Hearts of Oak legend Amankwah Mireku has questioned the commitment and quality of the players of the club.

The CAF Champions League-winning captain opined that the Board of the club, including Togbe Afede XIV, is not to be blamed for the club’s abysmal performance in the 2022/23 betPawa Premier League.

The Phobians have dropped to 11th on the league standings with 45 points and are in danger of being relegated to Division One.

Speaking on Max FM, the decorated footballer said the board of the club did its part by providing for the players, and showing faith in them.

“Togbe’s responsibility is to fund the transfers of recommended players. Togbe, Akambi, and the rest of the management team put their faith in the players. It’s now left to the players to do theirs on the field. If they don’t perform it makes the faith void. Their quality is very low.”

Mireku played 16 games for the Black Stars from 2001 to 2005 where he played his first game on March 11, 2001 against Nigeria
