Hearts supporters demand removal of Osei-Tutu Agyemang
The supporters leadership of Hearts of Oak are demanding the immediate removal of Osei-Tutu Agyemang as chairman of the Ghana FA’s Referees Committee.
National Chapter Committee (Supporter win of Hearts) chairman Alhaji Akanbi insists he has proof of the Asanti Regional FA Chairman’s complicity in a grand scheme to hand the league title to Asante Kotoko by way of influencing match officials.
Akanbi says he will be tendering the evidence to the Premier League Board for immediate action to be taken of which failure will result in Hearts of Oak staging a boycott from this season’s competition.
“I have in my possession conclusive recordings of Osei Tutu revealing how he will use his position to make sure the league title is won by Kotoko,” Akanbi told Kumasi-based Angel FM.
“We failed to take action when we first got wind of the grand scheme because we lacked evidence but now we have them and they will be given to the PLB.
“The evidence clearly shows how Kotoro (Osei-Tutu) plans to use his position to influence referees to rob Hearts to ultimately hand the league to Kotoko.
“It is our hope that the PLB after analyzing the evidence will strip him (Osei-Tutu) off his position else Hearts will pull out from the league.”

YENMo BiO papa.woanim aguase!

When the Agbovis were in charge and you were winning the league like VAG lotto you did not boycott the league? Give us a break Akanbi. You team is not good enough……is Hats the only team that can challenge the title? So are all the other teams not on top of the league because of Kotoro? Go sleep bro!

