Asante Kotoko captain Felix Annan has told his management to engage the playing body before any decision is taken in relation to pay cuts amid coronavirus pandemic.

The Porcupine Warriors are reportedly considering reducing the salaries of players and coaching staff as there has been a drop in their financial resources as a result of Coronavirus outbreak.

Their major source of income which is gate proceeds has been blocked following the suspension of all football competitions across the country.

“In life, I've always believed in proper communication and in everything you do communication is very key," Annan told Atinka FM in response to rumours about a slash in the camp of the Porcupine Warriors.

“So if management engages the playing body in a meeting and we come into consensus, why not [we will accept]?

“This is not something that should be forced on us.

“The clubs in Europe engaged their players in a meeting and agreed on that pay cut decision.

“We all understand the situation but we should all come to terms of what is best for all of us.”
