Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a board member of Accra Hearts of Oak, is furious about remarks made by the former board secretary, Ernest Thompson, which he claims could agitate the club’s fan base against the management.
He claimed that Mr. Thompson, who was a former director of the club, should use caution when making statements rather than trying to incite conflict between the club’s management and its supporters.

Last Thursday, the Daily Graphic carried a story in which Mr Thompson backed a decision by the Hearts supporters to physically prevent the club’s head coach, Slavko Matic, from conducting the team’s training two days ahead of their top league fixture against Asante Kotoko in Accra and subsequently asked the coach to stay away from the team.
In supporting the action against the coach, Mr Thompson admonished the Hearts management and the Board to give consideration to grievances by the supporters, who are the real owners of the club, as a way of preventing such agitations from exploding and resulting in a possible takeover of the club in the future.
In Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe’s opinion, the former board secretary’s comments were unfortunate and suggested he did not have the club at heart.
“His statement shows clearly that he has no good intensions for Accra Hearts of Oak and this is unfortunate particularly when he has once been a member of management,” he told the Daily Graphic last Sunday.
Despite backing the action to restrain Coach Matic from training the team, the Hearts director said the aggrieved supporters used an inappropriate channel in their bid to get their grievances resolved.
