Fatawu Mohammed is ungrateful; Hearts pay him GHS9,600 monthly – Vincent Sowah Odotei

Board member of Hearts Of Oak, Honourable Vincent Sowah Odotei, has explicitly stated that Fatawu Mohammed is paid a significant salary.

Mohammed, who has been told to find a new club on Monday, claimed his salary at Hearts is just a peanut and that it is just a hand-to-mouth salary. 

However, Sowah Odotei is surprised because Fatawu Mohammed is paid GHS 9,600 gross monthly. 

Thus, he questions why the former captain would go about making such accusations against the Ghanaian giants.

“Do you know how much Fatawu gets paid a month? GHS9,600! That is his gross salary,” the board member told Class Sports.

Odotei has left Fatawu to his conscience saying: “If a player is earning this kind of money and he comes on air and says he regrets playing for Hearts of Oak, Hearts of Oak is a rubbish club, people should not regard and all, that’s okay, fine.”

He also emphasized that despite the club’s lack of interest in what any player publicly says, it was necessary to clarify the matter in light of Fatawu’s harsh evaluation.

“People will put money and invest their time… We are not interested in this kind of banter, player comes and talks, no, we are not interested in that.”

“I am not being disrespectful to you or arrogant but we are human beings, it gets to a point where we have to say things,” he added.

Speaking further on Fatawu’s claim of not getting anything from Hearts as a reward for his 10-year service to the club, Odotei claimed that the former captain acquired the things he possesses now because of Hearts of Oak.

He maintained his stance on the fact that the club has nothing to say in reaction to Fatawu’s comments.

“See Fatawu, boasting all over that even though he has not been abroad before, he’s bought five pieces of land and he’s built a house or two houses – it’s all because of Hearts of Oak. If he comes back and says Hearts of Oak is a rubbish club, Barnieh should not register and all that, that’s okay. That’s fine,” Odotei bemoaned.

“We have nothing to say. If his gross salary is GHS9,600 to 9,800, and he still rubbishes the club, that’s fine, that’s fine.

“I hope you get the confidence to tell people how much he earns,” Vincent Sowah Odotei concluded.

Hearts of Oak are officially yet to announce the departure of the former skipper Fatawu Mohammed as the betPawa Premier League bounced back on Monday, December 19, 2022, following the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Fatawu Mohammed has in the past won the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League, the MTN FA Cup twice in 2020/21, 21-22, the President’s Cup and the Super Cup.
