Wilberforce Mfum, a revered figure in the history of Asante Kotoko, has made a controversial suggestion regarding the team’s performance.
The 87-year-old advocate believes that Kotoko players should face the consequences of their poor results by enduring the wrath of their fans.
According to Mfum, such measures are necessary to motivate the players to improve their performance on the field.
He expressed deep disappointment with the team’s recent string of unfavourable outcomes, deeming them unacceptable for the loyal supporters of the club to endure.
As Kotoko continues to struggle, failing to secure victories in four of their most recent league matches during the 2023-24 season’s second round, Mfum’s remarks underscore the growing frustration among fans and stakeholders alike.
“The only advice I have for the players is that before wearing Kotoko’s jersey, they must be dedicated and have the team at heart, always play for the team with full commitment and not with a lazy attitude.”
He, however, believes that the fans should have beaten the players for losing those four games.
“I think the players have never been beaten before; they should have been beaten by the fans after a losing streak so they understood their worth. How can you be bought with a large sum of money and then given such a poor performance? he quizzed.
Asante Kotoko are ten points behind the leaders of the league; they face Bechem Utd in their next Ghana Premier League fixture at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem.
