Former Management member of Asante Kotoko, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh says the days of funding Asante Kotoko by rich individual Board members is simply an old football administrative approach that should be abolished.
Speaking on Adanseɛ sports, the former management member reiterated that, the board members are to formulate policies for the club while the management is to raise money to fund the daily activities of the club.
“Those days when rich individual board members contributed monies to buy players and fund our other expenditure should be a thing of the past,” he said.
The Board is supposed to formulate plans and create avenues for money-making while the management explores such avenues to make the club rich and self-sufficient”.
“If the individuals continue to pay money into the club without the management bringing anything on board, then what will be the real work of the management” he quizzed.
Many football fans get elated when rich people are appointed onto Boards of clubs. Something the experienced football administrators are urging the fans to desist from to create a peaceful environment for club administrators and players.
“When rich individuals get the mindset of fueling the smooth movement of clubs through their pockets, they turn to assume unnecessary power, causing trouble for those in charge of the day to day administration of the club” the former Ejisu MCE concluded.
