Hearts of Oak board member, Vincent Sowah Odotei, extends a rallying call to the disappointed supporters of the team in the aftermath of a 3-2 defeat to Asante Kotoko during the Week 14 encounter of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
Acknowledging the dissatisfaction among fans, he emphasizes the collective effort needed from both supporters and the board to steer the team toward the desired results.
In a post-match analysis with Akoma FM, Sowah Odotei appeals for patience and calmness, recognizing the financial and temporal investments made by the Board of Directors. Despite the setback against Asante Kotoko, he urges fans to maintain their support and assures them that the board is committed to scrutinizing the reasons behind the on-field results not aligning with the club’s potential.
“I understand that the fans are dissatisfied, as are we, the Board of Directors, who are investing our money and time, however, I will appeal to them to remain calm while we work together with everyone to review why the on-field results do not correspond to the capacity we have as a club,” Sowah Odotei articulates, underlining the importance of unity in navigating challenges.
While reflecting on the defeat, Sowah Odotei underscores that Hearts of Oak’s ultimate goal remains unchanged – to achieve success and clinch trophies in the ongoing season. With a marathon mindset rather than a sprint mentality, he encourages a broader perspective on the league, emphasizing that a single loss does not define the team’s journey.
“Hearts Of Oak’s goal is to be successful in everything we do, and this will not change. The league is a marathon, not a sprint; we lost this battle, but the war is far from over.
We will return to the drawing board, review the situation, and believe that the right decisions are being made,” reassures Vincent Sowah Odotei, instilling confidence in the Hearts of Oak community that strategic evaluations and decisive actions will pave the way for future triumphs.
