JUDGEMENT DEBT LOOMING
Kumasi High Court 7 has ordered Asante Kotoko to pay a debt of GHC69,960 to Noks hotel following the club usage of their facility during the era of Dr Kwame Kyei as an executive board chairman and George Amoako as the CEO.
This is financially unpleasant to the current management, it seems debts accrued during Dr Kwame Kyei regime could have built a mini stadium for the club. Mismanagement has been a canker to Asante Kotoko previously.

~Blame the FA president and the Executive council of the Ghana football Association for the constant clashes between Northern clubs and the Bono clubs.~
The FA President and Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association have to be blamed for the perennial bad blood between the teams from the Northern Regions and the Bono Regions.
There have been constant tension and violence between these Regions right at the lower tier of our football.
The unhealthy rivalry is at its peak at the Division one which has recorded several brutalities between teams from the North and the Bono Regions in the past few seasons but the governing body have failed to solve it.
The seemingly uncontrollable and unsolvable situation made the Executive council of the Association to split Zone One of the National Division One League into two zones.( A and B) ZONE ONE CONSIST OF MAINLY BONO AND NORTHERN TEAMS.
The decision means the sixteen competing clubs would be split into two Zones of eight clubs each after which the two top teams will engage in a playoff to determine the winner of the Zone and the club that qualifies for the Premier.
Other zones, to wit; zone 2 and zone 3 are not like that. The winners of these Zones (2 and 3) automatically qualifies to premier league without any playoffs as compared to Zone 1.
The split in Zone one ensured that Zone A is dominated by teams from the North while Zone B is dominated by Bono teams. The reason for the split between the Bono teams and the Northern teams was to avoid the two Regions from meeting each other in the Division one League as a way of solving the long standing tension and violence between the two Regions with regards to football at that level.
But, this is a knee -jerk approach in solving the problem as the tension may forever exist whether they play among themselves or not and I'm not surprised it has now graduated to the top flight football where premier league clubs from Bono Regions and Northern Regions are engaged in violence. Specifically Aduana FC and Tamale City.
The blame has to be put right on the door step of the FA President and the EXCO members for the lazy approach in dealing with the matter right from Division one.
Violence and hooliganism cannot be limited by space, time or by segregation but by matured dialogue and fairness to both parties.
The FA and the EXCO members have to go back to the drawing board and plan out how to solve this violence between the BONO AND NORTHERN TEAMS right from Division one to premier before we record a national calamity.
