Hearts: Veep Amissah Arthur, second to Togbe Afede

Ghana’s vice-President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is the second largest shareholder of crisis-club Hearts of Oak.

Media reports revealed on Monday that the soft-spoken Ghanaian vice-president was pondering injecting a staggering $100,000 into the club to whip up activity in the transfer market.

As expected, the club has vehemently denied the reports, insisting it's wide of the mark as their struggles continue.

The club’s inactivity in the transfer market coupled with bitter power struggle is threatening yet another Premier League campaign which starts on December 20.

Hearts officials have told friends majority shareholder Togbe Afede XIV is at the end of his tether amid a growing financial quagmire that threatens their existence.

Former top officials have walked away from the club, accusing the current majority shareholder of running a one-man show.

But in the midst of the brewing controversy, second highest shareholder Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has remained silent and on the fringes, it appears.

An avid supporter of the club, the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, is yet to make his stake felt as he watches on as the club goes into the ditch.

Frustration is staring in the faces of their teeming supporters as it appears the upcoming season won’t be anything different.

They are yet to spark in the transfer market with run-of-the-mill players likely to lead their charge this season.

Hearts fans continue to watch in agony as their bitterest rivals Kotoko makes all the significant signings after Toge Afede declared there was no money to buy big-name players.

Japanese coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi appears to be a desperate man as he attempts to inspire a team low on confidence due to the club’s current financial situation.
