Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Mohammed Alhassan, expressed concerns about the club's declining performance in recent years.
He noted that Asante Kotoko is losing its reputation as a formidable team in both the domestic league and African inter-club competitions due to its recent performance.
Speaking on Kessben FM in Kumasi, Mohammed Alhassan, who also had experience playing for Bofoakwa Tano FC and currently resides in the United States of America, called upon Asante Kotoko's leadership to invest in acquiring top players to reestablish the club's reputation and attract supporters back to the stadium.
"Asante Kotoko standards have fallen because they can’t boast of any top player as compared to previous years. Kotoko had top players like Charles Taylor, Stephen Oduro, Nana Arhin Duah and others, who won fans to the stadium but the narrative has changed this time. If the team had purchase some experienced players, they could have won fans to the stadium”
Recalling his days with Bofoakwa Tano, he said “During my days with Bofoakwa Tano, we used to train three times a day anytime about to engage Kotoko because we knew quality they possessed. We knew of threats from Charles Taylor, Stephen Oduro and others so anytime you face them you have to prepare well but it is not the same at the moment, Now, clubs are able to pick maximum points in Kumasi because of fallen standards”
