  Duncan has been in charge for only one month so we can't possibly expect him to do wonders,, i can only caution him to lower expectations for his own good.. he is a great motivator and he will succeed,

  Ghana's best players play for Kotoko - Duncan
  Kotoko coach David Duncan has laid another salvo of words sure to ignite debate countrywide “If you are playing for Kotoko then you have to consider yourself to be amongst the best,” he said on Wednesday in Kumasi.
  
  The occasion was the pre-match press conference for the club's crucial Caf Confed Cup second leg game with El Eulma this weekend. The coach has brought some verve into the team's dressing room since replacing Mas-ud Dramani.
  
  And he's wasted no time in grabbing headlines with his proclamations.
  
  "Kotoko, if not the best in Africa, then certainly is the best in Ghana and therefore if you are a player of this club, you should have the mindset of being the best."
  
  For the time being, Duncan's money is where his mouth is, for he is yet to lose. He also hinted at the presser of a very attacking setup when the Algerians come to town.
  
  "A player for Kotoko should think of himself as being the standard for many players to measure themselves with and therefore they should start thinking and exhibiting such traits."
  
  Kotoko were 14th when the former Hearts coach took over; they are currently fifth on the log in the league.

  "For a fact, not everyone at Kotoko is happy and that much has been made unambiguously clear by some who matter at the club. Consider, for instance, the words of former CEO Jarvis Peprah earlier this week.
  
  “The truth is that Duncan hates Asante Kotoko," Peprah revealed to Kumasi-based Angel FM.
  
  “When he was in charge of Ashanti Gold and other clubs, some of the comments he made about Asante Kotoko were inflammatory. So if I was still the club’s CEO, I would never have sanctioned such a move for Duncan because he has always wished Kotoko’s downfall.”
  
  Key among the 'other clubs' Peprah refers to in making his point is Accra Hearts of Oak, Kotoko's rivals and a side Duncan handled only last season. During his tenure with the Phobians, Duncan cooked up and sold a conspiracy theory which put Kotoko right in the eye of a storm.
  
  It was an accusation which, quite reasonably, didn't go down too well with the Kotoko clan, not least a big-wig like Peprah.
  
  “You remember that he complained about Asante Kotoko being favoured with respect to players being selected to the national teams and even the appointment of coaches, with respect to Maxwell Konadu and Kwesi Appiah. He spoke with bitterness and his comments almost put Konadu’s life at risk. I met him once and I drew his attention to what he was doing,” said Peprah."

  The true Duncan will soon emerge. Better bring Didi back. See how Dortmund kept faith with their coach despite their poor start to this season.
