“We are not as we used to be 15-20 years back. It should end from today. The purpose of organizing this game is to put these two clubs together again. We have to take over the command of Ghana football. We are going to engage in serious reforms and at this stage, Kotoko and Hearts must be the front runners of the reforms. Gone are the days when clubs up their budget when they are facing Kotoko and Hearts we knew some years back. If Kotoko and Hearts can’t rise, Ghana football will remain like this” He told the media at the launch of the Clash of the titans football match.

But off the pitch we need to come together and fight for a common goal. We are going back to our olden days when we used to be together and Ghana football was the toast of African football” He concluded.
