"I felt sad when I heard about AshGold case, not because I have coached them , but I once played and when returned to coach I was extremely happy," he told Akoma FM.
"But today, it is sad that one of the best clubs to have great facilities and should not go down with all these facilities.
"Unfortunately, AshGold has been mismanaged and the people in administration should answer questions," he insisted.
"It's really sad AshGold is going down like this," he bemoaned.
