Board member of Hearts of Oak, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has stated that he is shocked that Ashanti Gold SC have dragged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to court.
The former Premier League club has injuncted the league following their demotion to Division Two after being found guilty of match manipulation during a Premier League game against Inter Allies.
Speaking to the Graphic Sports, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said he would be surprised, if the verdict went in favour of the petitioners because they have no case.
“I am surprised they went to court because this is a clear case of a fraudulent act. They have no case; their behaviour was bad and I will be surprised, if judgement is given in their favour," he said.
“The officials should have been banned completely from football."
Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamkloe further stated that he would have given a stiffer punishment to the club owners, if he were the Ghana FA president and believed that whatever punishment was handed to the officials involved should serve as a deterrent to others who wanted to follow suit.
“The offence committed is serious and the punishment given to them is appropriate. I would have made it 10 years, if I were the FA president,” he added.
