Former Hearts of Oak chairman Harry Zakour has accused Togbe Afede XIV of running a one-man show at the club.
The Chief of the Asogli State in the Volta Region and a renowned businessman took over the club earlier this year after buying majority club shares during it’s sale.
Togbe Afede also masterminded the sponsorship of the club by his investment firm, Strategic African Securities (SAS).
He also provided a substantial chunk of money for the side’s recruitment of players during the off-season.
But Zakour, who presided over Hearts’ most glorious days in the late 90’s and the early 2000’s believes the current chairman is not running the club in the right way.
“I want to advice my brother Afede to stand firm and bring in people like Alhaji Hearts (Suleman Braimah), Nii Ayi Bonte and Ernest Thompson,” he told Joy FM.
“Money is not everything. You can have all the money but if you don’t bring on board the right people you will fail.
“Football is football and not administration, he should stop taking advice from the wrong people.
“Football is run by football people and therefore you need these people on board.”

u hit the nail right on the head Harry. u can have all the money and business/financial expertise but u’ll fail in football. i miss ur days Harry.
Togbe please don’t listen to these thieves who run this club down with shear greed and incompetence over the so many years that they have been in position. After 2000, for so many years that they have been in position what have they added in terms of building the club, as it is being done now? The problems that club is facing now is the result of years of incompetence and greed by Zakour and his criminal henchmen that he is mentioning. Watch them their modus operandi is to sabotage the club any time they are not in position and then use the problems that result from the sabotage to mobilize some unscrupulous elements among the supporters group with money to create popular hatred for leadership no matter how good the leadership is. A lot of them don’t have anything – they feed on the club and they would do anything to climb back to position. Watch these criminals, watch them please!
Hmmm, I’m short of words but I believe the Togbe is doing the right things absolutely. @ Notoro i like your comments. U r deep.
You’ve said it all Notoro, in fact you took all the words outta ma mouth bro.
I pity CK Akunnor. He was clearly sabotaged! He got everything right until those who felt he was going to get them out of their jobs and positions forever caused his fate. There are some people in hearts who are disillusioned to the core and they dont care a hoot by destroying the team to achieve their aims. All players who dont function well or allow themselves to be used for the politics in the team ,if found out,should be suspended or booted out of the team to make way for those who want to be professional . For all those who think Hearts should be run on their ideas and not their monies, give way too. Hearts, is too big for selfish people. Olympics is still suffering because of the politics behind it and in it. Hearts will overcome and the saboteurs will live to see it.
oh harry zakour, where were u when we need people to buy share to improve the management of the team, huh? now you’re spouting nonsense. i don’t like talking like this but sometimes you just need to let it rip hard. fuck you harry.
Harry should shut up,he says we owe him and wat again does he want from us
Thank you Notoro for your candid piece. The problem with Hearts is Alhaji Hearts, Thompson and co. After presiding over affairs during the glorious days what did they do with the Champions league money and the compensation FIFA psid hearts form the failed world club championship. They chop the money waa waa waa and today they are complaining. What did they do with the shares money. They behave as if Hearts is their personal petty business. They must be watched now that they feel they are not in charge. Please educate the players to know who butters their bread so that they will not be deceived by Thomson and co to sabotage the club. They must keep off and let others correct the mess they have created. How come Hearts of all teams cannot get sponsorship in today’s Ghana. we are fed up with them.
