Chairman of the Hearts of Oak strategic Committee, Vincent Sowah Odotei has fired back at the Ghana Football Association for what he believes is an attempt to milk the Club of its finances.

The Phobians were slapped with a ghc 12000 fine after they were found guilty of crowd violence during their 2015/16 Ghana Premier League match week 6 fixture against Wa All Stars.

Also, the Phobians will play their next three home games behind closed doors. Two of its directors, Kwame Opare Addo and Barimah Attuahene have been banned for 2 years and charged to pay ghc 6000 each.

The total amount of the fines comes dow to ghc 24000, an action the Phobians seem to be contesting adding that the Club is not a cash cow.

“We have received the verdict of the Disciplinary Committee and in issues such as these, the first thing to do is to down with your lawyers to see the way forward. That is what we going to do.”

“But let me make one thing clear, Hearts of Oak is not a cash cow, and we will want everyone to know that”, Odotei told Adom fm.

For Odotei, why did the FA wait till after the super clash to pronounce judgment, a match they bagged in GH¢ 271,000 as net.
