Hearts of Oak are spiritually weak - Ali Phobia

A staunch supporter of Hearts of Oak ‘Ali Phobia’ says the club’s struggles this season is as a result of their ‘spiritual challenges’.

The Phobians have known no peace since the shocking dismissal of coach David Duncan late last year.

His replacement, Mohammed Polo has since just won five of his 16 games in charge, losing a staggering nine.

The sleeping Ghanaian giants are now chasing second place with just three games to the end of the season.

But Ali Phobia says the current executives don’t do the necessary things in the spiritual realm to make the side successful.

“The club is spiritually weak,” he told Metro FM.

“We used to pry a lot for the team from contributions of some of us the supports and even David Duncan during his time.

“But under Neil [Armstrong] the usual prayers have been neglected.

“It was the reason for sacking Nat Ofosu (ex-team manager) and now the team is without any spiritual backing.”
