B.A United players and coaches dying of hunger

BA United are in trouble! After the taking over of the team by Kwabena Kyere Stuttgart, many were of the view that he was going to help the team rise from the doldrums but information reaching Ark Sports indicate that the players are not getting enough support from the management.

One of the players approached me amid screaming of hunger because he had not eaten for one week. The team owes the players almost 5 months of unpaid salaries including the technical team. Stuttgart, thought initially the name B/A United was going to fetch the team enough money so he came with bare hands and nothing. If you don't have money, you don’t have to force yourself to go and lead a team like B/A United.

B/A United is no longer an enticing team to attract any loan or sponsorship from any organization. The purpose of his take-over of the team is because he was thinking of using the team as collateral for huge bank loans but in actual fact he is just making a mockery of the supporters of the club.

The most annoying aspect is that he has formed another club, Young Apostles, a division two club knowing he can’t pay even the division 2 team. I always says that a sports journalist can't handle a football team because they are thrifty in nature. Micky Charles set that bad example there for all to see but B/A United did not take advice from that and appointed Stuttgart too. B/A United must be sold to an external person or body of persons who can use their own money to turn around the flagging fortunes of the team.

I supported Stuttgart at first but later on realised he was not doing the team any good based upon the management team he named to help his administration. Where is the communication director of the club? He is no longer in Sunyani where the club is based.

Stuttgart is a failure, the earlier he resigned the better because the position of the club on the division one league log currently foretells how badly the team will become if he continues as a CEO.
