New Edubiase United President Says Kotoko Fans' Curses Led To His Team's Relegation

blank

new-edubiase-2016
President of the relegated Premier League Club New Edubiase United, Yakubu Abdul Salam, has the most ridiculous reason ever for why his team was relegated – curses invoked on them by fans of Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Abdul Salam was speaking on Angel Fm when he made the ridiculous claim, essentially sticking a knife into all we know of reason and logic in this world. It’s enough to make you wonder how he arose to be President of ANYTHING, let alone a football club.

Accra Hearts Of Oak Reach 50,000 Facebook Followers – A Record Amongst Ghanaian Clubs But And An Indictment Of Their Lack Of Innovation

Hearts-of-oak
This illustrates perfectly a disconnect in Ghanaian sports between potential and execution – a lack of ability to apply multi faceted approaches to revenue mobilisation and utilisation.
Hearts of Oak play at the 40,000 capacity Accra Sports Stadium and in the olden days, routinely filled it for the big games. The number of fans who are dedicated enough to enter a stadium does not add up to 5% of any major club’s fan base. So for a club as big as Hearts of Oak, having 1m followers on social media should not be a big deal.

Nana Kwaku Bonsam was hailed by most after his ‘prediction’ for the Hearts-Kotoko game seemed to have come true, and now he wants credit from Kotoko or he would turn his wrath on them.
The priest said before the game that a ‘Mallam goal’ (a goal scored with the aid of supernatural forces) would decide the game, although he failed to mention in which team’s favour the Mallam goal would go.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko Knocked Out Of CAF Champions League After 2-1 Home Loss To Algeria’s Eulma

El Eulma

Kumasi Asante Kotoko exited this year’s CAF Champions League after falling to a painful 2-1 home loss to Algeria’s El Eulma at the Baba Yara sports stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors were hoping to continue to the latter stages, but fell prey to a well disciplined Algerian side who managed to outsmart them tactically, leaving the Kumasi sports stadium deathly still at the blast of the referee’s final whistle.

A goalless draw in the first leg meant Kotoko needed a simple win to progress, and they looked set on the path to victory when forward Obed Owusu put them ahead just before half time.

The Algerians came out for the second half determined to get a goal, knowing a 1-0 score line was going to send them crashing out. And they did equalise, in the 61st minute, putting them ahead on away goals.
