Hearts not ready for chief executive!

The Deputy National Organiser of the National Chapters Committee (NCC), the supporters wing of Accra Hearts of Oak, Mohammed Alhassan, has urged the board of the club to suspend the appointment of a substantive Chief Executive until the end of the current season.

This, he explained, is to provide the current acting administration the peace of mind to concentrate on the annexation of the league trophy and other assignments in the current season. Mohammed Alhassan was speaking to the Graphic Sports on issues relating to the present calm within the ranks of the Phobians which have led to their unimpressive outing in Africa, leading to their early exit, courtesy Abdul Razak?s Stade d?Malien.

The Chief Executive position of the club became vacant after the Mr Harry ?Phobia? Zakkour resigned the post just before the start of the current season necessitating the appointment of his then lieutenant, Mr Thomas Okine, as the Chief Executive of the club in an acting capacity.

The board of the club had advertised three positions in the club for full-time staff to fill the positions of Chief Executive, Accountant and Assistant Administrative Manager. This has attracted great response from interested personalities wishing to steer the affairs of the club, with nearly 80 applications reportedly submitted for that purpose.

But the NCC Deputy Organiser believes any attempt to change the top brass of the club?s present management could jeopardise the existing tranquillity within their fold which has seen them taking a commanding lead in the six-week old league. ?Having come this far in the year, and having done so well to ensure the prevailing impressive form of the playing staff and their handlers, we should be careful in our actions not to detract the attention of the acting Chief Executive and his staff,? Alhassan emphasised.
