In an interview with Akoma FM, he lamented the low attendance of fans at Ghana Premier League games and said that there would not even be enough money left over at the end of the month to pay player salaries.
"The impact of low attendance for Kotoko is really significant; in our most recent two games, we received GHS 15,000 after expenses.
David Obeng Nyarko said, "Our pay bill is presently above 300,000gh every month, however supporters want us to keep players even if they are not coming to the stadium.
"We need our supporters in their numbers," he said, "so that we can fulfill all of their requests. The stadium is the place to address all of their complaints.
"Players feel discouraged when they arrive for warm-up and the stadium is empty."
The Ghana Premier League's poor attendance at several match locations has recently gained attention.
Due to low stadium attendance, some teams regrettably are not profiting at all from gate receipts.

Mudasiru Salifu's signing with Saudi Al Batin FC has been confirmed.
Mudasiru Salifu, a midfielder for Asante Kotoko, has officially signed with Al Batin FC.
According to the club's announcement, "The signing process with the Ghanaian player Mudasiro Salifu has been completed by the club management."
The midfielder, who joined Sherrif Tiraspol in July of last year, enjoyed a good loan stint there before joining Al Batin for the balance of the 2022–23 campaign.
The 25-year-old midfielder has the possibility to be signed by Al Batin on a long-term basis if he performs well during his brief stay.
In the Moldovan League, UEFA Champions League qualifying, UEFA Europa League playoff, and Europa League group stages, Salifu made 21 games for Sherrif.
With just a point after 11 rounds of games, Al Batin is now in last place in the Saudi Pro League, and improvement will be needed with the signing of Salifu.
Salifu joins former Black Stars midfielder Afriyie Acquah as the second Ghanaian player to play for Al Batin from July 2021 until January 2022.