I tell u my semi-bro akanbi or whoever u call ursef…….these thins win league: quality players, massive support frm supporters, good coach training, ad systematic approach to each game one @ a tym…….all dez have bn put together by football intellects like KK Sarpong ad Co at the soccer university………now if u think otherwise…….kiz our ass: faaaabulous! Wat can we do without u??? Super fantabulous asante kotoko………..u bring smile on ma face. Rein says so:
I am very very disappointed with this man call Akanbi.First it was their ceo who was behind their woes ,then came to the board then to the coach and the players and now mr Osei Tutu.Who will be the next victim Akanbi.What have u done for ur team for the long time u call urself a true supporter.U should rather be ashame of urself for accusing mr osei Tutu.Is ur Ceo not among the referee committee that select the referees? pls give us a break ,we don’t need u in ghana football.Go and find another work to do.They should sack u from ur post as some of ur own hearts supporters are saying.FAAAABU THE BEST
Ogyiminii Alhaji Akanbi,ebe e Osei Tutu guy wey e play e penalty wey Mahatma Otoo spoil am or ebe ur moda wey he appoint dat particular referee to aard Hearts of Oak e penalty??u no have sense koraaa….kwasito
Ogyiminii Alhaji Akanbi,ebe e Osei Tutu guy wey he play e penalty wey Mahatma Otoo spoil am or ebe ur moda wey she appoint dat particular referee to hand Hearts of Oak e penalty??u no have sense koraaa….kwasiato
Rubbish! Aaabsolutely RUBBISH!! Aaah! Enti akwaa wei nso obi betumi afr3 no Daddy? W’agyimi papa. Yieee.
U de insult on social netwrk like fools.u better stop that green behaviour,cos it wil nt take u anywhere.
At Obuasi you scored an own goal… was it the ref who scored… in Accra you had a penalty missed was it the ref who kicked it. come on when people are putting thier house in order you were buying old men, When you people beat hearts of lions and was jubilating over bra layer i told you to wait till you met others… now there you are.
akanbe n aziz shd give us a break,if u cld recollect in e 1st round,e team dat were most favoured in e 1st round was hrts of oak,most refs got sanctioned b’coz of hrts,,most clubs cried bitterly b’coz of some dubious penalties n not to be goals etc.they shd stop throwin dust into our n concentrate on rebuilding e team though kotoro’s statement was unfortunate.
I’m ashamed of u if u cld say dis.U no u don’t have team,evn if all de ref bks u,u can’t win wid dis abysmal perfomance.Sit up n cm again.
Oh my god wat is dis? Its obvious hats r so confused and r on a witch hunting lookin 4 people 2 blame. U see until hats move away frm the 1840 way of futbal managemnt, tins wil only get worse. Talkn of refs, we al saw the goal awarded hats against new edubiase @ ohene djan which neva crossed the line. De primitive akanbi shld go bak n watch the dubious goal awarded hats in cape coast against arsenal which resulted in the ref and his assistant banned 4 six wks. I guess akanbi’s moda’s pussy awarded hats the penalty against tema youth. Kotoko hav had only 1 penalty so far dis season against b.chelsea, how many have hats had akanbi? Do refs disallow the goals hats score? Why blame them? Infact akanbi is an idiot. Hats needs total revolution lyk kotoko is doing. 4instance kotoko signed only 3 players in the 2nd window; helegbe.acheampong n p baffoe.hats signed 12 new players.dats a new team. Is dat modern futbal? How do u blend all these players? These r the tins i xpect the shallow minded akanbi n his cohorts to address n stop blaming everyone. Next tyms hats wil start blamin pple contributin on dis forum as de reason 4 their lackluster n shambolic performance. Wat a shame. Wey kind alhaji be dis? He goofs lyk no 1 does.such a Pussy.
U see, shifting of blame. while ppl where spending huge sums of money to prepare their teams, even sending their coaches outside fhe country for refresher courses u guyz were recruiting retired and third division players into ur team and now u want to. shift attention. this is purely incompitent and some ppl must resign.
Akanbi is a disgrace to Ghana football. If I were phobian trust me, I would have stop going to stadium or stop paying my dues till tht so call akanbi resigns. he is trying so hard to attribute their underperforming to referees and osei tutu instead of u to look @ the way forward. twiaaaaaa.
There are two sides to every issue. Let us wait for this “evidence” to be made available to the PLB first.
Yes that is true, this kotoro man told mahatma ofunu otoo to trow the penalty away. it’s tym we get serious in this country. idiot monster,even 5yr old child know that ur team is just a whack.
Hahahaha,,, cheeeewwwwww!
Alhaji Akanbi and his ilks are those destroying phobia. when the league went on recess for player registration, i was expecting the team to buy committed and hard working players and offload those who were not needed. Instead they settled for players who were not up to scratch in their teams. For example, if edward affum and haruna ganiyu were such great players, u think Kotoko wud have allowed them to go? Sadat Karim the former RTU striker transferred to Chelsea but was not up to it, he was loaned to ASHGOLD but still managed just a handful of goals. Laryea and Abban were good but for a team that was in dire need of a goal poacher, what real striker did they purchase? Abban is good but plays just like mahatma so the value is the same. Instead of focussing on next season and strategizing as such, Alhaji and his cohorts first blamed their board. it was dissolved and shares were floated. then they blamed he (akanbi) for opting to be on the board. later they blamed the CEO, then a former goalkeepers trainer who was accused of juju. later, they blamed the players for lack of commitment and then the coach for tactical bankruptcy. After all these, they are now blaming referees and the appointments’ committee chairman. A staunch supporter was even on a Radio station (Oman Sports Agenda) blaming metro tv for always showing their matches and not showing Kotoko’s. If u blame everyone else for ur mistakes, u will never find the solution. Last season, Hearts were almost in the drop zone, it took this same coach to lift them up. Please, the leaders should sometimes take the hard decision of ignoring the supporters and doing what is right for the club. If the board will kowtow almost every time to the whims of the supporters, the team will always be stagnant. Hearts need young and committed players. They desperately need a striker. Please Alhaji, I will respect your title and your age. Please, treat what kotoro said differently from ur team’s performance. Also, please leave Kotoko out of this whole caboodle, kotoko is where it is due to hard work and good and effective management. Remember, they were in Serbia, Tanzania and the likes. Even on ur 100th anniversary match, u lost. please.
No wonder dis site is full of stupid n nonsence comment,bcos mch of them are kotoko fanc who never learn any rules about footbal
why dont u ask 4 the tape rader than dat insult,once again no wonder.
Let’s for once get serious and stop being jokers!! Chairman Akanbi must be up and doing cos he’s trailing as a chairman and a true supporter of Accra Hearts of Oak. I get very dissapointed whenever i read such things and eventually loses appetite for our local league. Is this man saying, Ref’s Committee Chairman is responsible for Hearts’ poor performance in the ongoing 2nd round of the Glo Premier League? come on let’s get a bit serious
