The three Ghanaian superstars who honed their talents at the famous local club held a meeting with now majority shareholder Felix Ansong on Wednesday regarding the future of the financially -stricken Premier League side.

The former players are unhappy with attempts to sell majority stake to business tycoon Bryan Acheampong, who is reported to be inching closer to acquiring 70 percent stake in the club.

Ghana's leading football website, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal the former players are livid with attempts to sell the legacy of deceased President Alhaji Sly Tetteh, vowing to pull resources together to salvage the situation.
