The Commercial Affairs Manager for Accra Hearts of Oak, Kwaku Sakyi Quashie, says the club has not been able to secure more sponsorship deals because of people he described as vampires.
This comes after the indefinite suspension of Hearts of Oak’s head coach, Frank Elliot Nuttall.
The Phobian boss has been suspended by the club’s top hierarchy until further notice after club officials say they had found him to have engaged in an “unsporting and unethical behavior”.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s valentine edition of the Ultimate Sports Show, Mr Sakyi opined that, “We have not been able to brand the club well for sponsorship because there are vampires sucking blood”.
After the club released a statement which stated that the Scott was suspended on the basis of unprofessional and unethical behavior, there have been several reports also alleging that the tactician was behind the illegal exit of some players from the club.
A three member investigative team has been set up to investigate the issue and a report is expected to be presented by Friday.
In the meantime, Assistant Coach Henry Lamptey Wellington, has been asked to take charge of the team’s training sessions until further notice.
