have now are not classy. This worries a lot of spectators. If you look at the match we played the last time between Hearts of Oak and Kotoko, it was a big match but you saw what happened at the stadium even when the gates were opened freely. People failed to turn up,” the Hearts of Oak board member told Asempa FM.

He added that the players of Hearts of Oak and Kotoko lack the quality to bring spectators to the stadium.

“The present generation of players shouldn’t think they know it all. None of them can come to the standard of people like Baba Yara or Mfum or even Asamoah Gyan.

“As of now, being frank with you neither Hearts of Oak or Kotoko can boast of quality players,” he added.
